Actor Morgan Freeman is famous for his gravelly, assured voice and his roles in dramas, comedies, thrillers, and pretty much any movie that is Oscar-worthy and can afford him. He began acting when he was nine, appearing in a school production.

He kept at it through high school, but he declined a scholarship to Jackson State to enlist in the US Air Force. He was an ATR Repairman, and he achieved the rank of Airman 1st Class as a result of his diligence. He served in the military for four years before moving to LA.
