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...

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.

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

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.
