Morgan Freeman, the versatile actor, will be honoured with the 2017 lifetime achievement award by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) at its annual ceremony in January.
Freeman, 80, whose prolific career spans 50 years and more than 100 movies, will join the likes of past recipients Lily Tomlin, Debbie Reynolds and Dick Van Dyke when he gets the honour at a Los Angeles ceremony on January 21. SAG announced the award on Tuesday.
“Some actors spend their entire careers waiting for the perfect role. Morgan showed us that true perfection is what a performer brings to the part,” SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris said in a statement.
“He is innovative, fearless and completely unbound by expectations,” she added.
The award is given annually to the actor who fosters the finest ideals of the acting profession.
In 2005, he won an Oscar for playing a former boxer in Million Dollar Baby.
