Highest Rated: 100% Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993)
Lowest Rated: 0% Imprisoned (2018)
Birthday: Jul 30, 1961
Birthplace: Augusta, Georgia, USA
A versatile performer equally adept at playing both hero and villain, actor Laurence Fishburne emerged on the scene after famously lying about his age to Francis Ford Coppola in order to land a prominent part in the director's seminal "Apocalypse Now" (1979). Though he struggled in small parts over the ensuing decade, Fishburne came into his own as a father trying to keep his son out of the gang life in "Boyz n the Hood" (1991). After richly textured supporting roles in "What's Love Got to Do with It" (1993) and "Searching for Bobby Fisher" (1993), he became the first African-American actor to perform the title role of "Othello" (1995) for a major Hollywood studio. Toward the end of the decade, Fishburne achieved iconic status with his Zen-like performance as the leather-clad Morpheus in the cultural phenomenon, "The Matrix" (1999), a role he reprised in the back-to-back sequels. With appearances in movies like "Mission: Impossible III" (2006), "Bobby" (2006) and "Assault on Precinct 13" (2005), as well as taking over the central role on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (CBS, 2000-2015) and both co-starring in and co-producing the sitcom "black-ish" (ABC 2014- ), Fishburne solidified his legacy as a truly diverse and welcome performer.

Russell Stevens Jr./John Hull says: What would you do?
Neo says: Am I dead?
Morpheus says: Far from it.
Tank says: How?
Morpheus says: He is the one!
Morpheus says: Unfortunately, no one can be told what The Matrix is. You'll have to see it for yourself.
Niobe says: I keep thinking, what if you're wrong? What if all this, the prophecy, everything is bullshit?
Morpheus says: Then, we'll all be dead.

Agent Smith says: Oh, you haven't you figured that out? still using all the muscles except the one that matters. I want exactly what you want, I want everything.
Morpheus says: would that include a bullet from this gun?
Agent Smith says: Go ahead, Shoot. The best thing about being me, is there so many mes!
Perry White says: I just came back from Aruba... Check out my tan.
Perry White says: I just came back from Aruba. Check out my tan.
Perry White says: Can you imagine how the people on this planet would react if they knew there was someone like this out there?
Morpheus says: What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.
Furious Styles says: Any fool with a dick can make a baby, but only a real man can raise his children.
Neo says: I thought it wasn't real.
Morpheus says: Your mind makes it real.

Morpheus says: If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
Neo says: Am I dead?
Morpheus says: Far from it.
Morpheus says: What if tomorrow the war could be over? Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for?
Morpheus says: Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you seemed so sure it was real? But if were unable to wake up from that dream, how would you tell the difference between the dream world & the real world?
Neo says: This can't be.
Morpheus says: Be what? Be real?
Morpheus says: This is a war, and we are soldiers, what if tomorrow the war could be over, isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for?
Morpheus says: The matrix is a system Neo, that system is our enemy.
Neo says: I know Kung Fu!
Morpheus says: Show me!
Morpheus says: The pill you took is part of a trace program. It's design to disrupt your input/output carrier signal so we can pinpoint your location.
Neo says: What does that mean?
Cypher says: It means buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy because Kansas is going bye bye.
Morpheus says: You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear, doubt, and disbelief, Free your mind.
Neo says: I know what you're trying to do.
Morpheus says: I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.
Morpheus says: Come on! Stop trying to hit me and hit me!
Morpheus says: Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
Morpheus says: Morpheus: If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

Morpheus says: Were you listening to me Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?
Morpheus says: If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain
Morpheus says: If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
Morpheus says: There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
Morpheus says: If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
Morpheus says: [after knocking Neo down] How did I beat you?
Neo says: [gasping] You're too fast.
Morpheus says: Do you believe that my being faster or stronger has anything to do with my muscles in this place? You think that's air you're breathing now?
Morpheus says: He is the one.
Captain Miller says: You miss me, you blow out the hull.
Weir says: What makes you think I'll miss?
Captain Miller says: This place is a tomb!
Captain Miller says: Vacate! I want off this ship!
Weir says: You can't leave. She won't let you.
Captain Miller says: You just get your gear and get back on the Lewis and Clark, Doctor, or you'll find yourself walkin' home.
Weir says: I am home.
Captain Miller says: Oh. My. God. What happened to your eyes?
Weir says: Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see.
Captain Miller says: What are you talking about?
Weir says: I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars, but she's gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure... evil. When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was alive! Look at her, Miller. Isn't she beautiful?
Captain Miller says: Your "beautiful" ship killed its crew, Doctor.
Weir says: Well... now she has another crew. Now she has us.
Theodore Brassel says: Mr. Musgrave, please don't interrupt me when I'm asking rhetorical questions.

