I was gonna post in this last night just saying that I'm really tired of seeing Morgan Freeman in every other movie nowadays, esp simply playing the role of the "wise old black man."

Then I see this article this morning

Morgan Freeman to play wise old man in movie to be decided later

Honestly, Morgan Freeman is one of the people who could read the phonebook to me and it would sound interesting. Him, Patrick Stewart, Sean Connery, Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Walken, and James Earl Jones (totes).

As a gag, Hopkins actually did read from the phone book on Oprah.

That reminds me of this video, also featuring Morgan Freeman narrating (Skip to the 50th second)...

How about John Houseman via Robin Williams?
