they exaggerated his height in that movie, in real life he's 6'4" but they made him 7'1" or 7'2" for the movie somehow.

he has awesome shapely arms, the triceps stick out laterally which adds alot to the illusion of big arms. Huge shoulders as well. Freak
He is the kinda guy that could never be small.

From IMDB:

"In actuality, Michael Clarke Duncan is of a similar height as his co-star David Morse and is a couple inches shorter than James Cromwell. Among other things, creative camera angles were used to create the illusion that Duncan as John Coffey towered over the prison staff, even Brutal Howell and Warden Moores."

Yes...at some points they had him walk on a 'runner'...almost what they use in fashion shows, only smaller

Never in my life, under any circumstances, would I ever describe any part of another guy's body as "shapely"

They are called apple crates what he is walking on.  He is about 6'5"  I had a friend (a girl) who used to train with him at the Redondo Beach Gold's Gym.  David Morse is a good size guy.  He is around 6'3".  But no matter what Duncan is HUGE in that movie.

Hanks is around 6'0". Morse is 6'4" and Duncan 6'5". Cromwell is 6'7".

Short guys always claim that taller guys are shorter. This is done to boost their own confidence.

 i watched a documentary about the movie and how it was made.. the ceil he was in was very tiny to add to the illusion of him having great size.. and like moose said, he walked on a runway above the other actors.. but, he is a big man when he is training..

Michael Clark Duncan has lost a lot of weight in the past couple years and he looks better than ever.  He hasn't had a big role in awhile though. Super nice and down to earth guy.

I wonder what Quiznos paid him for the voice overs in their commercials.
"Quiznos, love what you eat".
