Buddy comedy ‘Last Vegas’ hits jackpot with senior star wattage

LAS VEGAS, Nov 6:   Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman has a conundrum at 76 years of age: he gets plenty of job offers, but the roles tend to be serious and they only beget more serious roles. “I would do anything that got me out of gravitas,” said the actor, who has played the likes of a prison inmate in 1994’s “The Shawshank Redemption” and Nelson Mandela in 2009’s “Invictus” over a prolific career.
