# Quote 1 [after appearing in thirteen 'Boston Blackie' pictures] After that, a producer wouldn't put me in an 'A' movie even if I paid for the privilege. The only thing I could do was get out and go back to the theater.
# Fact 1 According to director Edward Dmytyk, who worked with Morris on "Confessions of Boston Blackie," the actor hated stunt work but loved performing magician's card tricks between takes. 2 Morris' maternal grandparents looked after the two DeMille boys William C. and Cecil B. when their parents were on tour. 3 The Boston haircut where the hair was combed straight back over the crown and cut level at the back was a popular style in the 1940s. The style was made famous by the character of Boston Blackie, played by Chester in 14 films, and it's thought that this is the origin of the name. 4 His younger of two sons, Kenton Morris, tragically died at age 61 on September 11, 2008, while piloting a private plane. His mother was Morris' wife, Lillian. 5 Brother of actor Adrian Morris and writer Gordon Morris . 6 In 1952, received the deathbed confession of his friend, Roland West , for the murder of Thelma Todd in 1935. 7 Starred as the title character on NBC Radio's "Boston Blackie" (1944). 8 Was appearing in a stage production of "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial" at the Bucks County Playhouse at the time of his death. 9 Son of actor William Morris .
