If you were not aware, Mr Morton has done audio books as well. I just finished The March by EL Doctorow and was astounded by how well he did.
I have always liked him as an actor. Always solid, even when the material wasn't, but as an voice talent he blew me away. This was a book about Sherman's March to the Sea, so he was doing soldiers and civilians, Yanks & Rebs, men & women, old people & children, slaves and slaveowners, rednecks & freemen, and a couple of foreign born charaters as well all with equal skill.
If you can find it in your library, by all means check it out. It is outstanding.

Thank you for the info. I do love his voice. I will have to try some of the audio books he has read. I usually don't do audio books, though, because it annoys the heck out of me when the reader does different voices and tries to act out the books. All I want from an audio book is for the information on the page to be conveyed in another form. I know what the voices of those characters sounds like in my mind, so it is truly irritating to have the reader trying to do each voice. I bought the bible(NASB) on cd and haven't been able to tolerate listening to it because the reader is putting on this voice(rather than just reading in a normal voice) and it irritates me too much. Anyway, I will give his audio books a try, if I can find one the subject matter of which interests me.

I'm currently listening to his audiobook for Ralph Ellison's
Invisible Man
and I love, love love it. At this point I wish a movie could be made of the book with him playing the unnamed narrator; he does Ellison's prose justice in such a way that it's almost scary.
