Morgan Freeman by Arie van der Wijst
Arie van der Wijst

Morgan Freeman by

One of the most respected actors in today’s cinema, but also very well known as narrator for several brilliant documentaries.
Mirrored in his sunglasses here I’ve painted Gary Cooper who’s movies inspired Morgan to become an actor himself, luckily for us, because cinema wouldn’t be the same without him.
He can play just any role he wants to, from a hitman (The Contract) to Nelson Mandela (Invictus) and even God (Bruce Almighty). People call him the greatest living actor in film, he says he was just lucky.
