Morgan Davies (born November 7, 2001) is an Australian actor most known for his roles in Evil Dead Rise (2023) and One Piece (2023).

Early and personal life

Davies grew up in the Sydney suburb of Rozelle with a single mother. Davies has become an advocate for transgender rights and has publicly talked about his battles with depression as a teenager and his stage fright. He came out as transgender to a small number of close family and friends at age 13, but did not publicly come out until 2020.

Career

Davies began his career as a child actor at age 7, starring as Brittany in the 2008 movie Green Fire Envy.

His breakout role was in the 2010 Australian-French film The Tree, and his performance received multiple award nominations.

In 2015, he starred in and assistant directed the short film The Boyfriend Game.

He played Madeline in the 2019 Australian movie Storm Boy alongside Geoffrey Rush and Jai Courtney.

He starred in the 2020 television series The End as Oberon, a trans teen in the process of gender transition. He initially turned the role down due to not feeling comfortable playing the character while still struggling with his own gender identity, but later decided to accept the role.

Davies portrayed one of the main characters, the teenage boy Danny, in Evil Dead Rise, the 2023 installment of the Evil Dead franchise.

He plays the role of Koby in One Piece, the 2023 live-action adaptation of the manga of the same name.
