Gentle-Giant Star Michael Clarke Duncan Dead at 54

Aw, just .... damn.

Played John Coffey in The Green Mile.

We'd been watching his TV show, "The Finder", this past spring.

Duncan died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was being treated for a heart attack ...

His portrayal of John Coffey in King's TGM was wonderful work in a wonderful movie. I know little of him aside from that, but I sure liked what I knew of him professionally.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

RIP Michael!
Sad indeed, cut down way to early.
