[edit] Career
Morgan was discovered in a shopping mall at the age of five. A casting director saw him and asked his mother if she would be interested in taking him to an audition. He then appeared in several commercials for McDonald's and Cheerios and even was featured on a Life cereal box. He got his first break as Alec Mackenzie in the feature film The Family Plan, which led him to appear in Barney's Great Adventure. Morgan was given the lead role of Duke Cooper in I'll Remember April. His co-star Haley Joel Osment was given the lead role of Cole Sear in The Sixth Sense, where, in a dramatic reversal, Morgan played Cole's nemesis, a pretentious young actor.
After the success of The Sixth Sense, I'll Remember April was rushed to video due to Osment's role as Pee Wee Clayton. Morgan's picture was replaced by Osment's on the box for marketing purposes. Actor/director Mel Gibson, who was looking for several child actors to play his seven children in The Patriot, saw Morgan and asked him to audition for the movie. He landed the role easily and played son Nathan Martin.
Morgan appeared in the films Jurassic Park III and The Glass House (2001). Among his most recent credits is Empire Falls as a menacing jock, and as Rocky on Mean Creek. Morgan appeared on the television series, ER, where he played cancer victim Scotty Anspauch for five episodes. For this role he garnered a 1998 SAG Award along with the main cast members of the show.
