Gig Morton was born in Comox, British Columbia, Canada. His mom is a
nurse and his dad is a builder/building inspector. He is the youngest
of four children. Having three older sisters, who were entertained by
most things he did, made Gig a natural performer. Gig got his start as
a young actor when he appeared in four consecutive Walt Disney hit
"Buddies" franchise movies. These include "Air Buddies", "Snow
Buddies", "Space Buddies" and "Santa Buddies," Gig has also appeared in
television series such as "Psych" for the USA Network, and "Fear
Itself" for NBC. Reluctantly tagging along with his older sisters to
audition for a stage production of "The Wizard of Oz", the
seven-year-old Gig, soon found himself in the show. It became obvious
that performing was natural for Gig. He went on to study acting in
Nanaimo, and Vancouver, B.C. Gig has enjoyed working with many
accomplished actors. He played opposite Nicole Eggert in the cable
feature "Past Lies." Gig had a lead role in "Christmas Town" opposite
Nicole de Boer. "Christmas Town" is the story of a little boy who is
trying to rekindle the spirit of Christmas in his mother. The role was
significant for Gig because he got to play a little boy who believed
anything was possible. Working with Lou Diamond Phillips in "The Angel
and the Badman" was another great experience for the young actor. In
December of 2009 Gig worked with noted actor Callum Keith Rennie on an
episode of "Shattered." Gig enjoyed being part of all 80 episodes of
Mr. Young, seen on YTV, ABC Spark, Disney XD and Cartoon Network. It is
amazing for Gig that he has fans from all over the world. Growing up,
Gig studied Guitar, Tap Dancing, Ballet, Hip Hop Dance, Musical Theatre
and Singing. He passed grade 5 levels of Speech and Dramatic Arts
through Trinity Guildhall in London. Always interested in learning, Gig
continues to take dance, and Parkour in Vancouver, while working and
auditioning. When Gig has free time he is always researching and
learning. One of his passions is science, specifically astronomy. Gig
enjoys nothing more than getting out his telescope on a clear night and
searching the sky for a glimpse at the wonders of the universe.
Above all, Gig loves to entertain people and help them forget their troubles for a while.
