Michael Clarke Duncan is relatively new to Hollywood and has to be the celebrity who most appreciates his new fame. After moving from Chicago's South Side to Hollywood in the early 90's, Michael eventually got a few minor film roles (usually as a bouncer or bodyguard, pretty much what he was doing in his day-jobs). Things started to change for Michael in 1997 & 1998, when he appeared in Bulworth and the cheese-fest, A Night at the Roxbury (as a bouncer in both films ... again), but these roles led to his being cast in Armageddon and eventually, The Green Mile. Michael's portrayal of John Coffey earned him Best Supporting Actor nominations from several major organizations, including: the Academy Awards; Academy of Science Fiction, Horror & Fantasy Films; Blockbuster Entertainment Awards; Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards; Chicago Film Critics Association Awards; Golden Globe Awards; Image Awards; MTV Movie Awards; Online Film Critics Society Awards; and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Michael considers it a gift to be recognized by fans. We say it's a gift to be the person doing the recognizing. Michael is easily one of the most exuberant actors around and one who truly appreciates his fame. It may be a cliche, but his smile really lights up a room. Michael can be heard in the summer hit Cats and Dogs with Tobey Maguire and is currently working on Planet of the Apes.
