Biography: "Tom Morga has been a stuntman for over 20 years and a member of the Stuntmen's Association of Motion Pictures for over 15 years. He has worked in all aspects of the stunt business as a stuntman, stunt coordinator, in features and television, as well as music videos and live performances. Besides playing 'Jason' in Part V, Morga also had an uncredited role playing 'Michael Myers' in the first few scenes of Halloween 4.
When Tom was first starting as a stuntman, he met Wayne Bauer while doing the Universal Studios Tour, 'Stuntshow'. Since then, they have remained good friends while working professionally as stuntmen as well as in other aspects of the business. For five years they worked together in a video production business, producing video projects for cable TV, corporate industrial videos, and music videos. Now with the development of Feeding Time, Tom and Wayne will be working on their first feature project together." - Feeding Time Page

Quote: "When people ask if I ever really played Jason and I say, 'Yes!' When a person wants to know specifically, I say, 'It was Part V.' And they say, 'Well, that wasn't the real one.' And I say, 'Well, there was a couple of scenes where I was the real one.'
The audition was funny. They brought in a bunch of guys to do the scene at the beginning of the movie, where they uncover the grave and Jason is supposed to stand up and go after them. They had us all do these mechanical Jason moves to see how well we could get up, stand up and walk like Jason." - pg. 136, Crystal Lake Memories
