His first appearance on TV was in 1971 playing several characters, including: Easy Reader” “Count Dracula” and others. Gained even much more popularity after portraying Malcolm X‘s biography film, “Death of a Prophet”.

Freeman continued to contribute decent enough performances in films that were inconsistent in their quality. However, he really stood out, scoring an Oscar nomination as a merciless hoodlum in Street Smart (1987) and, then, he dazzled audiences and pulled a second Oscar nomination in the film version of Driving Miss Daisy (1989) opposite Jessica Tand. In 2009, he reunited with Eastwood to star in the director’s true-life drama Invictus (2009), on which Freeman also served as an executive producer.
