WASHINGTON (July 19, 2012)--Actor Morgan Freeman has contributed $1 million to Priorities USA Action, a "super" political action committee that backs President Barack Obama.

The actor said in a statement that Obama has done a "remarkable job in historically difficult circumstances."

He said that includes winding down the Iraq war, reforming Wall Street and protecting health care.

Several Hollywood figures have given to the pro-Obama group, including director Steven Spielberg and producer Jeffrey Katzenberg.

The super PAC says it will release a full list Friday of donors who gave in June.
