Morgan Freeman Discusses ‘The Gray House,’ ‘The Dinosaurs’ and His Legal Fight Over AI Voice

morgan freeman has been front and center this week, promoting a new eight-episode historical miniseries that premiered February 26 while also narrating a documentary series and warning that attempts to replicate his voice with artificial intelligence have prompted legal steps. The convergence of a high-profile premiere, television appearances and a legal posture against AI use has intensified attention on the actor’s long career and current projects.

The Gray House

The Gray House, a Prime Video miniseries that premiered globally on February 26, is an eight-episode historical drama co-produced with Kevin Costner. The limited series focuses on a female-led spy ring based in Richmond, Virginia, that supported the Union during the Civil War and highlights unsung heroines portrayed by Daisy Head as a socialite and Amethyst Davis as a formerly enslaved woman. The premiere has driven renewed publicity for the project and for those involved.

The Dinosaurs

Freeman is also the narrator of the docuseries The Dinosaurs and discussed that role in interviews this week. His narration work for the documentary drew attention on broadcast morning television and complemented promotion of his scripted miniseries, creating multiple simultaneous platforms for the actor’s voice and presence.

Morgan Freeman on AI and the Voice

As he promoted these projects, Freeman addressed efforts to use artificial intelligence to replicate his signature voice and made clear he is taking legal action—saying, “I've got lawyers. ” The legendary actor, who has starred in more than 100 movies across a six-decade career, emphasized that the pushback is active as AI tools attempt to imitate well-known vocal performances.

Tonight Show Appearance and Clint Eastwood’s Advice

On February 26 Freeman appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where the 88-year-old credited Clint Eastwood with an aging tip summed up as “Never let your old man in. ” Freeman and Eastwood have collaborated on three films—Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby and Invictus —and won Oscars for their work on the first two titles. During the interview Freeman also downplayed the mystique of his own voice, saying he does not view it as the extraordinary gift many others do.

Wider industry and market ripples

The conversation around Freeman’s voice intersects with broader AI scrutiny in markets and government. Nvidia’s fourth-quarter results are scheduled after the closing bell on Wednesday as AI concerns continue to grip markets, and President Donald Trump has ordered all U. S. government agencies to stop using Claude and other Anthropic services. Meanwhile, the entertainment landscape is adjusting to consolidation: after paying Netflix to end an acquisition deal, Paramount Skydance is now officially buying Warner Bros. Discovery.

Sports, health and pop-culture headlines running alongside Freeman’s week

Several unrelated headlines circulated alongside Freeman’s appearances. Sacramento has lost Zach LaVine, Domantas Sabonis and De'Andre Hunter to season-ending surgeries. The fallout from Team USA’s gold medal win last Sunday has been cited as diminishing goodwill for a figure identified only as Hughes. WWE SmackDown’s go-home show for Elimination Chamber stops through Louisville on Friday, Feb. 26, and one of the Seven Wonders of the World is slated to host two legends of combat sports this May. In baseball coverage, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman previewed Team USA and whether it can win its second-ever World Baseball Classic on an episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast. On a health note, waking at 4 a. m. with exhaustion or morning headaches could indicate obstructive sleep apnea, and commentators warned against common 2 a. m. mistakes that affect sleep.

What makes this notable is how a single high-profile performer’s promotional schedule and legal stance can overlap with larger currents—entertainment production, AI governance, market reactions and a busy sports calendar—creating a week in which cultural, technological and commercial stories converge around both individual projects and systemic shifts.
