" He kill them wi' their love. Wi' their love fo' each other. That's how it is, every day, all over the world."
                                                          -from The Green Mile

 You know guys.. I am very much privileged to wish him a happy birthday.. Because,he was so fucking awesome. Just one movie.. One movie 'The Green Mile' is enough to show what he has.. Pure talent.. I dont know how many of you have seen the movie.. Those who have seen knows what I really meant.. It was this man, the soul of the movie.. His extraordinary acting talent played the most important role in what the movie had done..

Michael Clarke Duncan was born in December 10, 1957 in Chicago, Illianos. He got his breakthrough through the role of John Coffey (yeah, like the drink, only not spelt the same) in the movie The Green Mile for which he was nominated for an Academy Award and Golden Globe and won Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films,USA Award; Black Reels Award, Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for the same.
