With that impish, gap-toothed grin, nervous bundle of energy, Robert Morse could never be contained long enough to become a film star. The live stage would be his calling. He made his debut with the musical, "On the Town", in 1949, and trained with 'Lee Strasberg' .
Has won two Tony Awards: in 1962, as Best Actor for "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," a role he recreated in the film version, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying ; and in 1990 as Best Actor (Play) for "Tru," a one-man show in which he played Truman Capote and a performance he recreated on television as "American Playhouse" {Tru (#12.1)} . He was also nominated for Tony Awards three other times: once as Best Supporting or Featured Actor , in 1959 for "Say, Darling;" and twice as Best Actor , in 1960 for "Take Me Along" (an Award won by co-star Jackie Gleason ) and in 1973 for "Sugar.".

Most actors have been fired during their career.
One never knows how loyalty is born.
