        I'm heartbroken...he was one actor that couldn't hide his gentle soul even in his toughest tough guy roles. I really liked him as an actor. RIP Mr. Duncan and sincere condolences to Omarosa, his family and friends.

        He stole the show from Hanks in The Green Mile, that is for sure. Because he was being, not acting, really solidly there and was the anchor to each scene he was in. Loved him! Love him still.

        I will miss Michael's gentle way of "getting his point across" on Finder. If he was in a movie or on TV, it was a must see! I have been wondering since they took him out of ICU weeks ago what was happening as the media is everywhere and was hoping no news was good news. May Michael rest in peace and know how much we appreciated him! My condolences to his family and friends.
