Thomas Morris(I)

Thomas Morris, born in Vienna (Austria) played his first lead in the movie "Meatgrinder" in 1989 while he was still studying acting at Franz Schubert-Conservatory. He played a lot of roles in theatre in his early professional years but his main focus had always been on movie acting. In 1992 he played his first part in the US in Jon Jost's low budget movie "The Bed You Sleep In" only two years after finishing acting school. In 1993 he was cast by Steven Spielberg as "Grun" in "Schindler's List", his first role in a major Hollywood movie, shot in Cracow, Poland. Since then he has played over a hundred very different roles in movies and TV productions both in German and English, ranging from a support role in "Das beste Stück", (2002) the most successful German TV comedy at the time, to the lead in the horror movie "Sky Sharks" (2020) in which he plays the mysterious character Dr. Klaus Richter at the ages of 30, 50 and 115 years. Besides his work in front of the camera he narrated a lot of audio books and radio plays, wrote several books and scripts and shot and directed a documentary on the German Artist Arndt von Diepenbroick.
