Last night Morgan Freeman was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award at last night’s Golden Globes.

The 74-year-old actor has taken on eclectic roles for the past half-century; he’s played a con, a driver, a president and even God.

Did you know Morgan Freeman once played Count Dracula on the variety show “The Electric Company”. On this particular show, Morgan sings while taking a bubble bath in a casket. I’m not even making this up! This is probably Morgan’s best work to date.

Without a doubt, Morgan Freeman has one of the most recognizable voices in Hollywood. He can narrates about Penguins, play God, put babies to sleep with a lullaby and now he’s on a new vocal adventure: recording answering machines.

Revolver Entertainment, one of the leading film distrubutors, didn’t want to rely on a robot to speak on the company’s automated telephone menu. Instead, they asked Million Dollar Baby actor Morgan Freeman to be the voice people hear first when they phone in.

This is a really good move on Revolver Entertainment. Many of us humans are sick and tired of calling major companies and getting a prerecorded droid on the other end. To hear a familiar voice will ease the pain of having to wait 20 minutes on the line to speak to an actual representative. Hopefully, more businesses reach out to Freeman because it seems answering machines are his forte.

Other celebrities that should follow in his footsteps: Adele, Sarah Silverman, Keifer Sutherland and Rosie Perez.

The Jaws of Life were used to free him. Freeman was said to be lucid while he was being extracted from the wreck. “He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point,” said Clay McFerrin, editor of the Sun Sentinel in Charleston.

The actor broke both his arm and elbow, and damaged his shoulder.

Freeman’s co-star Heath Ledger died shortly after the film was completed, and Christian Bale was recently investigated for a violent altercation with his own mother and sister.
