Michael Clarke Duncan (December 10,
1957 – September 3, 2012)[1] was an
American actor, best known for his breakout
role as John Coffey in The Green Mile, for
which he was nominated for an Academy
Award and a Golden Globe. He is also
recognized for his appearances in motion
pictures such as Armageddon, The Whole
Nine Yards, and Daredevil, as well as voice
acting roles in works such as Brother Bear
and Delgo.
Early life
Duncan was born in Chicago, Illinois, and
grew up in a single-parent household with
his sister, Judy, and mother, Jean Duncan (a
house cleaner), after his father left.[2][3] He
always wanted to act, but had to drop out of
the Communications program at Alcorn
State University to support his family when
his mother became ill. Duncan's large frame
—6 feet 5 inches (196 cm)[4] and 315
pounds (142 kg)—helped him in his jobs
digging ditches for the People's Gas
Company and being a bouncer at several
Chicago clubs. Duncan stated that one of
his many jobs had been a stripper and that
his stage name was Black Caesar.[5]
In 1979, he participated in the Disco
Demolition Night at Comiskey Park, home of
the Chicago White Sox: he was among the
first 100 people to run onto the field and he
slid into third base. During the ensuing riot
his silver belt buckle was stolen[6] while he
was stealing a baseball bat from the dugout.
[7] Clarke would later provide the narration
for the 2005 World Series film.
Career
Duncan took other security jobs while in Los
Angeles while trying to get some acting
work in commercials. During this time, he
worked as a bodyguard for celebrities like
Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx, LL
Cool J, and Notorious B.I.G., all the while
doing bit parts in television and films. When
the Notorious B.I.G. was killed in 1997,
Duncan quit this line of work.[4]
In 1998, Duncan was cast as Bear in the
film Armageddon, where he struck up a
friendship with castmate Bruce Willis. It was
Bruce Willis' influence that helped him to
get his breakout role as John Coffey in the
Frank Darabont-directed The Green Mile, a
role which netted him an Academy Award
nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting
Role and a Golden Globe nomination for
Best Performance by an Actor in a
Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
.[8][9]
Duncan then was cast in a string of films
that helped to establish him as a star: The
Whole Nine Yards, Planet of the Apes, The
Scorpion King (where he starred alongside
his friend, The Rock), The Island and
Daredevil as Wilson Fisk, aka The Kingpin.
Duncan signed on for the role of the Kingpin
in January 2002, though he had been
attached far earlier.[10] When he was cast,
he weighed 290 pounds. He was asked to
gain 40 pounds for the role in order to fit the
physique of Kingpin. In order to do this, he
would lift weights for 30 minutes a day, and
power-lifted with one or two reps a day, as
well as eating whatever he wanted. Despite
this, Duncan's biggest concern was that he
was black, because Kingpin had always
been portrayed as white.[11] He spoke on
the fans' loyalty to the source material by
saying "they watch movies to say, 'Hey,
that's not like the comic book.' But I want
them to get past that and just see the
movie for what it is and see me for what I
am—an actor."[12]
In July 2006, Duncan showed interest in
returning for the role of the Kingpin, but
stated that he would not be willing to gain
weight as he felt "comfortable" being down
to 270 pounds. However, he jokingly
showed willingness to change his mind if he
were offered $20 million. Duncan suggested
that the character be portrayed as having
been training a lot in jail in order to become
faster in combat against Daredevil, also
working as a way to fit his weight loss into
the story.[13] In 2009, he stopped eating
meat and later appeared in a PETA ad
campaign, touting the health benefits and
his increased strength from a vegetarian
diet.[14]
Duncan also provided his voice for a number
of roles, including Brother Bear and its
sequel, Brother Bear 2, The Land Before
Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses
, Quiznos commercials, and the video games
Demon Stone, SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs,
The Suffering: Ties That Bind, Saints Row,
and Soldier of Fortune, with his most recent
role being God of War II, where he provides
the voice of Atlas, the Titan condemned by
Zeus to stand at the western edge of the
earth and hold up the sky on his shoulders.
He reprised his role as the Kingpin in Spider-
Man: The New Animated Series.
In 2005, he starred in the film Sin City
(again alongside Bruce Willis) as Manute, a
powerful mobster. Duncan appeared in a
minor role in the 2006 movie Talladega
Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby as Lucius
Washington, and he voiced the role of the
villain Massive in Loonatics Unleashed. In
2006, he voiced the role of Numbuh 26 in
the animated movie Codename: Kids Next
Door: Operation ZERO. Additionally, he
played Balrog in Street Fighter: The Legend
of Chun-Li and voiced the prison
commander in Kung Fu Panda.
He also guest starred in numerous television
shows. He appeared in an episode of The
Suite Life of Zack and Cody, titled
"Benchwarmers", as Zack's basketball
coach, Coach Little. In 2005, Duncan guest-
starred in a first-season episode of CSI: NY.
[15] He appeared as "Colt" in the second-
season premiere of Chuck, "Chuck Versus
The First Date".[16] In November he
appeared as a guest star on the CBS show
Two and a Half Men. In April 2011 Duncan
guest starred on an episode of TV series
Bones as Leo Knox. In 2012, Duncan got his
first starring role as the same character in
the spinoff series The Finder. In the same
year, he appeared in a public service
announcement advertising the importance
of knowing early-onset symptoms of
strokes. During the week of May 14, 2012,
Duncan appeared on the late night talk
show The Late Late Show with Craig
Ferguson as a guest, when the show was
taping for a week in Scotland.
Illness and death
On July 13, 2012, Duncan was sent to the
hospital after suffering from a heart attack.
[17] It was reported that his girlfriend,
Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, potentially
saved his life by performing CPR before he
was transported to the hospital.[18]
Duncan's publicist Joy Fehily said in a
statement on August 6, 2012 that he was
moved from the intensive care unit but
remained hospitalized following his July 13
heart attack.[19]
On September 3, 2012, a publicist quoted
Manigault as saying that Duncan had died
that morning in Los Angeles at the age of
54. "The Oscar-nominated actor suffered a
myocardial infarction on July 13 and never
fully recovered," publicist Joy Fehily said,
adding that celebrations of Duncan's life
would be announced at a later date.[1][20]
The statement also, for the first time,
described Manigault as Duncan's fiancée.
