If you're talking about the guy with a dozen or so lines who's at the center of the scene, sitting at the console with the other air traffic controllers around him, then no that's not Morgan Freeman.

Yes, that's the guy and I agree it isn't Morgan Freeman.

I also agree. Given that the credits have two Air Controllers listed, and the second guy to talk is the one I am considering, his credit reads Richard L Hawkins. I looked him up and he has under a dozen credits with no pictures. But it could be either as both have not updated their database entries.

In the Trivia section I believe it is stated tat all the all the air traffic controllers are actual air traffic controllers.
If Morgan Freeman had been in this movie it would have been pointed out once his career took off.

But if they were "real air traffic controllers", would they be acting in dozens of other films? Perhaps there were a couple actors and instead of extras, the balance were true controllers.

Sounds like him, looks a little like a younger Freeman, but is not him.

Bob Balaban looks more like Dreyfuss in Jaws than that guy looks like Freeman.
And, there's a guy later in the film that looks and sounds just like Carl Weathers - primarily because it is him.

There's also a guy in the crowd staring up at the end just as the mother ship is leaving who looks a lot like Roy Scheider
