Brad Morris

Brad Morris knows exactly when he was first bitten by the acting bug. At age six, he went to see "Dr. No" at a theater in his hometown of Johannesburg. Sean Connery's screen debut as James Bond so mesmerized the boy that he decided, right then, that acting would be his dream job. But first, there were other obligations. He finished school and fulfilled South Africa's mandatory requirement of two years service in the military. After qualifying as a drill instructor and marksman in the army, Morris left a cushy administrative job to become a bouncer in nightclubs. Already a trained and gifted martial artist as a young man, Morris learned to box and combined his skills for success as a professional kickboxer. A prolific talent agency took notice and booked Morris for small roles on television and in American action movies being filmed in South Africa.
