Michael Clarke Duncan Stars As 'Slammin' Salmon' In New Movie

Actor Michael Clarke Duncan topped by the studio to talk about his new comedic film Broken Lizard's The Slammin' Salmon.

The Slammin’ Salmon centers on a restaurant whose former heavyweight champion owner, Cleon "Slammin''" Salmon (Duncan) sets his waitstaff against each other in a competition to see who can win the most tips, with the winner taking home a cash prize and the lowest earner winning a beatdown from the champ.

Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, Duncan is best known for his breakout role as John Coffey in The Green Mile , which he was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. Duncan also gained attention when he appeared as one of a group of oil drillers sent to stop an asteroid from annihilating the Earth in the 1998 blockbuster Armageddon.

The Slammin’ Salmon hits theatres on Friday, December 11. For more information, visit www.brokenlizard.com.
