The United States of America's first African-American president.

I hope he's okay. I love him.

Only a tool or a reporter refers to rescue equipment as "the jaws of life."

wishing him well, but youre outro should have stated "tough, classy and playing the same character in all of his movies."

Don't die on me Morgan!

No one else, save Sigorney Weaver, could add such gravitas to a documentary.

My favorite male actor, bar none. I read this this morning and felt an inch tall. I truly hope he is OK...

m. freeman wasn't the first african american president ( i'm assuming you're referring to the chracter he played 1998's deep impact) james earl jones played the first african american president in a film called 'the man'in 1972. he became president after a freak accident killed the president and speaker of the house, and the vice president is too ill to assume the position. jones was the senate president pro tempore next in line, and in so doing he became ( to use the lingo of the 70's )'the man'.

Huh.

Personally I could do without yet another performance of Morgan Freeman's Wise Old Mentor™. I hope he makes a full recovery and vows to stop repeating himself.

Y'all missed one of the coolest things ever about Morgan Freeman, namely, his early work.

Yep, that's him.
