This is not a screen test, this is an Oscar performance. The more i see of Michael Clarke Duncan the more a love what a great human being he was.

the final cut where he gets electrocuted made me cry.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I've seldom seen such heart in film as it was brought by Michael Clark Duncan and Tom Hanks. Really, the whole cast was marvelous. But Michael....Wow. He was a natural and seemed like a good man. RIP, sir.

You can see the sadness of the world in his eyes...

How tragic this wonderful actor was taken away from us so soon. So much pathos, so much raw emotion, he should have won the Oscar. Michael Caine, the winner that year acknowledged the performance of this wonderful actor. Also, credit to Tom Hanks, who always reads through lines with his colleagues on set, and clearly on these two scenes, was acting his lines. Another class act. R.I.P big Mike.

I don’t understand how can anyone dislike this video? The casting for every character in this movie was spot on.

One of the best screen test that I've ever seen. There are many screen test that are so horrible and brief that you wonder how the actor got the role. You can see immediately why Michael Clarke Duncan got the role, he brought so much heart to it and truly deserved it. The true gentle giant of hollywood, a big man with a big heart that was taken from us far too soon.

This is a Magnificent Movie and IMO the best movie role that Michael Clarke Duncan did. He died too early. R.I.P Michael

Michael Clark Duncan was taken too early from us. He was an amazing man...

Rest in peace Michael Clarke Duncan ~ John Coffey

Gah goosebumps ... screen test ? wouldn't be surprised if they actually used these for the movie . Gah that first clip got me goosebumps and nearly crying .

Makes me cry every time, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other.

NO ONE else could have been John Coffey. How he didn't win an Oscar is a fucking mystery...

The scene when he died left me torn for weeks on end, beautiful movie.

Made me cry

Tell me HOW he did NOT win an Oscar ? Please tell me ???

Trek001 very true! The awards season especially the year this movie was nominated really showed the world the ugly racism in Hollywood!?! He should have won the award for this movie. He along with the rest of the casting was not only spot on in this movie but all their performances especially Mike’s was outstanding!

ikr? Honestly, as much as i hate it. i think the academy when they don't who to choose, if the BSAor Best Actor race is that close, they'll go for the veteran actor. it's happened so many times. that year MCD & Osment both should've won that Oscar in a tie, two excellent performances. they gave it to Michael Caine that year. As much as I love MCD & HJO (in TSS), that was their most iconic role and performance, it really should've been a tie but the Oscars do that alot. I remember years back, the BSA race was thought to be between Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond) & Eddie Murphy (Dreamgirls), and they gave it to Alan Arkin for Little Miss Sunshine. And in 92, most remember the Best Actor race that year, some thought it would be Denzel (Malcolm X) & some thought RDJ (Chaplin), and they gave it to Pacino for Scent of a Woman, while Pacino was good in that, alot of people saw that as an award for the ones he should have won for like Godfather, Serpico, Scarface, Dog Day Afternoon etc. And that was a viewed as an upset because most thought it between DW & RDJ. They do that alot, it's a shame too because while I love actors like Arkin, Pacino & Caine and while those were great performances, those six are among many that most feel got robbed of an Oscar win. Look at how long people were talking about guys like Pacino & Dicaprio not getting one for years despite many great performances. That's one reason why some don't like the Oscars lol. Gary Oldman finally won an Oscar last year.

He didn’t need any Oscars, his talent is above that nonsense!

You don't need a score to feel like crying. I saw this screen test and I'm balling right now. That's the power and dedication this man had for this role of John Coffey. R.I.P John Coffey and R.I.P Michael Duncan. And rest in peace to all those souls who came to shine the light into this dark world. I may not know you all, but our tears shed whenever you leave.❤

and that my friends, is how to get, the role!

Amazing ....how did he not win an Oscar for this ? RIP ❤

Green Mile is up there with the Champ for making everyone cry

And this is just a screen test? I started to get emotional in the beginning but once John [Michael] started talking about the dream he had I started to cry. ); R.I.P Michael, you left way too soon. You were a gentle giant and a wonderful human being.

R.I.P he was a very good actor

Rest in power, rest in peace.

Holy smokes! Riveting talent!

Magnificent actor.

Fantastic performance, he was a natural of the screen testing. He should have won the oscar for best supporting actor.

And that kids is how to act!

Can’t watch this without cry

Michael was so successful in this scene test that you can almost feel what he was saying.

he got nominated, he didn't win.......he should have

wow just .....wow

Im choking back tears

great actor

Got half way through and had to have a break. What a loss 🙏

One thing he's got right in this movie, Micheal Clarke Duncan, that every day at least, little girls and boys all over the world and being hurt or killed for their trust in a monster.

Michael Clarke Duncan should have won an Oscar for his performance in The Green Mile. No doubt.

💪🏿💖💪🏿Big Mike💪🏿💖💪🏿 Rest Well 🎂 2020

RIP

Team Jesus always and forever. Rest easy, Mr. Duncan 💙💙💙

-sunmask- Tom always does the screen tests with the other actors who are tested for the roles in his movies. There’s tons of videos on here with Tom doing screen tests with other people who are trying out for roles in any of the movies he’s doing.
