RIP - Oh gentle giant!

Author : mahesh      Blog :memories      Date: 9/4/2012 11:50:00 AM






When the cryptic TOI headline screamed Michael Clarke dies - I was wondering what happended to the Oz captain?

Then to my shock I realized the gentle giant Mike who portrayed an Oscar-worthy role of the prisoner with magical powers in The Green Mile had died of a myocardial arrest!

Son of a single-mother who quit college to help his ailing mother and struggled as a bouncer and bodyguard before landing small roles; wowed everyone as John Coffey in The Green Mile. Tom Hanks was simply over-shadowed!

Other roles include Armageddon, Sin City, The Whole Nine Yards and voice-work in animation movies like Kung fu Panda.

Somehow he never got roles that would showcase his talents; a hulk of a man he would end up playing secret-agent second-fiddle roles or gang-member kind of roles.

RIP - oh gentle giant!
