Biography

Morgan has dedicated the past 15 years to the pursuit of Chinese martial arts.

At the tender age of 18, he made the bold decision to relocate to China, where he enrolled at the prestigious Beijing Sports University.

During his time at the university, Morgan mastered the art of Long Fist Kung Fu, showcasing exceptional skill and dedication, as he rose to the top of his class in a remarkably short period of just a couple of years.

This outstanding achievement earned him a coveted spot at the esteemed Shi Cha Hai sports academy, a renowned training ground that has previously nurtured the talents of legendary figures such as Jet Li and numerous Chinese Olympic athletes.

As Morgan continued to hone his craft, he simultaneously pursued his passion for acting, taking on various roles in Chinese historical dramas, TV commercials, game shows, and more.

This exposure led to the discovery of his aptitude for gymnastics, as he began training privately under the guidance of Shi Cha Hai instructors.

As his interest in gymnastics grew, so did his fascination with film stunt work, which demanded impressive tumbling and feats of strength.

Morgan's exceptional abilities and unwavering enthusiasm did not go unnoticed, as he caught the attention of esteemed industry professionals, including the legendary Jackie Chan and David Carradine, with whom he collaborated on projects such as "The Forbidden Kingdom" (2008) and "Last Hour" (2008).

As a highly sought-after martial arts actor in China, Morgan's career flourished, but after nearly a decade of being away from his loved ones, he has recently returned to the US to continue his acting and film career in Los Angeles.