Neo says: If you're killed in the Matrix, you die here?
Morpheus says: The body cannot live without the mind
Morpheus says: The body cannot live without the mind.
Morpheus says: Free your mind.
Morpheus says: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Morpheus says: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.
Morpheus says: Neo, sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
Dr. Ellis Cheever says: Well, Dr. Gupta, there continue to be evaluations of several drugs, Ribavirin is among them. But, right now our best defence has been social distancing. No hands shaking, staying home when you're sick, washing your hands frequently.
Helpful Doctor says: Alan today on Twitter, you wrote on that the truth about this virus is being kept from the world, by the CDC, by the World Health Organisation, to allow friends of the current administration to benefit from it both financially and physically.
Morpheus says: No. What happend happend, and couldn't have happend any other way.
Weir says: Now it is time to go back.
Weir says: And now... it is time to go back.
Captain Miller says: I know, to hell
Captain Miller says: [sounding bored] I know. To hell
Weir says: You know noting. Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse. Let me show you!
Weir says: You know nothing. Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse. Let me show you!
Dr. Ellis Cheever says: No one has to weaponize the bird flu. The birds are doing that
Dr. Ellis Cheever says: Someone doesn't has to weaponize the bird flu. The birds are doing that.
Dr. Ellis Cheever says: Someone doesn't have to weaponize the bird flu. The birds are doing that.
Dr. Ellis Cheever says: So we have a virus with no treatment protocol, and no vaccine at this time.
Morpheus says: I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.
Morpheus says: Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
Morpheus says: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
Morpheus says: As long as the Matrix exists, the human race will never be free.
Max says: This lump over here... This is Kincaid. Now I want you to take a good look. See, he gets himself thrown in the quite room so often that you probably won't see a whole lot of him. Ain't that right, "Cool Breeze"?
Max says: This lump over here. This is Kincaid. Now I want you to take a good look. See, he gets himself thrown in the quite room so often that you probably won't see a whole lot of him. Ain't that right, 'Cool Breeze'?
Kincaid says: Right. I do it so I don't have to look at your ugly face all the time.
Max says: Yeah, I love you too.
Max says: Say, listen Doc, I got a new theory about all these suicides...Right?
Max says: Say, listen Doc, I got a new theory about all these suicides. Right?
Dr. Neil Goldman says: Don't hold back on us, Max. We need all the help we can get.
Max says: It's fu*ked up chromosomes, man. Think about it. All their parents dropped acid during the sixties.
Dr. Neil Goldman says: Well, it beats Simm's theory. She thinks it's nothing but sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll.
Max says: Sh*t. That's what keeps people alive.
Max says: Girl, what are you doing?
Jennifer says: Watching TV.
Max says: Why don't you read a book? You watch too much damn TV.
Jennifer says: Research.
Max says: Oh, right. You're gonna be a TV star.
Jennifer says: Wait and see.
Max says: Well, if Simms catches you up here after lights out she is gonna chew my ass...
Jennifer says: I gotta stay up, Max!
Max says: Jennifer.
Jennifer says: Just tonight, please? I can't handle the nightmare. Not after Phillip. Not tonight.
Max says: Okay. But I never saw you.
Jennifer says: Thanks Max.
Weir says: Do you see ?!
Weir says: Do You See?!
Weir says: DO YOU SEE?!?!
Captain Miller says: Yes. I see. "Presses detonator switch"
Captain Miller says: Yes. I see. [Presses detonator switch]

Morpheus says: What are you waiting for? You're faster than this. Don't think you are, know you are. Come on. Stop trying to hit me and hit me.
