Don CheadleDon Cheadle showed the lighter side of his harrowing new thriller Traitor on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday night by switching places with the host's bumbling sidekick for a torture scene skit.

Cheadle appeared to be set for a beating at the hands of hardcore officials in the prison cell scene, but he brought in his chubby 'stunt double' Guillermo Rodriguez just before the first punch made contact.

Then the actor sat back, calling for more violence and wincing at the smackdown as the Kimmel show regular appeared to take a battering.

Sitting behind the camera, the Ocean's Thirteen star yelled, "Hit me harder... If you hit me in the liver I'll actually vomit... Right in the nose, right in the nose... Oh man, I'm getting my ass kicked."

Cheadle even stepped in at one point to show the brutes in the scene how to slap his double, and held up what he insisted was a picture of revered newsman Larry King naked as Rodriguez squirmed.

The skit ended with Cheadle slapping his stand-in with fish and then stating, "I want to amp this up a little bit; let's hook a car battery up to my nipples."

Rodriguez appeared to get his own back after the skit, kneeing him in the genitals during a friendly embrace. The Kimmel regular said, "I don't like fish!"
