Early life and career
Morris was one of nine children born to Becky (née Levine) and Morry Steinberg.[3] An elder brother, Wolfe Morris, was also an accomplished actor.[4] His grandparents were from Kyiv and escaped the Russian pogroms, arriving in London in about 1890. The family moved to Portsmouth at the turn of the 20th century. Aubrey attended Portsmouth Municipal College and RADA. His first stage appearance in 1944 was at the Open Air Theatre, Regent's Park in The Winter's Tale.[5] From 1954 to 1956 he was at The Old Vic and appeared on Broadway.[6]
Film and television
Morris featured in over fifty films; a notable early role was as Thorburn, the oddball pornographer running a Soho bookshop in John Gilling's science fiction thriller The Night Caller (1965).[7] His better known films include Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971), Woody Allen's Love and Death (1975),[2] Ken Russell's Lisztomania (1975),[2] and Gene Wilder's The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (1977).[2]
He also appeared in many television programmes, his debut being in a BBC production of the comedy Fly Away Peter (1948).[1] Television appearances include The Champions (1968), as Van Velden in episode 2, "The Invisible Man". Although most of his television appearances were in Britain, such as Z-Cars and Lovejoy, he also made some appearances in US productions, such as the Columbo television movie Ashes to Ashes (1998)[8] and the Dennis Miller horror film Bordello of Blood (1996).[9]
