Morgan Freeman
Morgan Freeman joined the Air Force after a strong love and desire to become a fighter pilot. Once he enlisted though, Freeman was given the job of a radar technician, which did not fulfill his dream of becoming a fighter pilot. However, after a year of enlistment, he was finally given the chance to train as a fighter pilot, but once he sat in the cockpit of a plane, his mind immediately changed as he felt he was “sitting in the nose of a bomb.” Freeman left the military in 1959 and for 20 years struggled to make himself known in the acting world. Today he’s one of the most widely recognized African American actors.
