The Morgan Freeman Effect

It goes without saying that, although actor Morgan Freeman does not fare so well as a leading man, he is the very best supporting actor in the world.  From "Shawshank Redemption" to "Batman Begins", Mr. Freeman brings gravitas and class to every project he touches.  Even those movies that tank, like "Evan Almighty", are at least partially rescued by this fine thespian's gifts.

So it occurred to me: why can't Morgan Freeman be inserted into today's volitile and scary real life?   Would even the worst world tragedies garner a lift from Mr. Freeman's presence?  Could life be a bit more livable and lovable if Mr. Freeman made a (non lead-role) appearance?

The answer is yes.
