Morgan West(I)

Morgan West began his acting career in the typical fashion: performing in school productions and community theater.

Born and raised on the outskirts of Cleveland, Ohio in the small All-American suburb of Fairview Park, Morgan grew up loving movies and playing sports. He attended Fairview High School and it was here where he was first bitten by the acting bug - when during his freshman year he auditioned for the school play on a whim and was cast in a leading role. More productions soon followed, garnering the attention of local drama teachers who cited his natural talent and encouraged him pursue a career in the performing arts. Acting, vocal and dance lessons soon followed as he set his sights on auditioning for a competitive college conservatory program.

His passion and drive took him to New York City where he received his BFA in Drama from NYU's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts. In NYC, he excelled on stage, performing to critical acclaim Off-Broadway and beyond - but NYU's Stonestreet Studios had introduced him to performing for film and television. The screen - not the stage - then became his focus; West soon began auditioning for films and television series, eventually moving to Los Angeles, California.
