Michael Clarke Duncan

Michael Clarke Duncan.

A prolific character actor of movies like 'The Green Mile", Planet of the Apes" and The whole Nine Yards" is dead. According to report, he died in his hospital room in Los Angeles where he was receiving treatment for a heart attack he was struck with. Born in Chicago in 1957, Duncan was raised by a single mother whose resistance to his playing football led to his deciding he wanted to become an actor. But when his mother became ill, he dropped out of college, Alcorn State University, and worked as a ditch digger and bouncer to support her. By his mid-20s, he was in Los Angeles, where he looked for acting parts and became a bodyguard for Will Smith, Jamie Foxx and other stars. Duncan's rep tells TMZ the actor never fully recovered from the myocardial infarction he suffered on July 13. As TMZ first reported, Omarosa found Duncan in cardiac arrest and performed CPR and was able to resuscitate him before calling 911. The rep tells us, "[Omarosa] Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date." It is therefore to be noted that as Michael Jackson passed on, so as Michael Clarke Duncan. As this story seems not to be enough, Do you know who is next?
