Biography

Every character actor who has ever been typecast dreams of a role that will transcend the clichés of his or her image. For Michael Clarke Duncan, that breakout role also drew on the hidden truth of his own personality, and the results were spectacular.

Duncan’s big break came with a role alongside Bruce Willis in ARMAGEDDON. Bruce Willis later recommended Duncan to director Frank Darabont for THE GREEN MILE, a film for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as John Coffey. Duncan collaborated with Bruce Willis on three subsequent films: Alan Rudolph’s BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS, and the noir blockbuster SIN CITY. Other film credits include PLANET OF THE APES, THE SCORPION KING, TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE BALLAD OF RICKY BOBBY, DAREDEVIL, GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE 2, CATS & DOGS, THE SLAMMIN’ SALMON, and REDEMPTION ROAD.

His resonant baritone voice made him a popular choice for animated voice-overs in films including DINOTOPIA and KUNG-FU PANDA. His last television appearance was a recurring role on the crime series FINDER.

Loved this movie. I was so sad when it did not come out in theatures and took a risk buying it without seeing it first. Worth it! Watched it three times in the first week I got it.

I love this film never knew there was a Black female coach for Golf. And how she taught those least likely to be the best. When we count ourselves out others see the best in us and help bring it out. And when men feel women are not capable and yet able to get it done with little means awesome.

I was surprised that i enjoyed this movie. The underlying story was entertaining. I found it interesting that the strength of one person was able to overcome the administrative reputiation of a beneficial program.

Doing her ususal great job of acting, Taraji portrays the main character quiet well but I think the story could have provided a deep reveal of the characters. Great sports story as well. Congrats to TSU and the pioneering experience that so many AA have had to endure.

Great movie. Well written with great acting and story. It’s one of those jewels that people will miss because it didn’t make it to the big screen. It’s based on a true story about a golf coach from a small college in Tennessee. I highly recommend it as a great family movie.

I laughed, I cried. I have played 13 years of football, 5 years baseball, and I can totally identify with the movie. Cheers!
