## Life[edit]

Born to a British father and a French mother, Tom Morton grew up in London, where he attended the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle. He first began acting whilst still at school, taking the lead in plays by Sacha Guitry and Jean Giraudoux.

After high school, he moved to Scotland to pursue a degree in History and Languages the University of Edinburgh. However most of his time was spent between the walls of the Bedlam Theatre in the heart of the city. From 1999 to 2003, he acted in numerous plays, including Jean Anouilh's Beckett, Harold Pinter's A Slight Ache, Tom Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound and Alan Ayckbourn's Confusions; he also ventured into directing, producing, and writing for the stage, adapting and directing Eugene Ionesco’s Exit the King, Kafka’s The Trial, and Bacri-Jaoui’s Cuisine et Dépendances (Life,Love and the Kitchen Sink).

In 2004, he relocated to Paris, where he trained at the Cours Florent with Lesley Chatterley. His first feature film role would come in 2008, when director Isabelle Mergault cast him in her second feature, The Merry Widow, alongside Michèle Laroque and Jacques Gamblin.

He reunited with Mergault in 2008 for the play Croque Monsieur [1]by Marcel Mithois, in which he played Nicolas, first at the Théâtre des Variétés, and then on tour in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. He made another appearance in Isabelle Mergault’s third film, Donnant Donnant.

In November 2009, he won the Best Actor Award at the Paris 48-Hour Film Festival for his role in the short film Blister Boy.

In 2009, Tom Morton translated Marivaux's The False Servant into English [2], which was performed on tour in the UK by Compagnie BordCadre.

In 2011, he appeared alongside Rossy de Palma in Christian Faure (director)’s The World at Her Feet[3], playing Olivier, the assistant to the Machiavellian agent Caroline Fox.

Alongside his on-screen work, Morton also works extensively as a voice artist across a wide range of genres.

Video game fans will recognise him from his turn as seedy nightclub owner Floyd [4] in Quantic Dream's Detroit: Become Human, as well as appearances in Humankind (video game), Welcome to ParadiZe, Solasta, Styx: Shards of Darkness and Bound by Flame.

He has lent his voice to bumbling policemen (The Pirates Next Door), German volcanoes in lederhosen (Paprika (Animated Series)), and angry drill sergents (Arthur and the Children of the Round Table.

He was also the host of the hugely popular Spotify Original Podcast, Real Pirates[5], as well as many international campaigns from brands like Guerlain, Issey Miyake & Azzaro.
