Chicago, Illinois, USA:
Michael Clarke Duncan (* 10. Dezember 1957 in Chicago, Illinois; † 3. September 2012 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler. Sein erster großer Film war Armageddon – Das jüngste Gericht; während der Dreharbeiten im Jahr 1998 schloss er Freundschaft mit Bruce Willis. Dieser verhalf ihm später auch zu seiner bekanntesten Rolle als John Coffey in der Stephen-King-Verfilmung The Green Mile, die ihm unter anderem eine Oscar- und eine Golden-Globe-Nominierung in der Kategorie Bester Nebendarsteller einbrachte. An der Seite von Willis spielte er auch in den Filmen Keine halben Sachen, Sin City und Breakfast of Champions – Frühstück für Helden. Weitere bekannte Rollen waren die des Balthazar in The Scorpion King sowie eine Beteiligung in Planet der Affen und Die Insel. Außerdem lieh er Atlas im PlayStation-Spiel God of War II sowie einer Figur des Computerspiels Soldier of Fortune seine Stimme, ebenso wie Wade aus der Zukunft in der Kim-Possible-Folge A Sitch in Time. In der Comic-Verfilmung Daredevil von 2003 verkörpert Duncan den zwielichtigen Geschäftsmann Wilson Fisk, Spitzname Kingpin, der mit dicker Zigarre im Mund seinen Opfern eine rote Rose ansteckt, die er zu ermorden gedenkt. Neben seinen Rollen in Filmen hatte Duncan auch Gastauftritte in Serien, wie in der US-Krimiserie CSI: NY und in der Sitcom Two and a Half Men. In Bones – Die Knochenjägerin spielte er als Leo Knox in der sechsten Staffel im Backdoor-Pilot zum Spin-off The Finder mit, in dem er diese Rollen weiterführte. 2011 stand er neben Mischa Barton und Devon Sawa in Matt Orlandos Horrorfilm The Sibling vor der Kamera.
