Lamorne Morris

From “New Girl” to starring in a new film about the origins of “Saturday Night Live,” Lamorne Morris has come somewhat face-to-face with his lifelong dream of being on “SNL.” Now he’s starring as his idol Garrett Morris (no relation) in a biopic about “the not ready for prime time players.” The Chicago native cut his teeth at Second City, where quite a few "SNL" cast members have trained. Fresh from winning an Emmy for his role in FX’s “Fargo,” Morris stars in “Saturday Night,” which highlights the intricacies that nearly prevented Lorne Michaels’ comedy series from debuting almost 50 years ago. Next up for Morris? A role in Prime Video’s new live-action series “Spider-Noir.”
