Despite many valiant attempts, it's hard to replicate the deeply soothing, iconic voice of Morgan Freeman. His voice may be instantly recognizable, but imitating the delivery of his slow, southern tone is not something everyone can pull off gracefully.
Comedian Frank Caliendo's impression of Freeman is spot-on, though; he proved it earlier this week on ESPN's talk show Mike & Mike. Speaking in Freeman's famous drawl, Caliendo read LeBron James' dramatic "Coming Home" letter, in which he announced his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

To top off the mood, Caliendo read the letter to the theme song of the classic 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption, in which Freeman co-starred and narrated.
LeBron's letter originally appeared in the July 11 edition of Sports Illustrated. While the original copy was certainly moving, we think that Caliendo just improved it drastically.
