That scene between Red and Andy Dufresne, where a smuggling deal was born over a game of catch, may have looked easygoing on screen. But behind the scenes, it was a physical grind. Freeman was left-handed, and throwing with his dominant arm all day took its toll. The next morning, he showed up to set with his arm in a sling, without a single word of fuss. That’s how far he went for the role that turned him into a full-on Hollywood legend. And that wasn’t …
