Morgan Freeman is an American actor, film director, and narrator. I really like Morgan Freeman’s way of acting. He was always relaxed. By the time he was famous, it seemed as though actor Morgan Freeman already had a long and venerable career.

He is noted for his reserved demeanor and authoritative speaking voice. Freeman has received Academy Award nominations for his performances in Street Smart, Driving Miss Daisy, The Shawshank Redemption and Invictus and won in 2005 for Million Dollar Baby. He has also won a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Freeman has appeared in many other box office hits, including Unforgiven, Glory, Seven, Deep Impact, The Sum of All Fears, Bruce Almighty, Batman Begins, The Bucket List, Evan Almighty, Wanted, and The Dark Knight.

Freeman would not gain widespread exposure until he landed the Oscar-nominated role of the volatile pimp Fast Black in “Street Smart”. Because of that performance, Freeman catapulted into national prominence, quickly becoming a household name and one of Hollywood’s most distinguished performers. He was nominated again just two years later for his portrayal of Hoke Coleburn in “Driving Miss Daisy”, a role reprised from a previous off-Broadway stint. A third nomination for “The Shawshank Redemption” further cemented Freeman’s already esteemed image as a quality actor. Though it took another decade to actually win an Academy Award – his performance in Clint Eastwood’s “Million Dollar Baby” finally earned him the golden statue – Freeman had by then firmly established himself as one of the finest and most revered performers of his generation.
