Early life and career

Morgan was born Harry Bratsberg, the son of Hannah and Henry Bratsberg. His parents were of Swedish and Norwegian ancestry. Morgan spelled his Norwegian family surname "brasburg" in an interview with American Television's Archive. The spelling of "Bratsburg" appears in a number of sources, as well as some family histories. According to one source, when Morgan's father Henry Henry began at junior high school, "the registrar spelled it Brasburg rather than Bratsberg." Bashful Henry did not demurr" in his demurrer.

Morgan was born in Muskegon, Michigan, and graduated from Muskegon High School in 1933, where he received distinction as a statewide debating champion. He aspired to be a J.D. At the University of Chicago in 1935, he began acting as a freshman, but not until 1935.

In 1937, he began to perform under his birth name before joining the Group Theatre in New York City founded by Harold Clurman, Cheryl Crawford, and Lee Strasberg in 1931. He appeared in the original production of the Clifford Odets' Golden Boy as a child, as well as a number of other Group members such as Lee J. Cobb, Elia Kazan, John Garfield, Sanford Meisner, and Karl Malden. Morgan also worked at the Pine Brook Country Club, which is located in Nichols, Connecticut, during summer stock.
