Morgan Freeman
Freeman always loved movies and acting when he was a kid. He pieced together every dollar he could to afford to go to the movies. But when Freeman was a teen, he was pressured into turning down an acting scholarship to join the Air Force.
He Came Around to the Idea
By 1959, Freeman decided that acting was what he wanted to do full time. He moved to Hollywood and started popping up in a few different movies and shows. He didn't gain a ton of recognition until he was 52, so let that be advice for the people who think they're too old to become an actor.
