Actually Sidney Portier has whined quite a bit....he is a good actor though and unlike Halle, he truly did have obstacles to overcome.

Morgan Freeman...is a great example of how all actors should act....black or white or yellow or whatever.....WITH DIGNITY and GOOD MANNERS.

OF course....he is from Mississippi(the Delta no less) so I'm partial.

Sorry, I guess I missed it, if it was recent. I have no respect for whiners like Barry or Harry Belefonte, for their whining right now. If, on the other hand, SP was "whining" back in the 50's through the 80's, I could certainly understand it. The man who starred in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "To Sir With Love" (still one of my all time favorite movies), and "In the Heat of the Night" (one of the greatest lines of all times: "The call me Mr. Tibbs!") should have never had any trouble getting wonderful parts.
