Morgan Freeman sits down with Host James Lipton for Inside the Actors Studio, now in its twelfth season. With an authoritative voice, this calmly demeaning and ever popular African American actor has grown into one of the most respected figures in modern US cinema. Born in June 1937 in Memphis, Tennessee, the young Freeman attended Los Angeles Community College before serving several years in the US Air Force as a mechanic between 1955 and 1959. His first dramatic arts exposure was on the stage and he appeared in an off Broadway production of The N****r Lovers and also in an all-African American production of the exuberant musical Hello, Dolly! (1969). Freeman's work in later years included the slave tale of Amistad (1997), he was a worried US President facing Armageddon from above in Deep Impact (1998), appeared in the loopy Neil LaBute black comedy Nurse Betty (2000), and reprised his role as Alex Cross in Along Came a Spider (2001). Now highly popular, he was much in demand
