Michael Clarke Duncan - Michael Clarke Duncan Was Set For 'The Finder' Comeback

Continuing, he added "We put all that on hold when he had his heart attack in July, but we were hoping he'd be back...We're just now coming to grips with the idea that Mcd is gone. I sure hope we can think of something that would do him proud." The death of Duncan has stunned Hollywood; though he only came to acting in his 30s, the gigantic star had become one of the most likable and respected in the business, following his incredible turn in 1999's Green Mile opposite Tom Hanks.

"He was a huge presence, and I believe he was destined to be a big TV star" commented Hanson on his move to the small screen in recent years. "A lot of actors are nothing like what you see, but Mcd was very much like what you see onscreen: that big smile, that big voice, not a bit of a bully to him. He doesn't alpha-male anybody, though he could alpha-male anyone he wanted. He was just a genuinely good guy."
