How he didn't get a Oscar for Shawshank I will never understand. <br><br>As for my favs, I initially loved him in Lean On Me, which is a great flick (and came out before "the rebellious school teacher/administrator makes a difference in inner-city kids' lives" plot became overused). And Glory is an amazing movie as well. But he stole and sold Shawshank Redemption! By far, my favorite performance of his.

Everything about it was brilliant.<br><br>Morgan was also really good in The Red Violin. I'll also agree with Jason here - he was good in Glory, Seven, and The Unforgiven.
