R.I.P. Michael Clark Duncan.
never heard of Michael Duncan ...but RIP
Michael Clark Duncan in The Green Mile
I really liked his role as Lucius in Talladega Nights. When he confesses to Ricky Bobby that he dressed up as Donna Summers and sang, absolutely priceless.
"DON'T YOU PUT THAT EVIL ON ME, RICKY BOBBY!"
The knife scene is also classic!
A message from the Armstrong family:
"Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."

Sad. What's more amazing is many kids today have no clue who these people were. I was talking with my son and his girlfriend over the weekend, and they're both very much musically literate, but this era has really, truly passed. We all grew up watching and hearing these good people on the TV and Radio. Holidays were made up of their voices and shows. Alas, nobody younger than 35 knows who they are. It's always been hard for me to absorb people being the "talk of the town" and known by almost everyone on the planet, to some person that died in an internet news story. Must be hard on those that lived it. RIP. Good times.Andy Williams, whose corn-fed good looks, easygoing charm and smooth rendition of "Moon River" propelled him to the heights of music stardom in the early '60s, died Tuesday at his home in Branson, Mo., following a battle with bladder cancer, his family announced. He was 84, and 2012 had marked his 75th year in showbiz.
