'''John Chester Brooks Morris''' ([[February 16]], [[1901]] - [[September 11]], [[1970]]) was an [[United States|American]] actor.


==Music video==
Chester Morris is most famous for his role in the ''[[Boston Blackie]]'' detective series of the 1940s. He was a dark, handsome, firm-jawed actor who appealed to both men and women for his confidence and good-natured humor.
The video for "5000 Ones" premiered on Rap City on [[November 16]], [[2007]]. T.I. is not physically present in the video due to his arrest.


The video includes cameos from [[Jazze Pha]], [[Swizz Beatz]], [[Mr. Collipark]], [[Gorilla Zoe]], [[Jim Jones]], [[Webbie]], [[DJ Khaled]], [[Project Pat]], [[Fabolous]], [[Young Dro]], [[Freeway]], [[Timbaland]], [[Flo Rida]], [[Raekwon]], [[Diamond (rapper)|Diamond]] and [[Princess (rapper)|Princess]] of [[Crime Mob]], [[Rasheeda]], [[Jermaine Dupri]], [[E-40]], [[The-Dream]], [[Rick Ross (rapper)|Rick Ross]], [[Juelz Santana]], [[Big Kuntry King]] and [[Freekey Zekey]].
==Career==
Born in [[New York City]], the son of actor [[William Morris (actor)|William Morris]].
He made his Broadway debut at 15 in [[Lionel Barrymore|Lionel Barrymore's]] ''The Copperhead''. At 17 he billed himself as "the youngest leading man in the country". His film career began in [[1917 in film|1917]] in ''[[An Amateur Orphan]]''.


== Remix ==
Throughout the 1930s, he effortlessly switched between tough guy and slick debonair love interest roles. Morris was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Actor]] for ''[[Alibi (1929 film)|Alibi]]'' (1929) directed by [[Roland West]]. He also starred in ''[[The Bat Whispers]]'' (1930) and ''Corsair'' (1931), both directed by West. ''The Bat Whispers'' was notable as one of the first films to use the "Magna Screen" [[70mm film|70mm]] process. [[Sound film]]s were just taking hold at the time, however theatres were not willing to pay for the added expense of 70 mm projectors and larger, wider screens on top of the cost of sound equipment. The process was abandoned until the 1950s, when film studios used it to lure customers away from their TV sets.
Recently, there has been an idea to make a remix of the song to include [[Nelly]], [[T.I.]], [[Yung Joc]], Willie the Kid, [[Young Jeezy]], [[Sean Combs|Diddy]], [[Twista]], [[Lil Wayne]], [[T-Pain]], [[Lil' Ray]], [[R. Kelly]], [[Ludacris]], [[Busta Rhymes]], [[Flo Rida]], [[Royal Flush (rapper)|Royal Flush]], [[Bone Thugs-N-Harmony]], [[Bizzy Bone]], [[Fat Joe]], [[Murphy Lee]], [[Ali (rapper)|Ali]] and [[Birdman (rapper)|Birdman]].{{Fact|date=June 2008}} There was rumor that [[Flesh-n-Bone]], [[DMX]] and Chris Notez would be on the remix, but this is undecided. Quite obviously, this is all bullcrap!!{{Fact|date=June 2008}}


==References==
Perhaps his finest role was in the early prison film ''[[The Big House (film)|The Big House]]'' ([[1930 in film|1930]]), which was a huge success and propelled his career. His career gradually declined in the late [[1930 in film|1930]]s, with roles in [[B-movie]]s such as ''Smashing the Rackets'' ([[1938 in film|1938]]) and ''[[Five Came Back]]'' ([[1939 in film|1939]]). His career was revived during the 1940s when from 1941 to 1949 he played the character [[Boston Blackie]] in 14 movies (all produced by [[Columbia Pictures]]) and one season of radio shows.
<references/>

Through the 1950s and 1960s he worked mainly in TV with occasional forays into regional theatre. After his last Boston Blackie movie, he only performed in three more movies, including his final role in ''[[The Great White Hope]]'' ([[1970 in film|1970]]).

Morris was dying of cancer when he committed suicide in room 202 at the Holiday Inn of New Hope by taking an overdose of [[barbiturates]] in 1970. At the time of his death, he was appearing in a stage production of ''[[The Caine Mutiny Court Martial]]'' at the [[Bucks County Playhouse]] in [[New Hope, Pennsylvania]].
