Star Info: Even though he's been involved in some 800 videos as performer, director and writer over his 12-year career, Jonathan Morgan thinks AVN was premature for inducting him into the Hall of Fame’s Class of 2003.
"Would I say Jonathan Morgan should be inducted into the Hall of Fame? No. Do I think in time I will make an impact in this business? Absolutely. Have I achieved it yet? No.
"That's why I wouldn't put me in: I've made some sparks. I've raised some eyebrows. But have I made an impact? No, I have not," he continues. "I plan on it, but I'm three, at the outside five, years from making that impact, becoming somebody who has revolutionized what the adult business is. I think my best work is ahead of me. All I could think of is: 'What have I done to piss somebody off to have me get into this thing?'"
Like many people, Morgan entered the adult business by chance. In his case, it was a competition with his roommate: "About 12 years ago, me and my roommate were in our early 20s, throwing parties constantly. And we lived right next to a high school and a college, so we had an abundance of young folks nearby. We had this one party, the theme was either ‘Hawaiian’ or ‘Don't vomit on my couch’ and somebody brought in a movie, and the scene happened to be with Tom Byron and Ginger Lynn. My roommate remarked that Tom Byron looked just like your average Joe. 'And if he could do it, I could do it.' And I said 'I could do it before you could do it,' and a competition erupted."
"My roommate sent pictures - I don't know where he sent them - and I took the box that the movie came in, turned it around, saw who made it - Vivid Video - and I called them and asked them if they were looking for male talent," Morgan recounts. "They said, ‘You don't call us, you call World Modeling.’
"Six months later I did a photo shoot with Ron Vogel. Ron mentioned that if I ever wanted to do movies, he knew a couple of directors. Between calling Jim South and Ron, finally Paul Norman was sitting on Jim’s couch. I guess Jim said, 'Please hire this guy so I don't have to listen to him any more.'
"I went on Paul Norman's set, got through the movie, and then in walked a director who from 1990 to 1993, was the most productive director in this industry - Jim Enright. Paul Norman introduced me to Jim Enright and he said 'Jim, you gotta use this guy - he can act.' Next thing you know, I'm on a Jim Enright movie. We struck a friendship, and you couldn't separate us. He liked the way I act. I liked the movies he made. We were a team. For three years, I was, like, in every one of his movies. Then we started to collaborate on the writing, and that produced some great movies, like Haunted Nights. It is a direct result of Jim Enright that I am the actor, the talent and the man that I am today."
Although he entered adult by chance, Morgan had been working in front of audiences for some time. "In college, I did film and theater. I was paying my way through college by doing stand-up comedy," he recalls. "When I was doing standup in the late '80s, it seemed like if you were a comedian, you were getting a sitcom on TV. They were giving them out by the droves. I figured, 'Who needs school? I'll get me a sitcom. They pass 'em out when you get off the bus.' It didn't quite happen that way. I always had the entertainment bug in me."
He can count off the AVN Awards he's won on his fingers, including Male Performer of the Year which he took home in 1994. Asked what he's proudest of, Morgan smiles and says, "Double Feature! [Produced by Wicked Pictures, Morgan’s home for the past few years, Double Feature! won AVN’s Best Sex Comedy honors in 2000 among its ten AVN Awards that year.] Right place, right time, everything that could go right did go right - that was that movie. Everyone, down to the PA's and the guy who cleaned the cum off the towels, everyone cared because it was such a team effort. We slept on the sets. It was done with excitement and love. I truly believe that there's more of that magic. I just have to find it."
After all this time, he’s still a fan and still happy to be in adult.
"I've been a fan since the day I turned 18 and I was able to get my first adult magazine," he says. "Here I am, 36, still watching it and still checking it out. I'm a huge fan. I loved [Antonio Passolini’s] Cap'n Mongo."
"It saddens me when people leave the industry and they leave by bashing, instead of praising," he notes. "Whenever people ask me, 'How can you do what you do?,' I say, 'Thank God I'm doing what I do.' I love the people, I love the business. It's the greatest career choice I could have ever made. My father used to say, 'Never do anything that you don't love.' I'm achieving it. I achieved the dream that I always wanted.
"I'm the fan who got lucky."
Even though he doesn’t think he belongs in the Hall of Fame.
Yet.
