(USA TODAY) - "The Green Mile" actor Michael Clarke Duncan, 54, is in the intensive care unit of a Los Angeles hospital after going into cardiac arrest.

According to TMZ, Duncan's girlfriend Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth discovered he had gone into arrest just before 2 a.m.

The former Apprentice star immediately called 911 and performed CPR while she waited for paramedics to arrive.

She was able to resuscitate him, and he was taken to a local hospital. HLN's Showbiz Tonight reports he's in stable condition.

Publicist Joy Fehily says in a brief statement to AP that the actor "suffered a myocardial infarction" - or heart attack. She says his heart rate has stabilized and he's expected to make a full recovery.
