Morgan Freeman
I'm not just a Morgan Freeman fan, I'm a Morgan Freeman admirer. I hope you get the distinction I'm trying to make: I don't just enjoy his work as an actor, I think of him as the kind of guy I'd like to emulate. So I'm upset and worried to hear that he's been seriously injured in a car accident.
I hope I'm not coming off like some kind of creepy stalker type guy, here. I'm not ready to sit in the bushes across from the Freeman home with a pair of binoculars. But I will say a prayer tonight for his full recovery, and I hope you will, too.
And by the way, I'm fully aware that Morgan Freeman supports Obama. For the record, I don't have to agree with a person on every subject in order to admire them a great deal.
One more thing I'm gonna say and then I'm gonna shut up before I get accused of having a "crush" on Morgan Freeman. I haven't seen Bruce Almighty; I did see Evan Almighty and I didn't much like it. Having said that, how cool is it that they cast Morgan Freeman to play God in those movies? I'd call it inspired casting, but it's not really "inspired," it's just obvious. Morgan freeman exudes wisdom, kindness, authority and morality. If somehow in the next life I get an audience with The Lord God and he decides to put on a familiar facade to make me more comfortable, I'd specifically request the Morgan Freeman look.
That would make such a good meme! I'm going for one of the following looks: Leonard Cohen, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, Regina Taylor, Jimmy Carter, and of course, because I can't help myself, Johnny Depp. Morgan Freeman wouldn't scare me but I'm more drawn to Forrest Whittaker. Especailly as he was in "Phenomenon".
