Did Freeman sport them in Robin Hood? As "God"? As President? As the Wisest Man in the Universe?
I discount any historical movie in which Morgan Freeman "stars" to be unnecessarily Politically Correct.
That said, has any actor ever been typecast in as many authoritative roles as Morgan Freeman?:
God (twice)
Host of "The Story of God"
Senator
Speaker of the House
Doctor (three times)
Professor
Nelson Mandela
Malcolm X
Captain (twice)
"The Boss"
Detective Lieutenant (four times)
Brig. General
Sgt. Major
President
Judge
Principal
DCI (Direct of Central Intelligence
He was pretty good in Unforgiven.
