"He killed them with their love; that is how it is all over the world". Phenomenal performance by Michael Clarke Duncan, no one could have done a better job. Thank you so much Michael for sharing your talent and entertaining all of us; you were taken from us too soon. I hope and pray you are peace with God almighty. You will never be forgotten. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.
This man wrote The Blob Directed Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Majestic and The Mist. He is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time! Period.
It's surprising that Duncan needed an acting coach on the set, considering how powerful his performance became. I assume that Darabont was more impressed by Duncan's personality than by whatever his initial audition was. Darabont went with his gut, rolled the dice, took the risk, cast an inexperienced actor in a big part -- and it worked tremendously well. Duncan was a hell of a talent, gone much too soon.
he had only been in a couple of things before that and pretty minor roles. probably his biggest role before that was arageddon, and that wasnt a hugely emotional role.
What do Morgan Freeman and Michael Clarke Duncan have in common? Two things: They're both African American actors and they've both been directed by Frank to Oscar nominations.
anyone else in that movie you probably could have replaced with another good actor and it would still be a good movie, but its hard to anyone but Michael Clarke Ducan could have played that role. The Green Mile is up there with some of the best movies ever and alot of that is because of Michael Clarke Ducan
I didnt see that interview, but from what Darabont said here it is easy to see that Michael's first audition didn't go too well. I'm so glad Darabont stuck with Michael though because Michael "made" that movie. Not taking anything from any of the other actors, but without Michael, it would have fallen well shorter.
Michael Clarke Ducan as John Coffey was absolutely perfect casting no one else could of played that role the way he did, RIP Michael.
Nominated - he should have swept the award spectrum .. he was absolutely amazing

I total agree allways remember The part when he say boss im tired boss 😢😢😢❤only him make that movie so special
1:52 "He had all the tools and then some" reminds me of Andy's line "and whatever mistakes I made I've paid for and then some"
i am genuinely sad he has passed away :( The green mile used to be my favorite film
We will miss you buddy.
What a great guy.
When I first heard I thought it was some kind of twisted joke. The man was great actor and I really wanted to see him in more film. R.I.P
La ligne verte est un très bon film et Michael Clarke Duncan a été pour beaucoup pour le succès du film
He continues in heaven with the other dead actors like Michael jeter, Sage Stallone, Heath ledger etc. Even Mr Jingles
❤️❤️❤️
I'm gonna miss Michael Clarke Duncan.
Aww Michael.
I cant imagine another human being on the planet pulling it off better than Michael Clark Duncan, he is John Coffey. RIP.
The Green Mile makes me cry every time and now it'll be sad to watch it :/

An unassuming giant of a man.

Shit, 6 days before a tragedy
What a shame
In an interview with Empire, Darabont said that MCD's first audition wasn't good at all.
