Micheal Clarke Duncan is an Oscar Nominated actor who we have seen in Sin City, The Green Mile, Friday (briefly), Talladega Nights....etc.

Ving Rhames is a Golden Globe winner who we've seen in Pulp Fiction, Jacob's Ladder, The Mission Impossibles, etc...

Both are huge african american actors in their 50's.


who do you like better?

Michael Clarke Duncan is like a giant teddy bear.

Ving Rhames has more of a bad-arse/don't f*** with me look, but he can be funny sometimes (see I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry for an example ).

I like both, but I give the edge to Ving Rhames.

I dont think Ving Rhames is nearly as big (tall) as they make him look on screen.

I bet he's 5'7"

IMDB has Rhames listed as 6' and MCD as 6'5".
You have a good point, 'cause I thought Rhames was bigger than that.

Fan of both of these guys, but, I give Ving the edge for his speech in Pulp Fiction where you only see Bruce Willis' face and then the back of Rhames head.

Give the edge to Charley Varrick since that's the movie where Tarantino lifted the pair of pliers and a blowtorch line from.

There is no comparison in my opinion. I do like them both, but Ving Rhames wins this hands down.

Michael Clake Duncan.

Because if you recognize him in public and know his full name, he gives you 5 dollars. No joke. Google it

Different scene. I'm talking about the scene where Masellus Wallace is talking to Butch about taking the dive in his fight.

Does he kick your arse if you call him "Ving Rhames"?

I'm gonna go with MCD. I really liked his Kingpin in Daredevil. Then again, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on the planet that actually likes Daredevil.

No, the Daredevil movie was actually very true to the comic book. I liked it quite a bit. BTW, random thing I thought was cool, the opening credits, where the lights from the buildings spell the names in brail and then change to a alphabetic characters.
