Kevin Spacey plays Jack Abramoff, the former lobbyist/businessman who defrauded Native American tribes affiliated with casinos. Meeting the real Abramoff influenced the actor in an unexpected way, Spacey said on
'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (weeknights, 12AM ET on ABC). The 52-year-old was "suprisingly charming, very funny and does impressions," which explains why Spacey included several in the film.
He then demonstrated his impressionist skills with a spot-on Morgan Freeman imitation: "Morgan Freeman," he began in low, soothing tones, "sounds almost god-like. He can be talking about almost anything. And if he takes just the... right amount of... pauses, it can sound a little like poetry."
