LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Michael Clarke Duncan, the hulking, prolific character actor whose dozens of films included an Oscar-nominated performance as a death row inmate in "The Green Mile" and such other box office hits as "Armageddon," "Planet of the Apes" and "Kung Fu Panda," is dead at age 54.

Clarke died Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was being treated for a heart attack, said his fiancée and former "Apprentice" contestant, Reverend Omarosa Manigault, in a statement released by publicist Joy Fehily.

So young and working regularly. It was a surprise to read that reality star Omarosa, his fiancee, saved him when he was having a heart attack, and then disheartening that he was in the hospital for so long afterwards, but I still didn't think he was going to die. I've always liked his work and he seemed like a good man. Very sad news.

How sad as others have said far to young.
