Eric Morris is an actor, director and writer, who, in a seven-decade career, has played over one hundred roles in theater, film and television. He has been teaching his unique system of experiential acting for more than sixty years.

He has an iconic reputation in many parts of the world, and his influence on actors is demonstrated on stages and screens everywhere. Besides his personal work in the field, he served as an associate professor in the film school of the University of Southern California, educating young directors on how to communicate and elicit meaningful and organic performances from actors.
