Michael Clarke Duncan, best known for his role as John in The Green Mile and currently Leo Knox on the Fox television series The Finder, has recorded a PSA for vegetarianism for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Duncan was plagued with several health problems before going vegetarian and recalls it was a birthday approximately three years ago that prompted him to change. That change included switching to plant-based proteins like beans and tofu and giving away all his Omaha steaks, fish and chicken entrees to the neighbors.

We hope he tries to give them samples of seitan every now and then too.

Wolfe is starring in a PSA for Last Chance for Animals’ Adopt, Don’t Shop! campaign.
