Through his work onscreen and off-screen, he contributed to movies like the CW series In the Dark(2019), Babysitter(2015), and Girls(2015). Aside from this, the California native has worked on national ad campaigns for big brands including Sprint and Mcdonald’s.
His works can also be viewed on media platforms like Youtube where he shares episodes of Neurotics, a series that he writes and directs. While all this has made him a favorite among movie lovers, many are still curious about his life beyond the cameras and media captions.
Morgan Krantz was Born and Bred in California
As you would easily find, Morgan Mitchell Krantz was born on November 1, 1986, in Los Angeles, California. His mother is the actress Romy Walthall and Scott Krantz, owner of Wow Media Network. Also, his paternal grandfather is the legendary designer Harvey Louise Krantz.
Krantz grew up alongside two known siblings, Theodore Dudley and Isabella Israel whom he shares the same mother.
Regarding his educational pursuit, Krantz completed his High school education at a boarding school in a remote place in New Mexico. You may be wondering why he was sent to a faraway place which he described as located in the middle of nowhere with an airport three hours away.
It turns out that he was speeding out of control as a teenager and his godmother, Kelly Preston took it upon herself to take care of his schooling. He revealed that she often made trips to visit his school despite being a successful actress. When he graduated, she was one of the few people that made it to his graduation.
He Launched his Career Doing Adverts
Morgan’s entry into the entertainment world is not surprising considering that his mother is a legendary actress whose acting credits date back to the early 80s. Unlike Romy, Morgan started by doing commercials for some of the biggest brands like Sprint, Axe, Zune, Ford, Nikon, Mcdonald’s, and JCPenney.
As mentioned earlier, his father owns Wow Media Network, one of the most successful billboard advert companies based in LA. Thus, at this point in Krantz’s career, one may not be wrong to assume, he borrowed pieces from both parent’s careers.
Also, through his ad campaigns, he worked as an iPod silhouette dancer in two iPod commercials.
His Acting Career Added To his Fame
having appeared in several ad campaigns, Morgan’s acting soon stole the hearts of many when he started taking roles on screen. According to IMDB, the earliest credited role of the 5’10” actor was in The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley: The Case of the Mystery Cruise.
