Before They Were Stars, These Celebrities Earned Stripes—in the Service
The road to fame as an actor, politician or musician is not one specific, prepaved path. Still, it seems surprising to go from something as serious and life changing as the armed services to an industry where you still may slip on a uniform every day, but only to play pretend. You might be surprised by just how many big names in entertainment and public life were military men first, though.

Morgan Freeman in the Air Force; Morgan Freeman—Today
Morgan Freeman is one of the best actors of our time. We are comfortable stating that as a fact. But had things gone just a little differently, he might never have become an actor at all.
