20 Cool Things About Morgan Freeman

1. The only award he hasn't won is the Nobel Peace Prize, unless the committee believes that he is in fact Nelson Mandela.

2. He was inspired to act by watching Gary Cooper - which explains The Unforgiven.

3. If Morgan Freeman tells someone to do something, 99 times out of 100 they're gonna think twice about NOT doing it.

4. The dots on his face. No one else could pull it off. He can.

5. Anyone who can hold their own against Jessica Tandy is a consummate actor. He did it and won awards for it!

6. He's cool with the whole Easy Reader thing. Though I wouldn't push him to do his Count Dracula.

7. One of the best actors in Hollywood, DESPITE Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

8. When the Earth is about to get hit by a giant meteor, he makes a terrific President.

9. You remember the movie Hard Rain? No? You remember Morgan Freeman as a criminal stealing money out of a bank in a flooded town? Yes? There you go.

10. If James Earl Jones isn't available, Morgan's the best replacement, apparently.

11. He has his own Internet domain name, like all important people do (wink wink nudge nudge).

12. From all evidence, he's a really good boxing teacher.

13. He's trademarked, baby! Let's see Rita Moreno top him on THAT!

14. The best advertising left-handers ever had.

15. He's worked with two Batmen.

16. Never worked with Pauly Shore. Never will.

17. Stephen King movie adaptations usually work better when he's in the cast. Usually.

18. It seems anyone who wants to up their clout as an actor (Ben Affleck, Keanu Reeves, Owen Wilson) simply makes a movie with him.

19. To his credit, Morgan's never had to play a part wearing a dress.

20. He is...and I know of two movies that will back me up on this...God.

Dope out.
