Happy Birthday to
Morgan Freeman
73 today
Morgan's in a very special place in his career, venerable, sage-like, when a wise and authoritative role comes along he's pretty much the first person you think of. Such as last year when he was so obviously going to get an Oscar nod for Invictus we all could've put money on it several years before. He's a lucky man to be able to get automatic praise like that (I snark, as I have yet to catch up with the film). Next up is the third of Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise due in 2012 when he will return to the wise sage-like Lucius Fox.

I only hope he has not typecast himself. I long to see the menace, the power of his first Oscar-nominated role, "Street Smart".
Then again, he is unparallelled as a narrator: "Shawshank Redemption", "Million Dollar Baby".
I think he has typecast himself, having yet to come close to the Street Smart role since.
But if you can get work, why not typecast yourself...
