C.W. Morgan Had Eight Acting Credits to His Name
Morgan's on-screen acting career began in 1991. He appeared in two episodes of Midnight Caller, where he played Al Haynie. The following year, he appeared as Rudy in the made-for-TV movie The Last of His Tribe.
We didn't see Morgan back on our screens for three years, until he appeared in an episode of Aeon Flux in 1995, playing the voice of Bargeld. However, his appearance on the show was short-lived, with IMDB only crediting him for one episode.
Nevertheless, in 1996, Morgan landed the role of Hank Loomis on Scream. His biggest scene in the movie was when he showed up to vouch for his son, Billy, as the police questioned him.
Morgan also appeared in the 1997 movie Metro and The Last Express. He then made a short comeback in 2000, appearing in Scream 3 and Nash Bridges.
However, Morgan hasn't been seen on our screens since, as he likely chose to live his life away from the public eye.
