Early in his career, Morrison played a minor role in episode "Cause to Kill" in the TV series Taggart in 2005.[3] Morrison again linked up with Taggart creator Glenn Chandler eight years later, playing Peter Sutcliffe in Chandler's controversial stage play, Killers.[4][5]

More recently, Morrison co-wrote and starred in the horror short Bed and Breakfast, which earned positive reviews including praise as "polished" and "enjoyable" by WeAreIndieHorror.com.[6][7] His dramatic skills were also utilized in Harder, an educational film used in a Medics Against Violence and the Scottish Government joint program to help professionals recognize signs of domestic abuse.[8]

Throughout his career, Morrison has acted in more than 18 movies.
