Marina Morris(VI)
- Actress
Long before Marina spoke her first words, she was already telling stories-through play, expression, and imagination. Performing came as naturally to her as breathing, so it was only fitting that she began auditioning at an early age. At just four years old, she joined CPM Talent Management, embarking on a journey that would see her light up screens both big and small.
Over the years, Marina has brought her charm and depth to a variety of commercial, industrial, and print campaigns. In 2018, at the age of nine, she landed her first lead role as Kayla in *Dinner*, a poignant short film directed by Hangcheng Xu. In 2025, she portrayed Layla, the lead in *She Said So*, a film by Madeline Clayton. This project was honored as one of the top ten selections in the Anora Short Film Contest, supported by NEON, Kodak, and acclaimed filmmaker Sean Baker.
Marina is training in the Meisner technique (2023-) under the guidance of Tony Savant at Playhouse West, where she is the youngest member in an adult class. She has also studied with respected coaches Donald McKenna, Jill Stern, and Amy Gossling, continuing to refine her craft with dedication and grace.
Home for Marina is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she lives with her loving family-her parents, older sister, a spirited dog named Coco, and a mischievous cat named Oreo. When she's not acting, Marina enjoys riding her bike, swimming, coloring, spending time with friends, and diving into the world of video games.
