Morgan Freeman | Born: 1937

Morgan Freeman needs no introduction. Because of all his Oscar-winning performances, saying that he is an amazing actor will sound like an understatement. Among his most famous credit roles are in the films Million Dollar Baby, Street Smart, and Driving Miss Daisy. As a child, he was always inclined toward acting. In fact, he won a statewide drama competition before he was a teenager. However, he hesitated to pursue acting when he was a teen and decided to serve as a radar technician in the United States Air Force. He ultimately realized that this was not for him and went on to take acting classes, which altered the course of his life.

Although he’s passed the 80-year mark, the actor still seems to have more energy than most. With a career full of amazing performances, he definitely deserves all the awards he was given.
