## Biography

Adrian Morris (12 January 1907 – 30 November 1941) was an American actor of stage and film. Born Adrian Michael Morris in Mount Vernon, New York, he was the younger brother of actor Chester Morris. As a child he performed with his family in a vaudeville act. He moved to Hollywood in 1929 and began appearing in films the following year.
