Wole Soyinka Shares How He Gets Mistaken As Hollywood Act, Morgan Freeman-photos by muchroom(op):
A proudly Nigerian son and torchbearer, Wole Soyinka is 86 today. Here is his experience of how he gets mistaken as Morgan Freeman at times.

As an internationally renowned artist, Soyinka is much-sought. He described numerous commitments, so many that, he explained, he enjoyed sometimes being mistaken for Morgan Freeman:

"You lose your anonymity. You lose your leisure. There is always a demand for one reason or another. In fact, things get so bad, I actually feel happy when I'm mistaken for Morgan Freeman... People come up to me and say 'You must be the writer. No, Morgan Freeman! Can I have an autograph?'... It got so bad one day, that I had to sign Morgan Freeman for a family until they would leave me alone because they refused to accept. They were describing in fact a film I'd acted in, and they said, 'How did you manage to get one woman. You were on that sign, and then you appeared on the other, in a totally different mood.' I said, 'Well, you know, we get trained for these things.'"

Morgan Freeman is the star of movies like Shawshank Redemption, Invictus, Angel has fallen, Wanted, Lean on me, Dark Night, Oblivion, Just getting started and many more.

No source? They share some semblance though.

If they were to act as a twin in a movie, the only factor that might differentiate them would be voice.
