That man had a voice like rocks through a crusher. I loved listening to him talk.

Damn shame, especially at 54.

With him gone, Tiny Lister going to jail, we're running out of large black men in Hollywood. Ving Rhames had better watch his back, as well as Terry Crews.

Major bummer. I loved his supporting role with Bruce Willis in the Whole Nine Yards...and of course his role in Talladega Nights.

Fair Winds and Following Seas, Mr. Duncan.

Some would say we're running out of black men period, but that's a topic for another discussion. RIP Mr. Duncan, you are missed.

+1. One of the few TV shows my wife and I would sit down to watch. Really enjoyed watching him.

Nice to meet you, I'm gonna go piss blood now.

I'm probably butchering that but I loved him in the while nine yards. Sad to see another great actor gone.

Yeah I read this earlier. It sucks. My favorite role he did was in the Green Mile. I thought he did great job of playing John Coffey. He pretty much nailed the character out of the book.

54 is a young age.

RIP MCD. He always seemed like a nice guy in addition to being a great actor.
