Robert Morley: An Australian Acting Star
Early Life and EducationRobert Alfred Morley, born on December 20, 1984, in Kyneton, Australia, is the youngest of four siblings. With Filipino and Irish-Australian heritage, Morley grew up in a small town with his family. Despite losing his father at a young age, Morley's mother ensured that her children had access to their passions. Morley's interest in acting blossomed in his school years with the encouragement of his mother.
After finishing high school, Morley moved to Melbourne to study geological engineering at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). However, after a year of studies, he realized that his true calling lay in acting. Morley enrolled at La Trobe University to pursue his passion. While studying, he signed with an agent who provided roles in university theater productions.
Acting Career: Breakthrough and Success
Morley's talent was recognized during a production of "Angels with Dirty Faces." Producers of the long-running soap opera "Home and Away" spotted Morley's potential and invited him to audition for the role of Drew Curtis. His performance earned him the Logie Award for "Most Popular New Male Talent" in 2007. Morley starred in 148 episodes before leaving the show in 2008.
After "Home and Away," Morley appeared in the crime drama "The Strip" but its low ratings led to its cancellation after one season. In 2010, he starred in an episode of "Sea Patrol" and returned to the horror genre in the film "Wrecker."
The Hundred: Rise to Stardom
In 2013, Morley landed a pivotal role in The CW's sci-fi drama "The 100" as Bellamy Blake. The character of Bellamy, a fiercely loyal and complex individual, has been a fan favorite since the show's inception. Morley's portrayal earned him the E-ONLINE's "Alpha Male" award and a Teen Choice Award for "Choice Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Actor."
Personal Life
Unlike his rugged on-screen persona, Morley is a charming and private individual. He has kept his relationships discreet, although he has been linked to actresses Jessica Tovey, Jane Gosden, and Arryn Zech. In 2016, speculations about a romantic relationship with his "The 100" co-star Richard Harmon surfaced, but its nature remains unclear.
