Man, I loved him in The Green Mile, as well as other movies I know I've probably seen him in. I'll miss him.

An actor who faltered in the last five or six years, but I always loved his performances even if the films he was in were less than entertaining or quality to me. A real sad shame he went out when he was in the middle of a few projects, too.

RIP. Not only was he a good actor, he was one of those guys that stuck with it after years of not being as successful at acting as he wanted to be.

Surprised to hear this. I didn't think he was that old.

Surprised to hear this. I didn't think he was that old.

He didn't start acting until his 30's. He gave up being a a successful bodyguard to take a shot at acting.

I actually remember him more from Talladega Nights. I'll remove a knife from my leg by prying it out with another knife in his honor.

I remember him from School for Scoundrels. The movie was bad, but it was entertaining.
