Michael Morrison

Michael was born in Huntington, West Virginia. An avid writer since childhood, his first experiences as an actor were at Marshall University in 1970, the year of the fateful airplane crash, as portrayed in Warner Bros., "We Are Marshall", in which Michael lost a dear friend. His early success on the University stage there, under the guidance and direction of Prof. Clayton R. Page, led to years of performances in regional and summer theatre, before catching the eye of Oscar-winning producer/actor John Houseman, who directed him in Los Angeles, and gave him his first screen role in "The Paper Chase". Michael's unique acting ability to truthfully portray characters well beyond his years onstage led to his repertoire of award-nominated and winning roles, such as silent star Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Big Daddy in Tennessee Williams' "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof", and more recently Hercule Poirot in Agatha Christie's "Black Coffee" and Mellersh Wilton in "Enchanted April".
