Morgan Freeman is one of the industry's well-respected and very admired actors. Let's talk about his life and career.

Morgan Freeman As An Actor

Morgan Freeman has been in the showbiz industry for almost four decades. He has done hundreds of movies since he began acting in 1980.

But one of the remarkable films he did was "The Shawshank of Redemption" in 1994. This movie is about the life of prisoners in the country. Twenty years after the movie was done, Freeman reminisces and talks about this film once again.

Morgan Freeman On "The Shawshank Redemption"

"The Shawshank Redemption" was a movie of Morgan Freeman twenty years ago, but on his recent guesting on "The Graham Norton Show," Freeman expressed his opinion on why the film was a flop.

In a report posted by Cinema Blend, Freeman's recent observations concerning the financial performance of "The Shawshank Redemption" exposed a rigid certainty about filmmaking: According to him, is not constantly a meritocracy.

You may produce a wonderful film that's stuffed to the edge with exceptional talent, but if the title does not protrude, then nobody will go to watch it. Of course, that is only one theory for why "The Shawshank Redemption" did not play well at the box office.

Frank Darabont, Morgan Freeman's co-actor in the movie, was asked a very related question last year. He answered with the assumption that notwithstanding of the measure of talent connected with the scheme, people did not want to see a slow-paced prison film in 1994.

Meanwhile, in a report from Yahoo! during his guesting on the show, Freeman grudgingly accepted to enact a new version of the film's closing voice-over ("I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend). Freeman was recently seen in the comedy film, "Going In-Style". Stay tuned for more updates on Morgan Freeman.
