If Morgan Freeman ever played a retarded Jesus, he'd win every Oscar category, hands down. And the Lifetime Achievement Award, and probably even some Emmys and Grammys.

And some Golden Globes. A few People's Choice Awards as well. Hell, he'd even take home a blimp from the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.

John Candy characters are by far my most likeable characters.

I am guessing the plate under the steak says, "Big 96er". I can't clearly make out the last two letters.

It'd never happen. Morgan Freeman can only play Morgan Freeman.

He has zero range as an actor.

Except the guy on the right. He has never been likeable in anything. I want to kill Jiminy Glick.

HAL from 2001. He was always very polite.

Just try not to think about that whole killing thing.

More than just likeable. She's absolutely lovable.

Sir Percival in Excalibur.

A lot of people are listing characters that I would never hang with, like Jules Winfield (he'd as soon kill me as look at me) and Inspector Clouseau (he'd set my desk on fire and sneak off). I'm talking about characters so likable that I'd want to be around them, not likable enough to watch from a safe distance.

Amy Adams' character in Junebug
