Now Recording: Garry Morris
Garry Morris holds the
dubious distinction of being the only actor to achieve the Triple
Crown of Quirky Audio Books as he returns to Straight to Audio
Productions to work on his third project. Listeners of the Series
first met Garry when he appeared as Jackie Wu in Jitters-A Quirky
Little Audio Book www.jittersaudiobook.com.
In Yikes! Another Quirky
Audio Book, Garry took on a vastly different role as the tough
talking New Yorker, Chet Waterhouse, www.yikesaudiobook.com.
For Gadzooks!, A Comically Quirky Audio Book, Garry will
serve as narrator, giving voice to Joseph Stratton, a polygamist who
addresses the audience from the comfort of his home in heaven.
Over the last several
decades, Garry had graced a number of stages. Garry received his
acting credentials from the prestigious London Drama Studio. These
days, Garry busies himself working as the Co-Artistic Director for
the Kayenta Arts Foundation. Thanks in large part to Garry's
efforts, Southern Utah will soon have a beautiful new venue for
plays, dance performances, lectures and concerts. The 10-thousand
square foot facility will open its doors in 2015
www.kayentaartsfoundation.org.
Just last month, the
American Motion Picture Society elected Garry to serve as its new
Board President. AMPS is a group that honors and promotes amateur
and non-commercial films as well as the people who create them. One
of the first items on Garry's agenda is to reinstate the group's
annual film festival to recognize amateur filmmakers from across the
globe www.ampsvideo.com.
Despite Garry's packed
schedule, he still finds time to explore some of of beautiful hiking
trails in Southern Utah. He also likes reading – mostly plays and
non-fiction books. One of Garry's more unusual interests includes a
love of stock car racing. Growing up on the Jersey Shore, Garry
spent a lot of time visiting the many racetracks in the area.
As an adult, Garry cast his
travel net even wider, visiting all the continents on earth. During
a visit to Africa, Garry had the opportunity to view the three
pyramids in Giza from the back of a horse. Garry saved the continent
of Antarctica for last. It was here that Garry discovered that while
penguins look cute, there's nothing cute about the way they smell!
In addition to his work as a
voice actor at Straight to Audio Productions, Garry also directed the
video shoot for Yikes! and will direct the new video for
Gadzooks! Stay tuned to hear and see what Garry has coming up
next!
