Morgan Freeman: Breaking Barriers

Morgan Freeman is one of the most recognisable actors in Hollywood. The eighty-four-year-old star has been in over 100 movies and has been a star on the big screen for over three decades.

His powerful voice and calming demeanour have landed him roles well suited to his character and ability to portray somebody else. Despite his recognisable traits, Morgan wasn't always well known.

Growing up, Morgan had a passion for acting but dreamed of being a pilot. He would often daydream about flying planes in class. His fantasies of being a pilot were during the time of World War 2 when Morgan was just a little boy.

The now eighty-four-year-old actor caught his first big break in 1968, in a Broadway musical called "Hello Dolly,"  and later starred in the children's television series "The Electric Company."

Morgan has played many roles, from street hustlers to God. He is world-renowned and continues to be recognised as the best in his craft. He has since gone on to star in major Hollywood films and is now a world-renowned actor.
