Hopefully he's able to make a quick recovery and resume his acting career.
I was just thinking of that exact thing.

I truly hope he ends up being okay

Was this show on in Canada? That Rita Moreno was a spicy little number.

The Electric Company? Yeah, at least in Calgary it was available through the PBS affiliate in Spokane, via cable TV.

It might be fun if you can just turn your brains off about curving bullets. I guess I shouldn't have gone knowing that it was going to be ridiculous, but anyone that has ever fired a gun knows you would probably shatter your wrists, the recoil on anything more then 9mm would throw you off, and if you knew the first thing about physics you would know getting enough normal acceleration would be impossible.

Nope, lost to Daniel Day Lewis from My Left Foot. Also lost for Shawshank to Forrst Gump. He was nominated for something in the late 80's as well and didn't win.

On a side note, Global Morning News had on their ticker that he and his wife are getting a divorce - what a crappy couple of days for Mr. Freeman.

So safe to say you've never liked any action movie ever? Because they all generally have things that aren't possible.
