Morgan Freeman ''is'' [[God]]<ref>After [[George Burns]] stepped down from the role</ref> (yes, literally, see image). His distinctive and authoritative voice and his calm, measured tones lend dignity and gravitas to pretty much everything he says. The [[Cozy Voice for Catastrophes|comforting qualities of his voice]] are only equaled by [[Stephen Fry]]. Watching them [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C83pEooe3m4 have a conversation in a blues club] is exactly as awesome as it sounds.

The quintessential [[Magical Negro]] actor, Freeman is probably best known for his roles in ''[[Driving Miss Daisy]]'', ''[[Glory]]'', ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'', ''[[Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves]]'', ''[[Unforgiven]]'' and ''[[Se7en]]''. More recently, he has played Lucius Fox in the [[The Dark Knight Saga|new]] ''[[Batman (film)|Batman]]'' movies, himself in ''[[Bruce Almighty|Bruce/Evan Almighty]]'' (okay, God actually, but could you really tell the difference?), and was the [[Narrator]] of ''March of the Penguins'' and the ''[[The War of the Worlds (film)|The War of the Worlds]]'' remake. Considering he spent years trying to live down his roles of "Easy Reader" and "Vincent the Vegetable Vampire" on ''[[The Electric Company]]'', he's not complaining. His latest role is Nelson Mandela in ''[[Invictus]]''. Since early 2010, he has performed the voice over spiel in the open of the ''[[CBS|CBS Evening News]]'', replacing a 2006 spiel done by Walter Cronkite, who died a few months prior. He is also voice of Visa in the commercials, most notably those done for the [[Olympic Games|2008 Summer Olympics, the 2010 Winter Olympics]], and the [[Super Bowl]]. He's the host of ''Through the Wormhole'' on The Science Channel, a show which hopes to tackle some of the greater mysteries of life and existence. If anyone can explain it, it's Morgan Freeman.

He is now the "voice" of Disney's Hall of Presidents attraction, a fact that threatens to actually make that attraction cool.
