Career
Baker has appeared in several TV movies including The Society Murders,[1] Underbelly[2] and The King.[3] He also starred in the 2006 Tropfest Film Festival top 16 finalist Goggles.[4]
In 2014, Baker left Neighbours to concentrate on his studies.[5] He has since made brief returns in 2015,[6] 2017[7] and 2019. He again reprised the role for the Neighbours “finale” in 2022, and also returned in 2023 for the opening episodes of the series revival.
A keen chef, Baker has said that if he doesn't succeed in acting he would like to appear on Ready Steady Cook.[8] In light of this, he temporarily produced a cooking series documented on Snapchat titled Shake and Bake with Morgan Baker, that ran from 2014 to 2015, before experiencing a hiatus and returning in 2016. The theme song was composed by musician Oliver Ryan.
In July 2018, Baker appeared as the Generation Z guest competitor in season 5 of game show Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation.[9]
