Last night at the Golden Globes, Morgan Freeman received the Cecil B. DeMille award in recognition of his long acting career, which has included amazing films like The Shawshank Redemption, Glory, Unforgiven, The Dark Knight, and Driving Miss Daisy.

Stars who started out in (bad) commercials could be a weekly feature. Another classic is Jason Alexander in the 80s doing a McDonalds commercial for the McDLT.

I really do adore Morgan Freeman. And I found that commercial hilarious.
