Iced Coffey

Michael Clarke Duncan, bodyguard turned actor, has died of complications from a heart attack at 54 rather than spend another minute engaged to Omarosa. The Chicago native was one of the first 100 fans on the field during the Disco Demolition Night riot of 1979, sliding into third base and stealing a bat from a dugout. Before his career took off, he dug ditches, bounced, and was a stripper with the stage name Black Caesar. He was also a fairly ineffective bodyguard as The Notoroious B.I.G. was killed on his watch. His big break was as Bear in Armageddon, which helped him land The Green Mile role of John Coffey, the healing manchild, which earned him an Academy Award nomination. He was a treacherous, but smiling, assassin in The Whole Nine Yards; like everyone else, wanted to kill Mark Wahlberg in Planet of the Apes; threw Ben Affleck around in Daredevil; and was the only black man in NASCAR in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
