Jason Scott Morgan

Jason is an Arkansas-based actor who is known for playing disturbed, eccentric and sometimes psychotic or manic characters. Jason's interest in the performing arts manifested at a very young age, beginning with his first production when he was cast as Santa Claus in a 2nd grade school play. Grade school and junior high productions gave way to high school theatre and his portrayal of Toto in "Christmas in the Land of Oz" (app. 1988). Jason moved to a new school in a different city during his senior year and, knowing no one there, once again delved into the theatre arts where he directed his first production, "Imagine".Post high-school, Jason received his first experiences on a professional film sets as a featured extra in Disney's "The Ernest Green Story" as well as "Stone Cold", both in the very early 90's. He then served in the United States Navy during Operation Enduring Freedom in the Intelligence field as a Cryptologist. He sustained a serious head injury during his tour and, unable to continue to his overseas duty station, received an honorable discharge. Jason stayed in Florida for some time after that where he began working as a nightclub DJ, and worked during MTV's Spring Break shoot at Club La Vela (1996). Shortly afterward he relocated back to Arkansas and held managerial positions in the retail and construction sectors before opening his own board and card game business in 2001.Around 2011, Jason's passion to act was reignited and he took a very small role in a local feature production that some friends were making ("Anyone"). That simple role created a sort of snowball effect, and Jason found himself involved with locally produced features and shorts with increasing frequency. In 2014 he was awarded "Best Actor" for his portrayal of a mentally challenged janitor in the 48 Hour Film "Now You See Me". His team went on to win "Best Film" for two consecutive years in the Little Rock 48 Hour Film Project, while he continued to seek out bigger and better projects and more in-depth training. Jason has performed recently on stage in productions of "Wait Until Dark" and "A Christmas Carol", and studied Meisner and scene breakdowns with Courtney Bennett.As of early 2018, Jason has added the HBO series "Quarry" to his resume, the feature film "Antiquities", an episode of "Cajun Court", multiple short films (including four projects for early 2018), and a 6-episode run as a series regular in "A (sort of) Normal Holiday", filmed for Sam's Club. He is currently slated to film "Road Trippin'" over the summer, and stays very busy with commercial and theatrical productions throughout his market area spanning from Georgia to Texas.
