Interviewee: Morgan Freeman

From Academy Award-winning director John G. Avildsen ("Rocky") comes this inspiring story starring Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman ("Million Dollar Baby," "Driving Miss Daisy") and Armin Mueller-Stahl ("Shine," "Music Box"), Oscar-winner John Gielgud ("Arthur," "Murder on the Orient Express") and Stephen Dorff ("FearDotCom," "Blade"). Dorff is an orphan in South Africa during the 1930s and '40s whose growth is profoundly influenced by two men, one black and one white. They teach him to become physically and ethically strong enough to overcome his loneliness and defend his beliefs under the cruel system of apartheid. Jeffrey Lyons of Sneak Previews declares this film "enormously powerful! The performance of Morgan Freeman is astonishing...the story will stay with you."

The heart-stopping story of the first black regiment to fight for the North in the Civil War, Glory stars Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Cary Elwes and Morgan Freeman. Broderick and Elwes are the idealistic young Bostonians who lead the regiment; Freeman is the inspirational sergeant who unites the troops; and Denzel Washington, in an Oscar - winning performance (1989, Best Supporting Actor), is the runaway slave who embodies the indomitable spirit of the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts.

Comic genius Jim Carrey stars with Jennifer Aniston and Morgan Freeman in the funniest, most outrageously entertaining comedy hit of the year that critics are applauding as "a laugh a minute" (Jim Ferguson, FOX-TV). Bruce Nolan (Carrey) is a discontented TV reporter who believes the entire universe is stacked against him. In a life-altering encounter, the Big Guy Upstairs (Freeman) endows Bruce with all of His divine powers and challenges Bruce to take on the big job to see if he can do it any better. Bruce Almighty is the wildly funny comedy featuring "Jim Carrey at his best!" (Leonard Maltin, Hot Ticket)

Like a lot of successful thespians, Morgan Freeman paid his dues as a commercial actor. We bet he still smokes black and long, though!
