Yes, I heard this on the radio and didn't recognise the name straight away, until they listed some of his films. RIP :(

I loved him in The Green Mile.

It's hard to believe just how many people have died recently.
Michael is the latest, but there is also:
Max Bygraves 31 Aug 2012
Chris Lighty 30 Aug 2012
Neil Armstrong 25 Aug 2012
Jerry Nelson 24 Aug 2012
Phyllis Diller 20 Aug 2012

I have an image in my head of him bouncing around singing Leaving on a Jet Plane from Armageddon . Very funny

He was fabulous as John Coffey in Green Mile.

Sad loss.

Sad loss.

I read the book long before the movie and I couldn't imagine a more perfect actor for the role.

RIP
Hadn't recognized the name, but when somebody mentioned The Green Mile I instantly remembered. Very sad.
