Morgan Freeman is undoubtedly a great actor whose mere presence can literally legitimize ANY movie. In looking at his career, however, anyone who can appreciate acting can appreciate his ability to play all kinds of characters. From his days as the Easy Reader on 'Electric Company' to his portrayal as fatherly-figure Sgt. Major John Rawlins, of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment in 'Glory', and anything within and beyond- Freeman is the epitomy of great acting.
