I'm in the minority in thinking that he was a fine choice to be the Kingpin. The script was what did him in.

He was great with Craig Ferguson, he was great in comedy and action and drama and came off as incredibly likable in all his roles.

I also thought he was a interesting choice for Kingpin (he had nothing to do with that film's failure), and I loved him in Slammin' Salmon. I still remembered when Shane McMahon punked him out at Wrestlemania and wondered if that was a legit reaction or Duncan being "in the know".
I also loved him and Craig Ferguson in Scotland, especially when they went to Craig's old grade school. This is sad I'm gonna watch those clips now. | AWArulz

Sad to hear.

I had already forgotten he was in bad shape, assuming he was on hsi way to full recovery.
I remember seeing him in the Green Mile and being thoroughly impressed by his amazing performance.
I went to see that movie with a bunch of coworkers who thought it was 'an okay movie' while I was wiping the tears from my face.
Another great memory is his role in Talladega nights,
as Ricky Bobby's boss. The scene where RB stabs himself and how they deal with it..hilarious.

I thought he was a bit to "nice" for Kingpin. Wasn't a huge deal breaker for me that he was black because he had the size. He just had too kind a presence to play a villain. | ekedolphin
