I will miss seeing Michael Duncan Clark on the big screen. Not only was he a wonderful actor but he felt like a old friend.  His latest venture "The Finder" was some of his best work. He played a smart and funny ex-lawyer, who had a heart of gold and a lot of mistakes to make up for. I thought he played this person with the greatest humility.  Goodbye old friend, may your journey into the next  life be smooth.

Michael Clarke Duncan was a kind and gentle giant among men. His personality on and off camera was that of a caring concerned person.

He and his personality is and will be sorely missed.

RIP and may God Bless you.

I will miss his talent. He was so believable in his roles. We lost a gift.
