He used to give $5 to anyone who approached him & got his name the right way around.
RIP Michael.

Fantastic actor, RIP. When you think about it his heart had a lot of area to pump to. Sad to see him go.

He wasnt in Pulp Fiction mate. That was Ving Rhames playing Marsellus Wallace.

He was AWESOME in The Green Mile. One of my favourite Stephen King books too...

He would have been awesome in Pulp Fiction.

My favourite actor since I was a child. Was shattered to hear about this at work today.

Will be watching Armageddon and the Whole Nine Yards (and the Whole Ten if I get time) in memory.

RIP big man. He's bench pressing angels now.

Four films? Huh?

He was one of the very few good things about Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes remake.

RIP big bloke.

The man with that magnificent voice that was that deep it made James Earl Jones sound like a choirboy soprano...:lol

Many stars who have been heavy users of steroids or growth hormone end up with heart problems. Schwarzenegger had bypass surgery at 53.

I still have the news clipping from 87-88 where arnie admitted to taking steroids, out of the courier mail..so i am not surprised....the thing is up to today, so many guys at my gym are on them....

Not many guys take them to the level of professional body builders. Mild steroid use especially when ageing is proven to enhance the users lives. Occasionally people just take it to the extreme, sometimes with unfortunate consequences.
