Jason Scott Morgan

Jason Morgan is a bold, grounded actor with a powerful screen presence and a story to match. He got his start on professional sets in the 1990s with roles in Disney's The Ernest Green Story and Stone Cold, but his path has been anything but conventional. A former U.S. Navy Cryptologist, Jason sustained a traumatic brain injury during service, resulting in facial reconstructive surgery-an experience that shaped not only his life but the raw emotional depth he brings to every role.After leaving the military, Jason worked as a DJ (including MTV's 1996 Spring Break at Club La Vela), managed in both retail and construction, and launched a successful board and card game business. In 2011, after a nearly 20-year break from performing, he returned to acting with a small role in the indie feature Anyone. The spark reignited, Jason quickly established himself as a versatile, reliable talent in independent film and theater.Since then, he has amassed many film and television credits, earned consecutive "Best Film" wins with his team in the Little Rock 48 Hour Film Project, and gained millions of views with NukaZooka's viral YouTube project. His stage work has been equally commanding, with standout performances in Wait Until Dark (Mike Talman), A Streetcar Named Desire (Stanley Kowalski), The Shawshank Redemption (Bogs Diamond), and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (R.P. McMurphy).In 2025, Jason can be seen as Master Morris in Freedom's Path (Amazon Prime), as well as in Hellfire with Harvey Keitel, Dolph Lundgren, Johnny Yong Bosch, and Stephen Lang. He appears in Chicago PD (Episode 1019) and plays key roles in upcoming features Ick, Good Time Charley, and Sovereign.Jason is a director's actor-versatile, emotionally accessible, deeply prepared, and a collaborative force on set. He's the kind of performer who elevates a scene, supports his fellow cast, and shows up fully, every time.
