BoBo - Michael Clarke Duncan

Known for his loyalty to Walter Lee Younger, Bobo's lack of intelligence seem to be known throughout the play. As a business partner to Walter, Bobo's inarticulate mind is the reason why the liquor store will never become a success. Though his kindness and hopefulness is a positive characteristic for his personality, it is obvious throughout the story, his brain is as small as a nut in terms of describing his persona.
Though very high in stature for his character as Bobo, Michael Clarke Duncan plays an excellent role for Bobo just for the sake of his height and the way he portrays himself in many of his movies particularly, "The Green Mile". In my opinion, Duncan is more than just a big body, his kindhearted personality says a lot about him. Playing as John Coffey in the The Green Mile is what struck him as Bobo in my opinion.
