One of the most distinguished actors that I've ever encountered.

Sad, sad news. He struck me to be a dignified gentleman who enjoyed life and [[in my opinion) probably deserved more of it. My prayers go out to his family and friends.
This is a shock. He was nominated for an Academy Award for the film "Green Mile". I did enjoy his work. Great actor. Rest in peace Michael.
I meant to comment on this earlier...I was very saddened by this lost and 54 is too damn young for such a talented and from all accounts that I've heard genuinely great guy to be
dying. I loved this cat's work and wanted a longer career and life for him. My thought remain with his friends and family. RIP, Michael...
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by this, but he started out as a bodyguard for guys like Jay-Z. He was a little bit of a late bloomer as an actor, but he sure caught on fast, and I enjoyed what I saw of his work. RIP, Michael, and thank you... :[[
Best,
Mark
By "guys like Jay Z" you must mean rappers, I guess but if I rememberQuote:
