Martha Kate Morgan has three older brothers and lives in Sydney, Australia. She been performing from a young age. She started taking ballet lessons when she was just three years old. It was Martha Kate's youngest brother, fellow actor Ned Morgan, known for Sleepwalking (2018) who got Martha into acting. Before even commencing kindergarten, Martha Kate tagged along to drama classes with him from the age of five, after he announced that he wanted to be an actor. At first this was just for fun, however two years later they both found professional representation. Martha Kate was quickly asked to audition for the Australian Federal government 'Respect' domestic violence television commercial. It was her very first audition and the role was a minor one, however she received a callback and was then given the lead role. This TVC was so successful that it ran for the next two years across the country. Pretty impressive for a first audition. Her second ever audition was for Causeway Film's successful short film, Grace (2018) and she won that role too. The film, staring Eliza Scanlen has been very successful at film festivals, screening at Cambridge, Flickerfest and on opening night at the St Kilda Film Festival in 2018. Martha has gone on to appear on stage in Sydney's Belvoir Theatre's production of 'Girl Asleep' playing Little Greta, which she says has been her favorite experience so far. To date, Martha has shot a total of 7 short films, as well as 5 television commercials. At the end of 2019, Martha and her brother, Ned traveled to the US to study under various acting coaches in Los Angeles with American Arts Film & Television Academy, LLC, run by Jessica Orcsik . Martha Kate is a top 10 finalist in the running to win the Carmen Duncan Scholarship, in honor of Jessica's aunt, the late Carmen Duncan In her spare time, Martha Kate enjoys horse riding, swimming, singing, playing with her pets and hanging out with her brothers.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
