Greg Morton

In 2019, Morton auditioned for America's Got Talent's 14th Season. He gave an introduction saying that he also did impressions for action figures and was also an announcer for a department store. After the intro, he did a few Star Wars impressions. The audience was stunned by a few of them, including when Luke Skywalker's arm got sliced off, an impression of Ewok, Jabba the Hut, Emperor Palpatine, and finally, Chewbacca, which made the audience stand up on their feet. Howie Mandel, Julianne Hough, Gabrielle Union, and Simon Cowell all voted "Yes," sending Greg to the Judge Cuts. Morton's Judge Cuts performance consisted of performing impressions of characters from various movies, like Jurassic Park, E.T., Godfather, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, and even Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story. Mandel, Union, Hough, Cowell, and guest judge Ellie Kemper gave him standing ovations. Morton's performance was strong enough to advance to the Quarterfinals along with Marcin Patrzalek on a unanimous verdict. His Quarterfinals performance consisted of performing more impressions of characters from various "animated" movies, including Lion King, Aladdin, Shrek, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and even Terminator and Heath Ledger's Joker. The judges all gave him yet another standing ovation. He received enough votes to advance to the Semifinals in Episode 1412 along with Messoudi Brothers instead of Bir Khalsa. Finally, Morton's Semifinals performance voices of famous cartoon characters, including Looney Tunes, Flintstones, Shaggy & Scooby-Doo, and Bobby from "Bobby's World", which surprised Howie Mandel. The four judges and guest judge Sean Hayes gave him a final standing ovation. It was then that Morton did not receive enough votes to advance to the Finals, eliminating him from the competition instead of Kodi Lee.

He subsequently became a probation officer in Fort Worth, Texas. As of 2002, he was also officiating high school football games in the Fort Worth area.

In 2001, Morton was inducted into the Summit County Sports Hall of Fame.

In 1975, Morton started 11 of 12 games at the defensive tackle position for the 1975 Michigan Wolverines football team that played in the 1976 Orange Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 8 in both the AP and UPI polls. Morton compiled 107 tackles and 11 sacks for 58 yards in 1975 and was selected as a first-team All-Big Ten player. In December 1975, the Associated Press published a feature story focusing on Morton's fondness for exotic flora, including a Purple Passion plant that Morton had named Claudine. The Los Angeles Times dubbed him "Michigan's Plant Man."

In 1974, he started all 11 games at the defensive tackle position for the 1974 Michigan Wolverines football team that held its opponents to an average of 6.8 points per game.

After playing a reserve role in 1973, Morton was a starting defensive tackle for the Wolverines in 34 of 35 games from 1974 to 1976. Despite being only 6 feet, 2 inches, and 225 pounds, Morton became one of the best defensive linemen in the college game. Bo Schembechler called Morton the "quickest, most aggressive tackle in America," and added, "He's super quick, reacts like a cat and is surprisingly strong."
