After matriculating from high school, David went to the William Esper Studio in 1971 to study acting. His first opportunity came at the Boston Repertory Theatre where he appeared in a production of “The Point!” The production would eventually start touring, and it led to his big break in “St. Elswehere”, in which he played Dr. Jack “Boomer” Morrison. Following the end of “St. Elsewhere” in 1988, Morse took more roles that showed his versatility, including “Desperate Hours”, “The Green Mile”, “Hearts in Atlantis”, and “The Indian Runner”. During the 1990s, his career really took-off, and he starred in more films, most notably “The Rock” with Nicolas Cage and “Contact” alongside Jodie Foster. He then appeared in the television film “Hack”, which was so well received that it led to a series of the same name. He then appeared in “Shuang Tong” and “Disturbia”, which continued to earn him critical acclaim, and improve his net worth.
In 2006, he had a recurring role in the hit series “House”, and despite his early reservations, he would go on and earn an Emmy nomination. Two years later, he appeared in the series “John Adams” portraying George Washington, and was again nominated for his performance; his voice is still used by Disney to portray Washington. In 2010, he made a guest appearance in “Treme”, and was then signed to a regular role the following season. A few of his recent projects are “World War Z”, and “Concussion” which also starred Will Smith. David has also appeared in several television and movie adaptations of Stephen King’s works. Interestingly, he is the only actor to have portrayed both Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.
Despite numerous opportunities in film and television, David remains very active on stage and has even won numerous awards for his performance in the off-Broadway production of “How I Learned to Drive”. He has also appeared in a production of “On the Waterfront”, and in Conor McPherson’s “The Seafarer”, contributing further to his net worth.
For his personal life, since 1982 Morse has been married to Susan Wheeler Duff who’s well known for being the author of “The Habit”. They have three children, two of whom are twins and they currently reside in Philadelphia, moving there after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. Aside from these, it is known that he is allergic to various forms of sugar.
