Some really sad news to report this morning: the actor Michael Clarke Duncan has died, at the age of 54.
He was best known for his Oscar-nominated turn in Frank Darabont's film of The Green Mile, but his body of work also included Armageddon (it always cracks us up when he joins in Leavin' On A Jet Plane), The Whole Nine Yards, Sin City, Daredevil and many more. His distinctive deep voice also earned him voiceover work, notably in Kung Fu Panda and more recently Green Lantern.
Michael Clarke Duncan had a heart attack in July, and had been recovering, before he went into cardiac arrest yesterday and died. It's a tragically early age to lose your life at, and our thoughts are very much with his family and friends at the moment.
Rest in peace, Mr Clarke Duncan. And many thanks, sir.
