Samuel L. Jackson appeared on Los Angeles morning show KTLA on Monday, where he was expected to promote his new film Robocop, but the 65-year-old actor suddenly switched up his agenda after anchor Sam Rubin confused him with Laurence Fishburne.
And it's safe to say a simple "I'm sorry" was not a satisfactory response in Jackson's book.
The mistake occurred when Rubin asked the Pulp Fiction star about the reaction he received in response to his recent Super Bowl commercial. However, Samuel didn't actually appear in the Matrix-themed Kia commercial…Laurence Fishburne did.
Watch video below:
"You're as crazy as the people on Twitter," the actor said, shaking his finger at Rubin. "I'm not Laurence Fishburne!"
Despite Rubin's attempt to apologize, Jackson continued, gleefully taking the anchor to task on live television.
"We don't all look alike! We may be all black and famous but we don't all look alike!" he said as Sam throws his hands in the air.
"You're busted. You're the entertainment reporter?! And you don't know the difference between me and Laurence Fishburne? There must be a very short line for your job," Jackson said, clearly not holding back (but also having what looked to be a bit of fun at Rubin's fumble).
