Career

Morgan was discovered in a shopping mall at the age of six. A casting director saw him and asked his mother if she would be interested in taking him to an audition. He then appeared in several commercials for McDonald's and Cheerios and even was featured on a Life cereal box. He got his first break as Alec Mackenzie in the feature film "The Family Plan", which led him to appear in "Barney's Great Adventure". Morgan was given the lead role of Duke Cooper in "I'll Remember April". His co-star Haley Joel Osment was given the lead role of Cole Sear in "The Sixth Sense", where, in a dramatic reversal, Morgan played Cole's nemesis, a pretentious young actor. His latest film is Local Color where he plays an aspiring artist.

After the success of "The Sixth Sense", "I'll Remember April" was rushed to video due to Osment's role as Pee Wee Clayton. Morgan's picture was replaced by Osment's on the box for marketing purposes. Actor/director Mel Gibson, who was looking for several child actors to play his seven children in "The Patriot", saw Morgan and asked him to audition for the movie. He landed the role easily and played son Nathan Martin.

Morgan appeared in the films "Jurassic Park III" and "The Glass House" (2001). Among his most recent credits are "Empire Falls" as a menacing jock, the independent films "Mean Creek", "Off The Black" and "Local Color", and the baseball flick "Chasing 3000".
