Danny Glover was recently honored the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, in France last Monday. According to The Local, the award, which recognizes significant contributions to the arts, is not restricted to French citizens and previous recipients include Bob Dylan and George Clooney. Glover is known, not only for his superious acting abilities but for his community activism, particularly in the area of health care and education programs in the U.S. and Africa. The award was presented to Glover by culture minister Frédéric Mitterrand in a ceremony in Paris, The Local said.
"In France, it's often the figure of the intellectual, university teacher or writer who gets involved with public issues," said Mitterrand in his address. "In the US, well-known actors also often seize the initiative in matters of the public interest." Source: The Local.Fr
No matter if you are of a different political ideology than Mr. Glover, you have to admit, he is one of a handful of good actors in the U.S.
