Morgan
Freeman was born on the 1st of June 1937 in Tennessee, USA. He is
known mostly for being a very calm and fatherly figure in movies, often taking
a supporting actor role (Almost never lead actor) yet he can always make his
appearance known as a great and powerful support actor who really captures the
viewers’ attention often away from the lead. A good example of this is when
Freeman starred as Red alongside Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne who was supposed
to play lead but anyone who has watched Shawshank Redemption (1994) would know
Freeman as their most remembered actor in the movie. Freeman is also known well
for his narrating and his instantly recognizable smooth, deep voice.
