Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

[on Vihreä maili (1999)] I think the toughest scene for me to film was the two dead girls, simply because I had a lot of crying to do, a lot of howling to do, and it really drained me. See more »

Trivia:

His Daredevil character, Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, first appeared as an enemy of Spiderman until Frank Miller made him a major enemy of Daredevil. Duncan has played him opposite both characters, on the animated series Hämähäkkimies (2003) and in Daredevil (2003). See more »
