    Wow, terrible news,loved his voice in all the video games and cartoons:(
    He seemed like he was in superb shape physically. Maybe he had a family history of heart disease....I doubt he was using steroids or anything like that.

    RIP.

    He was amazing -obviously- on the Green Mile and hilarious on the Whole Nine Yards


    but I became a fan of his after watching his appearances on Craig Ferguson. Those two had great banters and you couldn't help but see him as that gentle giant kinda guy (I mean, he had a legit fetish for kittens and animals....)

    RIP big guy.

    This was a huge dude, but seemed like he was in pretty good shape for his size. How in the world did he get a heart attack??

    Truly sad to hear. The guy had one of the strongest and most identifiable voices in Hollywood.

    "how"? :confused: Well, I could just send you to the Wikipedia page that explains how that happens... but... well, let's not talk about that and just remember The Man. :eek:

    I'm confused as to whether this guy was a workout-a-holic or he was just naturally a very big guy by primarily genetics. I figure it was a combination of both. He was a big, muscular guy...correct? I don't think fat made up most of his bulk...did it? I never saw the dude with his shirt off so I dunno.

    But, you can be muscular and work out a lot. He could still have eaten an unhealthy diet and/or genetics was a factor in his heart attack. We all know just because a guy is healthy doesn't mean they cannot have a heart attack. He was a big guy and certainly that didn't help from a risk factor perspective. Anyone can have a heart attack regardless.

    But, it's very sad to see him go. I would think he deserved to live a longer life than just 54 years old....just like Sage Stallone probably deserved to live longer than 36 years old but also died of a heart attack due to clogged arteries.
