Morris
Actor - Writer - Filmmaker
About MeI am an American actor, writer, and filmmaker from Greenwich, Connecticut. I am currently based in New York City but am also available all along the East Coast from Portland, Maine to Key Largo, Florida. I am incredibly comfortable on film sets because of my time producing and directing my own work. I will graduate from New York University Tisch Drama this May 15th, 2024. I am majoring in Drama with a double minor in Producing and Business of Entertainment, Media, & Technologies (B.E.M.T). I studied at the Experimental Theatre Wing and Stonestreet Studios for On-Camera Acting.
When I was as young as 8 years old, I borrowed my dad’s old tape camcorder and started filming short home movies. I grew up involved in a heap of sports like football, soccer, lacrosse, basketball, wrestling, squash, skiing, rowing, and even figure skating. Nevertheless, I could always be found performing on stage and or shooting my own short movies in my backyard.
By my Junior year of high-school, I declared I would either attend New York University or find my way out in the world otherwise — luckily it was the former. The Experimental Theatre Wing taught me the fundamentals about performing and the artistic skill necessary to act. Stonestreet Studios, my advanced training, revealed secrets and styles to utilize the given circumstances when captured by the camera.
When I am not volunteering in theatre spaces or auditioning, I spend my time devising and writing my own scripts for a reliable, self-sustaining stream of work. I lean towards dramatic and realistic work that captures the pivotal moments of being human. Although, I have a sweet spot for magic-realism and situational comedy. I pull from my own experiences and appreciate the humor in everyday life.

Mission Statement:“I enjoy cathartic work — both dramatic and comedic — that touches on family, friendships, and masculinity. I create moving emotional pieces that are bound to the reality we live in today.”
“Adam is a delight to have in creative co-learning spaces. He takes creative labor just as seriously as nuts and bolts work and, because of that, I have found that his writing can often come out beautiful and uninhibited. Adam can fully trust the process.
Adam made facilitating a brave space easy, never shying away from hard topics while remaining aware of the humanity of the people in the room. I think this kind of attitude and demeanor is essential for building a world that is better day by day.
I wholeheartedly recommend Adam, for the care he takes, the quality of his creative endeavors, and the dignity with which he treats others.”
