Eureka as a chance to redeem himself for sins of a complicated past.

Joe Morton appeared in "American Gangster" with Denzel Washington and the independent film "Badland," for which he also composed and performed a song entitled "The Devil's Lonely Fire." He costarred with Jamie Foxx, Jessica Biel and Sam Shepard in "Stealth"; "Paycheck" with Ben Afleck and Uma Thurman; "Ali" with Will Smith; "Dragonfly" with Kevin Costner; and "Bounce," again with Ben Afleck and Gwenyth Paltrow.

Film audiences perhaps best know Morton as "The Brother From Another Planet," directed by frequent collaborator John Sayles, or as the ill-fated scientist in "Terminator 2 - Judgment Day." Morton's film credits include "Lone Star," "City of Hope," "Speed," "Executive Decision," "The Astronaut's Wife," "Blues Brothers 20000," "Tap" and Gary Sinese's "Of Mice And Men" in which he portrayed Crooks.

Morton was a Tony-award-nominee for his portrayal of Walter Lee Younger in the musical "Raisin." He played Serge in the hit Broadway play "Art," with Judd Hirsch and George Wendt, and was honored to be asked to join the company in London, where the show originated. Also in London, he portrayed Colin Powell in the critically acclaimed "Stuff Happens" by David Hare. Morton's stage career has roots in the original production of "Hair."

Television audiences have enjoyed Morton's starring roles in the series "Equal Justice," "Under One Roof," with James Earl Jones, and "Tribeca" (for which he also directed an episode). He plays recurring roles on "Smallville," "The Practice" and "CSI: NY." Morton has turned in noteworthy performances as Malcolm X in "Ali: An American Hero"; the award winning cable feature "Miss Evers' Boys" and spectacular guest star turns in "The X-Files" and "House." Morton was also featured in a recurring role on the series "E-Ring."

Morton is now pursuing various writing and directing projects, his screenplay "Strangers" having been selected to participate in the Urban World Film Festival.

He resides in New York City.
