birth name | Morgan Freeman |

Morgan Freeman (born June 1, 1937) is an American actor, film director, aviator and narrator. He is noted for his reserved demeanor and authoritative speaking voice. Freeman has received Academy Award nominations for his performances in ''Street Smart'', ''Driving Miss Daisy'', ''The Shawshank Redemption'' and ''Invictus'' and won in 2005 for ''Million Dollar Baby''. He has also won a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
Freeman has appeared in many other box office hits, including ''Unforgiven'', ''Glory'', ''Seven'', ''Deep Impact'', ''The Sum of All Fears'', ''Bruce Almighty'', ''Batman Begins'', ''March of the Penguins'', ''The Bucket List'', ''Evan Almighty'', ''Wanted'', ''The Dark Knight'', and ''Red''.
Freeman moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s and worked as a transcript clerk at Los Angeles Community College. During this period, he also lived in New York City, working as a dancer at the 1964 World's Fair, and in San Francisco, where he was a member of the Opera Ring music group. Freeman acted in a touring company version of ''The Royal Hunt of the Sun,'' and also appeared as an extra in the 1965 film ''The Pawnbroker.'' He made his off-Broadway debut in 1967, opposite Viveca Lindfors in ''The Nigger Lovers'' (about the civil rights era "Freedom Riders"), before debuting on Broadway in 1968's all-black version of ''Hello, Dolly!,'' which also starred Pearl Bailey and Cab Calloway.
Beginning in the mid-1980s, Freeman began playing prominent supporting roles in many feature films, earning him a reputation for depicting wise, fatherly characters. As he gained fame, he went on to bigger roles in films such as the chauffeur Hoke in ''Driving Miss Daisy'', and Sergeant Major Rawlins in ''Glory'' (both in 1989). In 1994 he portrayed Red, the redeemed convict in the acclaimed ''The Shawshank Redemption''. In the same year he was a member of the jury at the 44th Berlin International Film Festival.
He also starred in films such as ''Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves'', ''Unforgiven'', ''Seven'', and ''Deep Impact''. In 1997, Freeman, together with Lori McCreary, founded the film production company Revelations Entertainment, and the two co-head its sister online film distribution company ClickStar. Freeman also hosts the channel ''Our Space'' on ClickStar, with specially crafted film clips in which he shares his love for the sciences, especially space exploration and aeronautics.
After three previous nominations—a supporting actor nomination for ''Street Smart'', and leading actor nominations for ''Driving Miss Daisy'', and ''The Shawshank Redemption''—he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in ''Million Dollar Baby'' at the 77th Academy Awards. Freeman is recognized for his distinctive voice, making him a frequent choice for narration. In 2005 alone, he provided narration for two films, ''War of the Worlds'' and the Academy Award-winning documentary film ''March of the Penguins''.
Freeman appeared as God in the hit film ''Bruce Almighty'' and its sequel, ''Evan Almighty'', as well as Lucius Fox in the critical and commercial success ''Batman Begins'' and its 2008 sequel, ''The Dark Knight''. He starred in Rob Reiner's 2007 film ''The Bucket List'', opposite Jack Nicholson. He teamed with Christopher Walken and William H. Macy for the comedy ''The Maiden Heist'', which was released direct to video due to financial problems of the distribution company. In 2008, Freeman returned to Broadway to co-star with Frances McDormand and Peter Gallagher for a limited engagement of Clifford Odets's play, ''The Country Girl'', directed by Mike Nichols.
He had wanted to do a film based on Nelson Mandela for some time. At first he tried to get Mandela's autobiography, ''Long Walk to Freedom'', adapted into a finished script, but it could never be finalized. In 2007 he purchased the film rights to a pre-published 2008 book by John Carlin, ''Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation''. Clint Eastwood directed the Nelson Mandela bio-pic titled ''Invictus'', starring Freeman as Mandela and Matt Damon as rugby team captain Francois Pienaar. In October 2010, Freeman co-starred alongside Bruce Willis in ''Red''.
Freeman was the first American to record a par on Legend Golf & Safari Resort's Extreme 19th hole.
