Jason Scott Morgan
Biography
Jason received his first experiences on a professional film set in Disney's "The Ernest Green Story" and "Stone Cold", both in the 1990's. He served in the United States Navy as a Cryptologist, but sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury during his service and received facial reconstructive surgery at Pensacola Naval Hospital. He still has hardware in his face, with scarring and visible protrusions around his left eye. Staying in Florida for some time after that, he began working as a DJ under the moniker of Madd Maxx Morgann, 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 retail business in 2001.
Ten years later, Jason took a very small role in a local feature ("Anyone"), the first performing he had done in nearly 20 years, and found himself involved with locally produced features and shorts with increasing frequency. His team won "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" (Mike Talman), "A Streetcar Named Desire (as Stanley Kowalski)", "A Christmas Carol", "The Shawshank Redemption" (as Bogs Diamond) and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (as R.P. McMurphy).
