Michael Clarke Duncan
Septemeber 3, 2012
Michael Clarke Duncan, the prolific character actor
whose dozens of films included an Oscar-
nominated performance as a death row
inmate in The Green Mile, has died aged 54.
Duncan died on Monday at the Cedars-Sinai
medical centre in Los Angeles, where he was being
treated for a heart attack, according
to his fiancee, Omarosa Manigault.
The muscular, 6ft 4in Duncan – a former
bodyguard who turned to acting in his 30s –
"suffered a myocardial infarction on 13 July
and never fully recovered", said a statement issued
by a spokesman.
Duncan had a handful of minor roles before The
Green Mile brought him an Oscar nomination for
best supporting actor. Duncan's performance
impressed critics and moviegoers and he quickly
became a favourite in Hollywood, appearing in
several films a year.
He owed some of his good fortune to Bruce Willis,
who recommended Duncan for The Green Mile after
the two appeared together in Armageddon.
Duncan would work with Willis again in Breakfast of
Champions, The Whole Nine Yards and Sin City.

He portrayed Napoleon Bonaparte twice, including in "War and Peace" in 1956 alongside Henry Fonda and
Audrey Hepburn, and the King of Siam in the first London production of the stage musical "The King and I"
in 1953.
Two years later he collaborated with Peter Sellers in the dark comedy "The Ladykillers", and they would work
together again in the 1960s and 1970s on the Pink Panther series.
In them Lom played the increasingly crazed Dreyfus alongside Sellers' hapless Inspector Clouseau, and the
success of his character owed much to Lom's own improvisations.
