I was sad to hear that Michael Clarke Duncan passed away at age 54. He’s best known for The Green Mile, but nerds will remember him for playing Kingpin in Daredevil and voicing Kilowog in Green Lantern. In both those cases, he was one of the few great parts of otherwise bad movies. While many moviegoers enjoyed his performances as a gentle giant or a menacing brute, he was lots of fun in comedic roles too. I loved him in Talladega Nights and The Whole Nine Yards. Most will remember his moving performance in The Green Mile, but I’ll remember him for cracking me up in comedies.
What are some of your favorite Michael Clarke Duncan performances?

Another Talladega nights gem. I love this scene, because he isn’t acting. Just a genuinely sweet dude.