At age 65, Freeman earned a private pilot's license. He owns or has owned at least three private aircraft, including a Cessna Citation 501 jet and a Cessna 414 twin-engine prop. In 2007 he purchased an Emivest SJ30 long-range private jet, and took delivery in December 2009. He is certified to fly all of them.
Effective January 4, 2010, Freeman replaced Walter Cronkite as the voiceover introduction to the ''CBS Evening News'' featuring Katie Couric as news anchor. CBS cited the need for consistency in introductions for regular news broadcasts and special reports as the basis for the change.
As of 2010, Freeman is the host and narrator of the Discovery Channel television show ''Through the Wormhole''.
He has two sons from previous relationships before he married Bradshaw. He adopted his first wife's daughter, and the couple also had his fourth child.
In 2008, the TV series ''African American Lives 2'' revealed that Freeman's great-great-grandparents were slaves who migrated from North Carolina to Mississippi.
Freeman has worked on narrating small clips for global organizations, such as One Earth, whose goals include raising awareness of environmental issues. He has narrated the clip "Why Are We Here", which can be viewed on One Earth's website.
Freeman has donated money to the Mississippi Horse Park in Starkville, Mississippi. The Horse park is part of Mississippi State University. Freeman has several horses that he takes there.
Freeman joined President Bill Clinton, USA Bid Committee Chairman Sunil Gulati, and USMNT midfielder Landon Donovan on Wednesday, December 1, 2010 in Zurich for the USA bid committee's final presentation to FIFA for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
In 2008, Freeman's family history was profiled on the PBS series ''African American Lives 2''. A DNA test showed that he is descended from the Songhai and Tuareg peoples of Niger.

Dukes of Windsor are a Berlin-based Australian Electro/Rock group most noted for their single ''It's A War'', released in Australia in 2008 and in Europe in early 2010, as well as their song ''The Others'', famously remixed by Australian dance act TV Rock.
The Dukes’ career began with the release of the EP Foxhunt in 2005. Debut album The Others followed in 2006, produced in Melbourne by expatriate American Jonathan Burnside (Faith No More, Nirvana). Extra production, mixing and mastering were provided by hardcore producers Pelle Henricsson and Eskil Lovstrom (Refused - 'The Shape Of Punk To Come', Poison the Well, Hell is for Heroes) from Tonteknik Studios in Umea, Sweden. After the release of the album, the band embarked on an intensive schedule of touring around Australia. After extensive national radio play, they were showcased as a ‘Next Crop Artist’ by national broadcaster Triple j in November 2006.
In 2007, the remix of their debut single ‘The Others’ was certified Gold in Australia (50,000 copies), was a top 10 Aria single, spent three months at #1 on the Aria Club Chart, and received an Aria Award nomination. The guys also closed out the MTV Australian Music Video Awards ceremony in Sydney that year.
second album 'Minus' was released through Island Records in Australia in late 2008. To record the album, the band reunited with Pelle and Eskil, travelling to Tonteknik Studios in the Swedish winter. The album’s title both represents these sub-zero temperatures, as well as the fresh clinical approach to the album. The stark sound is balanced with warm synth textures and vocals.
After the release of 'Minus', the band took in a string of sell-out gigs in capital cities, as well as completing dates nationally with Sneaky Sound System, Sam Sparro, The Music and The Vines. The band also featured heavily on Australian national broadcaster triple j, with two ‘Number One Most Played’, and television performances on both Rove Live (‘It’s A War’) and The Footy Show (‘Get It’). Three singles were released from 'Minus', including ‘It’s a War’, ‘Get it’ (both 2008), and most recently, ‘Runaway’ (2009). The video clip for ‘Runaway’ was also featured as a ‘Ripe Clip Of The Week’ on national music television channel Channel [V].
Comprising Jack Weaving (vocals) , Oscar Dawson (guitar), Joe Franklin (bass), Scott Targett (keys) and Mirra Seigerman (drums), the band relocated to Berlin, Germany, in December 2009 to continue writing their third full-length album. After signing a management and joint venture deal with local indie label Motor Music, they also released the album 'It's A War', an album comprising selected songs off 'Minus' and 'The Others'.
Since then, they have spent time preparing to self-produce their next full-length album from their own studio, in Berlin.
