| Assessment | Randy does not really evaluate Morrison's work or character; he mainly narrates biographical details and a tragedy, while his moral warning is aimed at drugs rather than the actor himself. |
Michael David Morrison is the actor Randy Charles Johnson discusses in a short commentary video about As the World Turns. Randy says the actor played Caleb Snyder, gives a birth date of New Year's Day 1960 and a death date of February 18, 1993, and describes the death as a drug overdose; the transcript itself is inconsistent about the surname, also saying Morris and Morse.
Reported Death
Randy says an ex-girlfriend heard only that a soap-opera star had died of an overdose and immediately thought of him. He also says the actor was using drugs because he feared losing his job, though he presents that explanation as an apparent cause rather than a confirmed fact.
Closing Warning
The video ends as an anti-drug warning. Randy asks viewers not to do drugs and says they can kill you.
Source note: The transcript is internally inconsistent about the actor's surname, calling him Michael David Morris and Michael David Morse while the title uses Michael David Morrison. Randy also signals uncertainty with words like 'apparently' when discussing drug use.
