He became known to the world after a star turn in Armageddon but it was a role that followed the following year that really made the world stand up and take notice. That role was John Coffey in Frank Darbonts big screen adaption of Stephen Kings 'The Green Mile'. He was offered the part after Bruce Willis recommended him to Darabont after being impressed by him while making Armageddon. The role won Duncan an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor.
He appeared on our screens many times since in things like Planet of the Apes, Daredevil and Sin City.
He can currently be seen on TV in England in the fun show The Finder. Unfortunately cancelled by fox (they always do cancel the good shows)
Michael Clarke Duncan 1957 - 2012
