Biography

Morgan's passion for Chinese martial arts has been a driving force in his life for 15 years. At the tender age of 18, he made the bold decision to leave his homeland and relocate to China to pursue his dream of mastering Long Fist Kung Fu at the prestigious Beijing Sports University. His dedication and natural aptitude for the art form enabled him to rapidly ascend to the top of his class, earning him a coveted spot at the esteemed Shi Cha Hai sports academy, a training ground that has produced some of China's most accomplished Olympic athletes, including the legendary Jet Li.

As his skills continued to flourish, Morgan's passion for martial arts training remained unwavering, even as he began to explore other creative outlets. He landed roles in various Chinese historical dramas, TV commercials, and game shows, all while privately instructing himself in gymnastics under the guidance of Shi Cha Hai's experienced coaches. This multifaceted approach to his craft soon led him to develop a keen interest in film stunt work, as he was captivated by the thrilling combination of tumbling and feats of strength that martial arts stunts demanded.

Morgan's exceptional abilities and infectious enthusiasm did not go unnoticed, as he soon found himself working alongside two of the industry's most respected and iconic figures: Jackie Chan in "The Forbidden Kingdom" (2008) and David Carradine in "Last Hour" (2008). His impressive work ethic and versatility earned him a reputation as a highly sought-after martial arts actor in China, with a career spanning nearly a decade.

However, after spending nearly 10 years away from his loved ones, Morgan has recently returned to the United States, where he is poised to continue his acting and film career in Los Angeles. With his unique blend of martial arts expertise, gymnastic training, and extensive experience in film and television, Morgan is undoubtedly a talented artist with a bright future ahead of him.
