According to a longtime friend of the actor, Jack Morris, who appeared as Lt. Morris in the made-in-Japan cult classic The Green Slime (1968), passed away last night, September 20. He was 84.

John Robert Morris was born on April 29, 1940, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Mr. Morris moved to Japan in 1967 and eventually returned to Canada in 1972. Mr. Morris spoke extensively about his memories making The Green Slime in my 2021 interview with him, which you can find here.

He is survived by his wife Kyoko, as well as his children James, John, and Mika. 

Rest in peace to a friendly gentleman. Sincere condolences to Mr. Morris' family and friends.
