Morris is the son of actor Greg Morris (1933–1996) and Leona Keyes. He is also the younger brother of actress Iona Morris. He is a practitioner of Wing Chun under Shifu Hawkins Cheung.

Morris's first acting role was as a child in the 1966 Star Trek episode "Miri", filmed at Desilu Productions, the studio that also produced Mission: Impossible, where his father worked. He made his feature film debut in a small role in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and later guest-starred in Babylon 5, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager. In the mid-1980s, Morris portrayed law student (later attorney) Tyrone Jackson in The Young and the Restless. In the 1990s, after starring in Andriana furs commercials Morris played a recurring character, the Johnnie Cochran-inspired defense attorney Jackie Chiles, in the comedy series Seinfeld. He had observed Cochran for years at a shared Los Angeles barber shop and said the attorney was flattered by the portrayal. The episode "The Abstinence" depicts Chiles suing a tobacco company, which Morris said he took great pleasure in, having been made fun of his whole life due to having the same name as the tobacco brand Philip Morris. Morris also co-starred in the 1980s revival of Mission: Impossible as Grant Collier, son of Barney Collier, the character his father had played in the original series. He grew up watching the original series and regarded its lead, Peter Graves, as a mentor and friend until Graves's death in 2010. He voiced Dr. Sweet in Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) and its 2003 sequel Atlantis: Milo's Return. He guest-starred as a college professor in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and played Dr. Clay Spencer in Girlfriends. In 2007, Morris began portraying Martian Manhunter in Smallville. Morris, a longtime DC Comics reader, said his familiarity with the character helped him win the role, and the producers used his more mature presence to ground the series. He returned to the role through the seventh, eighth, and ninth seasons, including the episodes "Absolute Justice" and "Checkmate". As a voice actor, Morris voiced the villains Imperiex in Legion of Super Heroes, and Vandal Savage in Justice League and Justice League: Doom. He voiced W'Kabi in the animated series Black Panther. He appeared in one episode each of the series CSI: Miami and Seven Days. Morris also was the voice of Paul the Apostle in Zondervan's The Bible Experience. Morris made a cameo appearance as Miles Dyson in photographs in the television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. He provided the voice of the character Doc Saturday in the animated show The Secret Saturdays. He also played a major supporting role in the PlayStation 2 game Ratchet: Deadlocked, as Merc, one of the combat bots that accompany the main character Ratchet. He also voiced characters in The PJs. According to Morris, he stood in for co-creator and star Eddie Murphy when Murphy was unavailable. Morris voiced Hansen and Glenn in the animated film Dead Space: Downfall. He played Delroy Jones in the TV One series Love That Girl!, Saint Walker in the Cartoon Network series Green Lantern: The Animated Series, and Ultra Richard in the Cartoon Hangover series SuperF*ckers. From 2019 to 2023, Morris played the scientist Silas Stone, father of Cyborg, in the DC Universe and HBO Max series Doom Patrol. A lifelong comic book collector, he said he based the performance on the Cyborg comics and other DC titles rather than earlier screen portrayals. In 2025, he reprised the role of Jackie Chiles for the music video of Ice Nine Kills' Joker-themed single "The Laugh Track".

Morris has been married to interior designer Carla Gittelson since 1983. They have two children.
