Biography
Morris was born in Massachusetts, and is the son of Julia Sheehan and documentary filmmaker Errol Morris. As a teenager he acted in television commercials, most notably a 2002 iPod commercial.[4] In 2008, Morris was featured in Vampire Weekend's music video, "Oxford Comma", playing the role of a film crew member.[5] Although much of his work focuses on science, he has been described as a psychonaut, the writer Daniel Pinchbeck called him "a mad scientist, chemical genius, alchemist on the hunt for the chemical elixir of consciousness."[6] He also has edited the "Weird science issue" of Vice magazine. In 2014 Hamilton co-authored a scientific publication on the history of the recreational use of dissociative drugs such as PCP.[7] He has studied for three quarters at the University of Chicago[8][9] and New School with anthropologist Nicolas Langlitz, and is currently working on a book about clandestine chemists.[10] Additionally, Morris is recognized as possessing a background in Judaism.[11]
