Mike Morgan (actor)

Mike Morgan (1928 – 5 June 1958) was a British actor. His film acting debut was in the 1957 film comedy Barnacle Bill, which also starred Alec Guinness.

Morgan played a much larger role in another film with Guinness, The Horse's Mouth, as Nosey, a sidekick of Guinness' character Gulley Jimson. However, shortly before filming ended, he fell ill with meningitis and died before the completion of the film. As a result, many of his lines in the film were dubbed by another actor.

He was married to actress Elvi Hale until his death; she remarried George Murcell two years later.

    Mrs. Robinson, you’re trying to seduce me. Aren’t you?
    Calder Willingham, screenwriter, Buck Henry, screenwriter, and Mike Nichols. Ben Braddock (Dustin Hoffman)

    Pregnant women! They had that weird frisson, an aura of magic that combined awkwardly with an earthy sense of duty. Mundane, because they were nothing unique on the suburban streets; ethereal because their attention was ever somewhere else. Whatever you said was trivial. And they had that preciousness which they imposed wherever they went, compelling attention, constantly reminding you that they carried the future inside, its contours already drawn, but veiled, private, an inner secret.
    —Ruth Morgan (1920–1978)
