Mike Morgan(1929-1958)
- Actor
Morgan was in the spotlight for only about a year, making his film
debut in "Barnacle Bill" in 1957 which starred Alec Guinness. From
there, he got a more prominent role the following year as Nosey in
another Guinness film, "The Horse's Mouth." He had the last line of the
film. While it looked like his career would take off, he was stricken
with meningitis in late May 1958 during post production and passed away
June 5th. In scenes shot but requiring follow up dialogue work, his
voice was dubbed by another actor. Director Ronald Neame said in a 2002
interview that, in later viewings of "The Horse's Mouth", he was unable
to discern which dialogue was Morgan's and which was the mimic.
