Michael Clarke Duncan is dead at age 54

Michael Clarke DuncanOscar nominated actor Michael Clarke Duncan passed away Monday September 3, 2012, he was 54 years old. Duncan suffered a heart attack in mid-July and was hospitalized in the intensive care unit for over a month. He never truly recovered.

He is most well know for his role along side Tom Hanks as John Coffey in The Green Mile, for which, he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. You might also remember him as Bear in Armageddon, Attar in Planet of the Apes, Balthazar in The Scorpion King, and The Kingpin in Daredevil.

On television, Michael Clarke Duncan was last seen co-starring as Leon Knox with Geoff Stults on the Hart Hanson created Bones spin-off, The Finder.

On Twitter, his friends and co-workers continue their outpouring of grief, remembering their friend who epitomized the term gentle giant.

Is the Finder someone you’d watch every week?

The character could front a new Fox show this fall, alongside his legal adviser/bodyguard Leo (Michael Clarke Duncan) and bartender/pilot/systems analyst Ike (Saffron Burrows). Are you rooting for him?

If “Finder” — also featuring Saffron Burrows as Ike Latulippe, the badass who drives the boats, flies the planes, and owns The Ends of the Earth, the bar they call their headquarters — makes it to series, it will be Duncan’s first regular TV gig. (If not, at least he’s got voicing Kilowog in this summer’s Green Lantern to fall back on.)
