||
| − | Later he is conversing with Ash if he can move his spot to sleep somewhere more comfortable, to which Ash snaps at him and tells him that he's annoyed with his sad houseguest routine. Kristofferson deals with his bed situation, but starts crying as soon as he lies down. Ash notices and checks on Kristofferson after hearing the noise. He then turns on his train set, which calms down Kristofferson. The both of them watch the train go around and around. |

| − | [[File:Kristofferson.png|thumb|250px]]At Ash's school, Kristofferson has enrolled and managed to distract Ash's lab partner, [http://fantasticmrfox.wikia.com/wiki/Agnes Agnes], who has seemed to develop a crush on Kristofferson and vice versa. The bully of the school asks Kristofferson why his cousin is "such a wet sandwich" and Kristofferson tells him off by saying that he sounds like a bully. After this small conversation, the same bully causes their experiment to blow up, making Kristofferson slightly annoyed and he goes to extinguish the Magnesium. Agnes is very impressed with this and tells him that she likes his ears, to which he replies that he likes her spots. |

Freeman made his off-Broadway debut in 1967, opposite Viveca Lindfors in ''The Nigger Lovers''<sup>[17]</sup> (about the Freedom Riders during the American Civil Rights Movement), before debuting on Broadway in 1968's all-black version of ''Hello, Dolly!''which also starred Pearl Bailey and Cab Calloway.<sup>[18]</sup> |
||
| + | Although his first credited film appearance was in 1971's ''Who Says I Can't Ride a Rainbow?'', Freeman first became known in the American media through roles on the soap opera ''Another World'' and the PBS kids' show ''The Electric Company''<sup>[12]</sup> (notably as Easy Reader, Mel Mounds the DJ, and Vincent the Vegetable Vampire<sup>[clip]</sup>). |

He plays and shows a firm understanding and skill of the game. The coach is rather impressed and comments to Ash, stating that "he really is your father's nephew." Ash replies that he wasn't related by blood. He's from his mother's side. After this, he sees Agnes holding up a K! and he asks what it stands for, rather shocked at it. She tells him that it's for pep, but he rebuttles with "... it's a K." Agnes shrugs and tells him "we're going steady," implying her new relationship with Kristofferson. |
||
| + | Joan Ganz Cooney claims that Freeman hated doing ''The Electric Company'', saying "it was a very unhappy period in his life."<sup>[19]</sup> Freeman himself admitted in an interview that he never thinks about his tenure with the show, but he acknowledged that, contrary to Cooney’s claims, he was glad to have been a part of it.<sup>[20]</sup> Since then, Freeman has considered his ''Street Smart'' (1987) character Fast Black, rather than any of the characters he played in ''The Electric Company'', to be his breakthrough role.<sup>[20][21]</sup> |
||
| − | Kristofferson is later seen accompaning Mr. Fox and Kylie to go steal Bean's cider. He tells his uncle that he's honored to have been invited but he doesn't like being dishonest to people, but Mr. Fox assures him that if doesn't say anything than that's technically not lying. He later helps trap the Rat of security in Bean's cellar by pulling a rug from under him and locking him in a crate. After this, he remarks about Mrs. Bean's bad eyesight and that's how she must not have seen him. When Mr. Fox tries to sneak out again, only to be stopped by Mrs. Fox, Kristofferson is seen about to go to with his bandit hat on, but Mr. Fox says that he's not with them and sent him to bed. |
||
| + | Freeman continued to be involved in theater work and received the Obie Award in 1980 for the title role in ''Coriolanus''. In 1984, he received his second Obie Award for his role as the preacher in ''The Gospel at Colonus''. Freeman also won a Drama Desk Award and a Clarence Derwent Award for his role as a wino in ''The Mighty Gents''. He received his third Obie Award for his role as a chauffeur for a Jewish widow in ''Driving Miss Daisy'', which was adapted for the screen in 1989.<sup>[15]</sup> |
||
| − | After Mr. Fox's tail was shot off, Ash rants and eventually says at least Mr. Fox's injury wasn't as bad as Kristofferson's dad who had "one foot in the grave and three on a banana peel." Kristofferson throws an acorn in frustration, it landing perfectly in a cup he was holding. He states that he will go meditate for half an hour, showing that he was rather upset and angered by Ash's comment as well as his worry for his dad. Ash is told that he has 29 minutes to think up a proper apology. |
||
| + | Beginning in the mid-1980s, Freeman began playing prominent supporting roles in feature films, earning him a reputation for depicting wise, fatherly characters.<sup>[12]</sup> As he gained fame, he went on to bigger roles in films such as the chauffeur Hoke in ''Driving Miss Daisy'', and Sergeant Major Rawlins in ''Glory'' (both in 1989).<sup>[12]</sup> In 1994, he portrayed Red, the redeemed convict in the acclaimed ''The Shawshank Redemption''.

When the foxes (plus Kylie) meet up with the other animals, Ash is bullied by Beaver's son and Kristofferson stands up for him by beating up the beaver. He seemed to realize that Ash was extremely self-conscience and even vulnerable. Ash tells him, "I can fight my own fights" to which Kristofferson replies with, "No, you can't." |
