## Transcript

For your late night highlight sometimes stars get confused for other stars. Apparently even Morgan Freeman. He told Jimmy Kimmel, he was at an airport earing an hat and glasses when a man approached him claiming to know who he was. And the guy comes over and say's " I know you're trying to be incognito, but. I recognize you. I said oh, oh, really? And he said yeah, Samuel L. Jackson. [ APPLAUSE ] Morgan Freeman, Samuel L. Jackson, we're not really seeing the similarity. And remember Samuel L. Jackson's other case of mistaken identity? He was once confused for Laurence Fishburn. It did not make the actor too happy.

As for the real Morgan Freeman he's in Dolphin Tale 2 in theaters now. He plays a doctor trying to save a dolphin and keep her at their local aquarium.
