Morgan Freeman

Before his breakthrough role, Morgan Freeman had already achieved success in stage productions and children's television series. However, it was his performance in "Street Smart" that garnered him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor at 50 years old. Two years later, at 52, he received another Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his work in "Driving Miss Daisy." Freeman's success continued with starring roles in blockbusters like "Se7en" and "The Dark Knight," and his distinctive voice has made him a sought-after narrator and voice actor in Hollywood.
