Stafford Morgan(1935-2018)
- Actor
Stafford Morgan was a handsome, commanding, and deep-voiced actor who
appeared in a handful of enjoyably down'n'dirty 70's drive-in
exploitation features. He first began acting in both films and TV shows
alike in the mid 60's. Stafford gave an especially fine and impressive
performance as enigmatic, levelheaded biochemist Dr. Ted Sorenson in
the nifty sci-fi doomsday thriller "The Alpha Incident." His other
memorable roles include corrupt cop Sergeant Kert in Jack Starrett's
funky blaxploitation blast "Cleopatra Jones," arrogant TV commercial
actor Alexander McPeak in Matt Cimber's deeply disturbing "The Witch
Who Came from the Sea," earnest game ranger Steve Garrett in "The
Capture of Bigfoot," and an ill-fated backpacker in the unjustly
maligned backwoods slasher romp "The Forest." Morgan had bit parts in
the mainstream pictures "Die Hard 2" and "Another 48 Hrs." Moreover,
Stafford Morgan made guest appearances on the TV shows "Gomer Pyle,
U.S.M.C.," "Daniel Boone," "Search," "Police Story," "Starsky and
Hutch," "The Dukes of Hazzard," "Hotel," and "Hunter."
