From the very late ‘80s to the end of the aughts, you couldn’t escape Morgan Freeman’s presence on the silver screen. He was in Oscar contender after Oscar contender, the go-to character actor of his heyday, and then, poof, he became less visible.
However, it’s not like he’s retired either. Case in point, all the straight-to-VOD movies he’s been making these past 10 years. Scrolling through his filmography, the last true “Hollywood” year Freeman had was in 2016, and that’s when “Now You See Me 2,” “London Has Fallen,” and “Ben-Hur” came out.
One could theorize that his bewildering absence from mainstream films had to do with the 88-year-old actor being accused of sexµal harassment in 2018. In a Time magazine interview, around the time of the accusations, Freeman said, “My life is at risk of being undermined.” However, it seems like the story against Freeman didn’t stick, with the Screen Actors Guild deciding against revoking Freeman’s lifetime achievement award after careful investigation.
Regardless, Freeman has now been screen acting for more than six decades. The depth, gravitas, and authenticity he’s brought to his best work is hard to match. It’s the type of magnetic presence that commands attention.
