Jonathan Morgan
Morgan's Sex Project Scene 7
Jonathan Morgan wants everybody to know he's back—and the 2009 AVN nods prove it. That sharp-tongued comedy "Fired" pulled three noms, including Best Sex Comedy, Best Actress for Carmen Hart, and Best Supporting Actress for Katie Morgan, while his all-out fuck-fest "Se7en Deadly Sins" earned Best Vignette Release, Best Art Direction, and Best Anal for Eva Angelina riding Tom Byron's pole. The guy's proved he can flip between funny and filthy without missing a beat, whether he's calling the shots or clipping the frames; the same razor-sharp cuts that landed him Best Editing nods on stuff like "Operation Desert Stormy" are still making viewers whip their heads around. Comedy ran in his Wicked Pictures debut, too—his very first scene before the camera landed in their raunchy comedy line, and "Haunted Nights" snagged him AVN gold for Best Non-Sex Actor plus Best Screenplay. He jumped behind the lens in '93 with the gonzo trailblazer "Reel Sex World," then grabbed Wicked's attention directing Serenity in "Crazed," a flick that won him Best Screenplay honors at the '98 AVN show. After that, he steered "Indigo Delta," another Editor's Choice winner; Tom Byron picked up Best Actor for it and everyone agreed Morgan was unstoppable. In '98 he signed the exclusive contract that moved him into Wicked HQ full-time, and the laughs kept rolling. "Double Feature" dropped in '99, landed ten AVN trophies including Best Director and Best Actress for Serenity, and suddenly Morgan was the king of big-budget porn spoofs. He piled on more comedies: "Bride of Double Feature," "Hercules," and "Caught in the Act." The last one repeated the Best Comedy win in 2001 and gave Serenity her second straight Best Actress crown—an industry first. Then came the three-hour cosmic clown-car "Space Nuts," which snagged him another Editor's Choice sticker and even crashed the box-office party by popping up in Universal's "The 40 Year Old Virgin." Yet the real crown jewel remains "Camp Cuddly Pines Power Tool Massacre," a chainsaw-and-cleavage slasher parody that hauled five AVNs in 2006—Best Sex Comedy, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress for Stormy Daniels, Best DVD and Best DVD Menus. It went on to win everywhere else, too, and the flick still gets name-dropped like it was made by actual Hollywood. He never hung up the acting boots, either; his non-sex cameo in Michael Raven's "Becoming Carmen Hart" scored a 2007 Best Non-Sex Performance nom. Refusing to coast, Morgan kept pushing limits with titles like "Julia Ann: Hardcore"—watching the blonde bombshell switch to brunette and tackle every first on camera—and the slicker Kaylani Lei joints "Next" and "Carpool." Now the fresh laurels for "Se7en Deadly Sins" and "Fired" scream that the veteran gag-master is once again the flavor of the month. With that shiny stack of 2009 nods in his pocket, Jonathan Morgan sits exactly where the jokes (and the cum-shots) say he belongs: on top.
