As Keegan Baker on EastEnders, Zack Morris made an impression that will live on, but now he’s taking on a Hollywood leading role in the Disney+ series Goosebumps.
Zack Morris, an EastEnders star, is heading to Hollywood and has already landed a major part.

The 25-year-old actor is back on our televisions in Goosebumps, a brand-new spooky series from Disney+ and Hulu.

Based on the beloved R.L. Stine book series from the 1990s, Goosebump stars Zack as high school quarterback Isaiah Howard, who discovers himself in the middle of a nightmare when strange things start happening to his friends.

The group discovers that they are all trapped in their own terrifying tales after breaking into a haunted house where a horrible death occurred 30 years earlier.

The group must cooperate to defeat the evil present because strange supernatural forces are at work.

Isa Briones, Rachael Harris, Justin Long, and YouTube sensation Miles McKenna join Zack on the cast of Star Trek: Picard.

One of Zack’s first significant roles since leaving EastEnders in 2022 is in Goosebumps, which also marks his first significant break in the US.

On EastEnders, Zack was well-known for playing Keegan Butcher-Baker, a problematic bully of Walford High who joined the show in 2017.

Keegan gained popularity over the course of the next five years as he developed and revealed his more vulnerable side, ultimately getting married to Tiffany Butcher (Maisie Smith).

Keegan was last seen leaving the Square after his sister Chantelle (Jessica Plummer) passed away.

In reality, Zack made the decision to leave the venerable soap opera in order to pursue other employment opportunities.

Goosebumps may have started a career in the United States that would change the game, so it appears to have worked as well.

Zack has unfortunately been unable to discuss his new role because of the ongoing Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike in the US.

In honour of Friday the 13th, Disney+ dropped the first five episodes of the 10-episode run in one go.

During that time, the show took inspiration from the books Welcome To Dead House, The Haunted Mask, Say Cheese and Die, The Cuckoo Clock of Doom and Go Eat Worms.

After breaking into the haunted house, Isaiah picks up a camera that predicts potentially deadly events – leading him to find out more about Harold Biddle, the teenage boy who burned to death in his basement.

Viewers already know that his parents are somehow connected to what happened, but the truth is yet to come out.
