Morgan Freeman Just Like the Others

The Paper Chase

Yesterday's New York Times profile of Morgan Freeman was, for me, akin to learning Santa's not real all over again:

"I really spent 20 years in theater trying to get into the movies," he said. "From childhood that’s what I wanted to do. Mostly I don’t want to do stage. It’s too much work. Movies, you do a little work, make a lot of money and move on. I like that."

So, what's wrong with acknowledging that less work for more money is better than more work for less money?

I like that better than self-important actors who pretend like their profession is somehow making a difference.

Ah, if only my parents had thrust me into acting at a tender young age. Le sigh.
