    RIP, great actor and probably a great guy. Must be bad for his wife who tried to perform CPR too.

    Edit: Still have Green Mile on the 'Favourite DVD' shelf <ok>

    RIP Bear.

    Green Mile is a very good film. It is the only film adaptation that is better than the book it's based on. IMO

    It is a great film and you'll have no trouble finding it if you've got Sky, it's on almost every week.

    Agreed. The Green Mile is in the same class as the ShawShank Redemption and should be a compulsory watch in schools. imo

    But his performance as BEAR in Armageddon was also class. R.I.P. Bear

    He received three awards and nine nominations for the Green Mile and that included an Oscar nomination. Apparently a gentle giant in real life. R.I.P.

    As it's an 18 certificate I can't see that idea taking off.

    Brilliant acting in this scene. One of Tom Hanks' finest performances imo but MCD's role as John Coffey certainly helps that.

    The new prison guard in that movie really is a nasty little ****. Rarely have a hated a character more.
