With some experience in vaudeville and stock companies, in 1912 Morrison became one of the Vitagraph company's first matinee idols, starring in countless one and two-reel melodramas and remaining with the company for six years. He returned to Vitagraph often as a freelance actor as well, appearing for the company as late as 1924, when he played Jeremy Pitt in "Captain Blood". He retired from the screen the following year. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
