Ving was golden as Don King. He channeled the slime of King.

I love Duncan in The Green Mile but nothing since sticks out.

Ving just because he has been in more quality flicka shows.

The Talladega Nights scenes from the hospital, including the "donna summer" outtake are classic! Edge to MCD based solely on that!

Yeah. That was his first movie. He only had a couple scenes. Watch the scene when Debo knocks the F out of Red and you will see him rolling dice.

Clarke Duncan was Notorious BIG's body guard but when Biggie got shot Clarke Duncan decided to concentrate on acting.

I'm more of a Ving Rhames fan.

Years ago Michael Clarke Duncan did an interview with Vibe magazine, and mentioned being approached by a sexy French woman who was hitting on him but spoke no English. The only thing he could understand was that she kept calling him Ving Rhames, so eventually he was like, "Yeah, I'm Ving Rhames, baby."

I can't help but remember his story every time I see him in a role

Ving takes the cake with Pulp Fiction, Rosewood and Baby Boy. But the role that takes the cake was absolutely him as the lead of HBO's Don King: Only in America, which got him a Golden Globe.
