Family and friends of Michael Clarke Duncan gathered Monday for a private funeral service for the actor, who passed away last week at age 54.

The private ceremony -- which included remarks by Duncan's Green Mile co-star Tom Hanks and the film's director Frank Darabont -- followed a public viewing on Sunday of his casket at Forest Lawn cemetery's Hall of Liberty in Los Angeles.
