While making his West End debut as "Henry Antrobus" in Robert E. Sherwood's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, "There Shall Be No Night", he was spotted by Laurence Olivier, who cast him in his own production, Thornton Wilder's "The Skin of Our Teeth" (Phoenix Theatre, 1945), opposite Olivier's then-wife, Vivien Leigh.
A sea-lover who had lived in Hove, East Sussex, since 1958, Morgan ran
a small hotel there for 16 years and spent an increasing amount of time
as a property developer in Brighton and Hove, rather than taking acting
roles that would keep him away from his home and family.
