Morgan Freeman

Morgan Freeman has played God in *Bruce Almighty* and the President of the United States in *Deep Impact*, but he says portraying Nelson Mandela in *Invictus* was the most intimidating role of his career. "If you don't get it right and you tried, everyone will know you were trying," he says. "And they're going to compare you." Morgan explains that Mr. Mandela has not seen the film yet, but would probably be gracious in his critique. "He's not going to say if I missed it," Morgan laughs. "He's just too much of a gentleman. He would probably say, 'No, you did a wonderful job.'" *Invictus* is Morgan's third time partnering with director Clint Eastwood. "I know exactly what he wants from me as a director," he says about Clint, whom he also worked with in Best Picture Oscar® winners *Million Dollar Baby* and *Unforgiven.* "I knew what he wanted from me the first time we worked together, because he hired *me*; so what he wants is what *I* do." Tune in to see what Morgan has to say about another of his Oscar®-winning co-stars, Jack Nicholson! **Only online!** Will there be a sequel to *The Dark Knight*?
