Due SOLEY to his part IMO.

I concur. If Duncan's portrayal of Coffey hadn't been spot on the film wouldn't have worked, or at least nowhere near as well as it does. But then, as has previously been stated, Duncan's performances made every production he appeared in that much better.

When I didn't read any follow-up progress reports after reading about Duncan's heart attack two months ago, I had a feeling he wasn't going to survive. It's a shame he died so young.

Ya. Clearly far more serious than we first thought.

Since we hadn't heard anything I thought the opposite to be honest. This was a shock.

One of my favorite actors....

What is it with the world at the moment? So many of the great and good seem to be leaving it. His performance as the gentle but cursed giant in "The Green Mile" never fails to move me when I've watch it. Such a likeable guy off screen as well. Damn, this is such bad and sad news. Micheal, I wish I could take it back for you.

So, uh, he won't be reprising the role of Kingpin in Daredevil 2, I take it?

I find this to do be a db comment. R.I.P. .

I wish we had a real John Coffey to bring him back.

Gods, i'm so sad to hear this, was watching him in The Finder last night thinking what a charismatic guy he is......

R.I.P John Coffey..

 

[Apollo]

Damn! Very sad news

 

[Dave Porter]

Will be missed.

As has been said already, loved him in The Finder also.

 

[YenChih Lin]

Oh no! I liked him as an actor

 

[Wolvster1]

A damn shame to go so young ! :cry

I had hopes, some high hopes that they would cast
him in the next AVENGERS as THANOS !

Anyone familiar with the character from the comics
knows he would have been a PERFECT fit for the role.

He had the physical presence, not too mention a voice that
would NOT need to be dubbed over !


Such a loss...

He's one of those actors it really would have been a joy to meet. He seemed like the very definition of "gentle giant", with a ready smile and a friend to everyone he met. He was just a genuinely good person, and that's kind of rare in Hollywood these days.

I will miss him. The world was a better place with him in it.

 

[Wes R]

The news did a piece on him and Armageddon was his first film and the director of Green mile said he was one of the gentlest souls you'd meet.

They're getting out before it all ends in December.

Yesterday I saw The Green Mile again, and the last quote of John Coffey really gets to me :cry

"He killed them with their love. That's how it is; everyday all over the world."

Can't say it any better than that! I completely agree.

Definitely will be missed.
