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.

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

Yeah, he'd win a bunch of hero cookies and medals and possibly American Idol.

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

He has zero range as an actor.

HAL from 2001. He was always very polite.

Just try not to think about that whole killing thing.

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.
