Garrett Morris

Though Garrett Morris is best known as one of the original cast members of NBC's Saturday Night Live, he has appeared in numerous television shows and movies since the early 1970s (2 Broke Girls, Hunter, The Jamie Foxx Show, Martin, The Jeffersons, The Longshots, Carwash, and Cooley High).  

His musical roots go back to his youth starting as a church-choir singer. Trained at The Juilliard School of Music, and a graduate of Dillard University, he soloed with the Harry Belafonte Singers early on in his career and performed in a number of Broadway musicals (Hallelujah, Baby! and Ain't Supposed To Die A Natural Death).
