Glenn Morshower (born April 24, 1959) is an American actor and an inspirational speaker. Known for his distinctive Texas accent, he is well known for playing military and law enforcement roles in both live-action and voice work, particularly Secret Service Agent Aaron Pierce in 24 and Colonel Sharp in the first Transformers film; he returned in future Transformers films as a different character known as General Morshower. Aaron Pierce was the only character (other than Jack Bauer) to appear in each of the first seven seasons of 24. He has appeared in many feature films and television series.

Early life and family

Morshower was born in Dallas, Texas, the son of Alan Jackson Bennett and Barbara Mae Bennett (née Phelps). He was raised Jewish, graduated from Hillcrest High School, and from the age of 12 acted at the Dallas Theater Center. The year after graduation from high school, in 1978 he married his high school sweetheart, Carolyn. He has studied with a Jehovah's Witness, attends a Religious Science church, and has taught at a Baptist church.

Career

Inspirational seminars

Since the late 1980s, Morshower has been a speaker at seminars. His speaking career began with his audition mastery course, The Extra Mile, which he took across the country on the advice of his agent. In the early 2000s, Morshower's speeches to actors about auditioning led to an invitation to speak at Exxon, and more seminars followed. Morshower prefers to describe his talk as "inspirational" rather than "motivational", and has said that he enjoys giving these speeches even more than acting.

Personal life

Morshower and his wife Carolyn have two children.
