Just got a news test about this. Wow... tragic news. He was a great actor and SOOOOOOOOOO big! Hard to believe he wasn't a football player in his younger days.

Edit: Removed misquoted line.

Just watched "Talladega Nights" last night. Rest in peace, Lucius Washington.

Favorite line from him:
"I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' niggers, who'll go to work on Holmes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch.
You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy?!"


That was another actor. Can't think of his name right now.

Edit: Ving Rhames

My bad, my bad....:oops: :oops: Not the first time I've gotten the two of them mixed up. Absolutely loved his character in The Green Mile. The way they shot all of his scenes to make him seem even bigger than he actually is was awesome.

RIP John Coffey (he was perfect for that role)

Didn't know his fiance was that Omarosa person from The Apprentice.

Yeah, I loved that movie. I can definitely see how you could mix those two up though.

That's sad. I saw him on a talk show not too long ago and he mentioned his hospitalization for his heart attack and how he almost died He said he was working on a healthier lifestyle. Reminders that life is short and you just never know.

Ladies, show of posts here please.
Didn't Mr Duncan have the most deliciously deep voice? :D :D
I loved every episode he was in on Two And A Half Men.
Sad indeed. :(

An example of how sweet and humble a guy he was.

I disagree. It would be like confusing Yul Brynner for Telly Savalas. Not going to happen. Not on my watch. :lol:

:lol: :lol: I still confuse Kim Basinger with Michelle Pfeiffer.

Telly Savalas..... :lol: "Who loves ya baby?!" :lol: :lol: Yul was a great, great actor!. My favorite role of his was the sheriff in West World. Saw it at the theater when I was like 9 or 10 with my dad. It was playing with Soilent Green. :shock: :lol:
