Like any news of an untimely death, Michael Clarke Duncan's passing comes as a shock to everyone.

Michael Clarke Duncan only started acting in his 30's, but gave several unforgettable performances. You may remember him from movies like Armageddon, Talladega Nights, Planet of the Apes, and The Green Mile.

With his dominating 6 foot 4 presence and his welcoming smile, he was respected in Hollywood as intimidating at first, but mostly just a nice guy.

He was engaged to his fiancee, and reality TV personality, Rev. Omarosa Manigault.

In a statement released by publicist Joy Fehily, she said that Michael suffered from a mycardinal infraction on July 13th and never fully recovered.

Michael passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center while being treated for a heart attack.

He will definitely be missed by many, on the screen and even more off.

Rest in Peace, Michael.
