He was a graduate of RADA and winner of the Forbes-Robertson and Kendal prizes. Morris frequently appeared with the Royal Exchange, the Bristol Old Vic and the Royal Shakespeare Company. His many successes on stage included Professor Godbole in "A Passage to India" (1960) and Pozzo in "Waiting for Godot" (1980.)
