Few actors have the screen presence that Michael Clarke Duncan projected. Although he was taken from us too early, his performances live on as signifiers of his immense talent, which he utilized in roles on both the big and small screens.
Throughout his storied career, Clarke Duncan showed a range that most actors could only hope to match, and along the way gave us plenty of great memories. If you’re a fan of the actor and want to know more of his hits, then check out our list of the 10 best Michael Clarke Duncan movies, ranked!
10. Planet of the Apes
While Tim Burton’s take on this famous franchise isn’t exactly the best in the series, Clarke Duncan’s performance remains a high point. He took on the role of the murderous Colonel Attar, an ape who attempts to capture the humans who are working as slaves on the titular planet, and he exudes menace in his scenes. Burton gives us a visual feast to make up for the lacklustre story elements, but overall unless you’re a huge Clarke Duncan fan or going through all of the Planet of the Apes films, then you won’t be missing out on too much by not watching.

9. Kung Fu Panda
Although his character only had limited screen time in this brilliant animated comedy, Clarke Duncan did an excellent job in the role of Commander Vachir. The cocky, aggressive Javan rhinoceros/prison warden is making sure that the villain snow-leopard Tai Lung (Ian McShane) doesn’t escape, but doesn’t do the best job, unlike the actor who voices him. A wonderful watch that uses all of star Jack Black’s considerable charm.
