Vegetarian
He recently became a vegetarian because of health issues, and his compassion for animals, and did a Peta ad. Can someone ad this please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alively118 (talk • contribs) 21:23, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
- I didn't put it on the article because I didn't find any spot I believed would be best, but I categorized the article as Category:American vegetarians and if someone wants to include this info somewhere here is this link at Peta. ZackTheJack (talk) 00:05, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Photos needed
We need at least 1 photo of Michael Duncan. And additional photo of young Michael would be fine.Armatura 08:56, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Why not use the one of him on The Kingpin page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by E-flah (talk • contribs)
- That's pretty good idea!! Thanks! Armatura 22:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- It's been a while, and still no picture unfortunately. Shall we add the picture from The Kingpin page? nilicule (talk) 01:59, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Someone Fix this
There are two god of war references in the one section, someone needs to put it into one. Im not to familiar with wikipedia, so can someone else edit this?
- And plz someone remove from Filmography the Fifth Element, the president there is played by Tom Lister, Jr., not Mike Armatura 20:11, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Two and half men is not a show on HBO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.134.163.147 (talk) 18:38, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Someone need to add "The Finder - Leo Knox" TV series to 'Career' after the "Bones - Leo Knox" guest appearance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.23.185.248 (talk) 14:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Can we change the sentence "Wilson Fisk is, by appearance, an overweight corporate head that takes the name Kingpin, but in fact he is the sole person running organized crime." to "At first glance, Wilson Fisk appears to be an overweight corporate head nicknamed Kingpin, while in fact he is the sole person running organized crime." The current sentence contains errors of grammar and is difficult to follow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.85.225.106 (talk) 22:17, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Done I believe all of these have been fixed now. BollyJeff || talk 02:17, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Striptease
i saw this movie and i swear he was the bouncer from it and it isn't mentioned on that page. could someone check IMBD to see if he was in it and correct his Filmography
Ving Rhames played "Shad" in striptease, not Michael Clark Duncan.
Fight
I wish he was cast in a movie where him and Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr. had to fight each other, I wouldn't care if it was the shitest movie in the world, as long as they had a proper fight I would pay to see it. TeePee-20.7 14:41, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Didn't he recently get married? Shouldn't that be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.10.199.134 (talk) 07:53, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Filmography
Michael Clark Duncan also had a small role in The Dark Knight (2008) as one of the prisoners on one of the two boats that were blown up at the end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghana4life (talk • contribs) 04:30, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Wasn't he in Con-Air? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.84.192.189 (talk) 01:27, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
This section states that Michael Clarke Duncan played the role of Fluisa in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999), which is incorrect. It was actually actor Big Boy who played the part.
Best known for?
Is it fair to say what movie he is "best known for" in the opening paragraph? Having that in an encyclopedia is stating that this is what he is best known for, for everyone. Which certainly isn't the case. I know him best from his role in Armageddon. Likes2Learn (talk) 17:05, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
No it is not fair, especially since his best known role is not either of the proposed movies, nor planet of the apes. His best known role is in fact "primary bouncer" in the 1996 music video of R.Kelly featuring Ronald Isley - "Down Low (Nobody Has to Know)." In this 1996 music video, Michael Duncan is clearly the primary bouncer who gives R. Kelly the beating of his life and can clearly be identified in the video clip found on youtube at approximately 3:26 at the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXdu3pwT4ps In the event this is not deemed to be his "best known for" appearance, it should certainly be his "first appearance on a national level" or better yet his "National Coming Out Party" or NCOP for short. Excuse my prose. -Jesus —Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.5.49.94 (talk) 08:12, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
6'5 or 7
Which is his true height? In the move Green Mile, his character is described as 7ft. GoodDay (talk) 16:14, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- The Green Mile is a movie. His actual height is different. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.38.205.7 (talk) 18:54, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Discovery
In Michael Bay's directorial audio commentary of the movie 'The Island,' he claims to have discovered Michael Clarke Duncan at a gym. This fact needs to be included. It is quite a jump from bit parts to a supporting/starring role. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.23.212.226 (talk) 01:49, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth
Michael is on the Opie & Anthony radio program this morning and he's confirmed that he's dating reality TV star Omarosa (from The Apprentice), who went to the studio with him and appeared on-air during the interview. Sadistik (talk) 12:32, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- If that ever becomes the subject of substantial coverage in independent reliable sources, we might have something to discuss. For the moment, though, this is trivial. - SummerPhD (talk) 13:00, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Correction
The article is locked (and for good reason), but his date of death is in 2012, not 2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.139.239.167 (talk) 21:41, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
