I was not a huge fan of 'Another Gay Movie' but I did enjoy watching cutie Mitch Morris. What was fascinating about Morris, is in this film he played the cute geek (with an exceptional behind...). I remembered Mitch from his short story arc on Queer as Folk playing Cody Bell, an intense and violent character who was a vigilante for gay rights and went after those he saw as harassing gay men. It was such a different role, that seeing him in this comedy made me admire him as an actor. Certainly two totally opposite roles.
Mitch Morris (born October 15, 1979) is an American actor. His full birth name is John Mitchell Morris.

Morris was raised in Portland, Texas. He graduated from Gregory-Portland High School in 1998. As a trumpet player, he was offered a music scholarship to the University of North Texas, but turned it down to study Radio, Television and Film. After moving to Los Angeles, he first appeared as a model in an ad campaign for American Eagle Outfitters. Soon after, he began making guest appearances on shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, ER and Presidio Med.
In 2003, Morris made his stage debut in the LA revival of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated play Summertree. He then led the "pink posse," as Cody Bell on Showtime's Queer as Folk before playing CIA tech-genius Ken Watkins on Jerry Bruckheimer's E-Ring. Morris can also be seen in the police drama, Honor.
Morris played the role of Griff in Todd Stephens' sex comedy, Another Gay Movie, which made its world premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. Morris has a B.A. in Psychology from California State University, Northridge and is currently attending law school in Philadelphia at Villanova University School of Law.
