Morgan Freeman the gardener?

In the trivia section it says that Morgan Freeman is Charlie the gardener.
Does anyone really think that? It doesn't look like him, it doesn't sound like him. Maybe it is him, but I'm thinking no way.

I would bet my eye sight that the star of Shawahank Redemption(1994), did not play Charlie the Gardener in The American President(1995)!!!!

You would lose. In the trivia section it says its him.

Then it must be true! ;-)

Charlie the Gardener was played by Augie Blunt. He looks and sounds nothing like Morgan Freeman.

I actually came to IMDb to see if it was him. I'm watching the movie now on my phone and thus can't see who it is on a tiny screen. But the voice sounded just like Morgan Freeman. I skimmed the list of actors and didn't see his name so I assumed it was someone else who has a voice just like Morgan Freeman. I didn't see the trivia section.

So short answer: yeah I'd believe it was him based only on the voice.

Forgive me for asking, but why on earth do you bother?
If you can't see enough to tell who's who, how do enjoy the movie?

Unless you're in your car, then by all means, watch the smaller screen;
watching on a laptop would be downright dangerous!

I checked his list of acting credits and this movie is not listed so it is likely a mistake in the trivia section.
