I really liked that guy.

He was in a shitload of movies that I watched.  I guess that meant that I liked him as an actor.

I'm only kidding - I think he was probably more talented than he was given credit for.

I'll miss his acting.

He always struck me as a genuinely nice guy.

As much as I loved The Green Mile, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of him is Sin City.  Great actor, he'll be missed.

I don't think I've seen Duncan in any lead role (short of The Green Mile), but in almost every film I've watched with him in it, he did a rip-roaring job as a supporting actor.

And there have been a shit-ton of movies.

He will be missed.  I've heard a rumor that he'd give $5 to anyone who he met on the street and got his name right.  I guess "Michael Duncan Clarke" rolls off the tongue better than "Michael Clarke Duncan"

I suppose he won't be in any Sin City sequels

I know Armageddon is not the best movie, but his character was named Bear and that's what I always thought of him as - a giant, cuddly bear. Even when he played villains. I've seen a lot of movies with him and I always enjoyed him as an actor, I was sad when I found out he died. :(
