曾以「綠色奇蹟」(The Green Mile)榮獲奧斯卡獎提名的黑人明星鄧肯(Michael Clarke Duncan)，3日在洛杉磯去世，得年54歲。好萊塢和體育界人士紛紛在推特上表達追念。和鄧肯共同演出「綠色奇蹟」的湯姆漢克斯(Tom Hanks)指出，他對痛失「大麥克」(Big Mike)感到悲傷莫名。湯姆漢克斯說，鄧肯是大家在「綠色奇蹟」片場發掘到的珍寶，他是如此神奇的一個人。美國職業籃球(NBA)達拉斯小牛隊(Dallas Mavericks)老板庫班(Mark Cuban)說，他無法相信失去了這位朋友，他會懷念和鄧肯在湖人對上小牛比賽時的打賭，並且永遠記得鄧肯。賽車手派屈克(Danica Patrick)則表示，他是在1年前和鄧肯認識的，鄧肯是個非常好的人，真是令人痛惜。 ESPN主持人威爾本(Michael Wilbon)表示，非常遺憾聽到鄧肯的死訊。電影評論家艾伯特(Roger Ebert)也在推特上推文，發布鄧肯去世的消息。

Duncan "passed away peacefully today," the manager, Dan Spilo, told AFP. "He was a great man with a huge heart, and it was an honor and a privilege to represent him."

Duncan's girlfriend Omarosa Manigault, one-time star of the reality television show "The Apprentice," asked for privacy through Duncan's publicist Joy Fehily.

The actor "suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered," Fehily said in a statement.
"Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date."

Born in Chicago on December 10, 1957, Duncan moved to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career. The imposing actor, who was 6'5" (1.96 meters), worked as a bodyguard for Will Smith and Jamie Foxx while securing smaller roles.

His breakthrough performance came when he was cast as convict John Coffey in "The Green Mile," a man wrongly accused of child murder and rape, who has supernatural powers. Tom Hanks co-starred as a prison guard.

Beyond his Oscar nomination, Duncan also earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nods.
Duncan acted in about 50 films. He was notably featured in "Armageddon," a role that was the stepping stone to his casting in "The Green Mile."
