As an actress, Morrison recently completed season six as the star of ABC’s hit drama series Once Upon A Time where she plays Emma Swan. But she also recently wrapped production on Sony Pictures’ Superfly opposite Trevor Jackson.
The actress who will next be seen in the indie film Back Roads with Alex Pettyfer, Juliette Lewis and Robert Patrick has gotten critical praise for Sun Dogs which also stars Melissa Beniost and the Oscar nominated Best Supporting Actress from I, Tonya, Allison Janney. The film premiered at Savannah Film Festival to win Best Narrative Feature and then went on to win Best Picture and Grand Jury Prize at Mammoth Film Festival this past weekend.
Sun Dogs came after Morrison launched her own production company (Apartment 3C Productions) in 2016 following her work behind the camera directing first the short film Warning Labels — which premiered at Tribeca –– and then another short Wild Wild Horses.
Morrison’s other feature work as an actress includes Lionsgate’s feature Warrior, starring opposite Nick Nolte, Tom Hardy, and Joel Edgerton as well as the TV show House for Fox which garnered her a nomination for Oustanding Actress in a Drama Series from the Women’s Image Network. Additionally, Morrison had a notable arc on CBS’ sitcom How I Met Your Mother.
Morrison will continue to be repped by attorney Rick Genow at Stone Genow LLP.
