Shaq revealed he turned down the Michael Clarke Duncan's role in 'The Green Mile.'
And, Shaq says he was initially tabbed to play the part before Clarke Duncan, but says he"turned it down."
"I didn't want to play the down-South African American guy during slavery," Shaq explained."I didn't want to play that role." Shaq, who was still with the Lakers in '99, added he has no regrets over it all -- especially considering Duncan shined in the part. "The guy who played it did a wonderful job," Shaq says,"He's no longer with us, he passed away. Michael Clarke Duncan did an excellent job.""I think I made the right decision because he did way better than I could have done," Shaq said."But, I got offered that role."
