Michael Clarke Duncan, who first broke onto the acting scene in the 1999 film The Green Mile, has passed away at the age of 54. The actor guest starred in Chuck‘s [easyazon-link asin=”B001GBLO3E”]second season premiere[/easyazon-link], memorably holding Chuck out a window by his feet. According to reports, he suffered a heart attack in July and never fully recovered.
R.I.P, Michael.
Such a shame; my thoughts & prayers go out to his family.
Rest in God’s Peace, big man.
Every Chuck fan needs to rewatch 2.01 he wasn’t in the episode very much but was memorable I love it when Sara started kicking his but after he dropped Chuck
Without a doubt, his role on “Chuck” is his second best appearance, imho, after “The Green Mile.”
Thanks for the fun and the memories, Michael.
I remember laughing when I saw it was Michael Clarke dangling Chuck. At least Chuck didn’t have to worry about getting dropped. Mr. Duncan was a really good example of the generally superb quality of “Chuck”‘s guest stars.
He was so good in The Green Mile.
Yes Michael Clarke Duncan was A Great actor. is was Great on Chuck. And the Green Mile. he will be missed. It’s Great that his first acting job. he got to work with Tom Hanks. wow. I don’t think many actors get to do that. but he did. WE will miss You Michael.
Actually my best memory of him was playing Bear in the movie Armageddon. I was amazed at just how big and strong he looked.
Rest in peace Bear.
I really enjoyed his work and he was certainly awesome on Chuck. RIP MCD.
Micheal was so convincing when he grabbed Sarah by the neck and threatened to kill her if Chuck didn’t sit down on their real “first date” at the Chinese restaurant . That was scary.
RIP Mr Duncan. 🙁
his best line in that episode was at the end when CHUCK comes and arrests him, and he says ” Your boss Carmichael, Damn he’s good. “
“I’m going for imposing”. Great line, great character, great episode, great season of a great show. I would rather have seen him in chains alongside Heather Chandler than Steve Austin, if they had to bring back a baddie for a 2nd tour.

Just finished watching S2E1 with Duncan. Awesome EP and Duncan was great. Had a lump on my throat seeing him. He’ll forever be a member of our Chuck family. 🙁
I would like to echo everyone’s feelings regarding the passing of Michael Clarke Duncan. He was truly a gifted & skilled actor. Also, with everything you read from those that worked with him & knew him best, it seems that he was a very kind & a very nice gentleman.
A True Gentle Giant. RIP MCD & thank you for the work you did on Chuck.
To many of us, season 2 was the best season of Chuck ever produced & your work contributed to the success of season 2, by getting the season off to a great start.
Thank you.
