Willis, an established Hollywood heavyweight, and Duncan, a rising star with a magnetic screen presence, were thrown together by their roles in the movie.
They found themselves in the middle of the intense action sequences, apocalyptic undertones, and pervasive tension that became synonymous with the movie.
Willis portrayed a gentle giant who left a lasting impression on all who knew him in his eulogy. Michael left us too young, but the speaker added that his legacy endures in the roles he played, the people he touched, and the hearts he warmed. A friend was lost, but an angel was found.
Michael Clarke Duncan’s spectacular career and the amazing person behind the on-screen personas are powerfully brought to memory by Bruce Willis’ touching homage to Duncan. Duncan was a gentle giant, an exceptional genius, and a friend who will always be remembered. His friendship with Willis, rooted in respect and regard for one another, perfectly embodies this.
