For his voice, I’m looking for an older, smoky-sounding voice and maybe a West Virginian accent.

Morgan Jones is a main character and a survivor of the outbreak in The Walking Dead. He is also the protagonist of the Morgan Special. He and his son Duane are the first people met by Rick post-outbreak, while also being responsible for filling him in the details how to survive in the new world.

Morgan and Duane hid in various houses in the Cynthiana area, attempting to ride out the apocalypse. They stay behind as Rick leaves to find his wife and son. Months later, after losing his son to the undead, a broken Morgan joins the group, while trying to cope over his losses.Nothing is known about Morgan's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that he had a wife and a son named Duane. He probably lived in Cynthiana, Kentucky. Before meeting Rick Grimes, Morgan was an initial survivor of the outbreak along with his son and wife. His wife died from the zombie fever and subsequently turned into one.

Morgan starts as a devoted and caring father to his son Duane. After the loss of his wife, Morgan always tried to protect Duane in the harsh apocalypse and maintained his humanity. He saves a lost and confused Rick Grimes and helps him to survive before they part ways. Unfortunately Duane would eventually be killed by a walker, causing Morgan to lose his sanity. He is unable to put his son down and instead keeps him chained up in his house. When Rick reencounters, Morgan is completely desperate and mentally unstable. He has a tendency to break down at the topic of his son or anything that reminds him of him. After joining Rick's group, Morgan exhibits signs of severe mental illness and self-harming behaviors. After joining Alexandria, Morgan is still very uneasy and can't move on from the death of his family. He and Michonne become close to the point of having sexual intercourse. However, Morgan become hesitant about the relationship after thinking about his wife. This angers Michonne, though later the two come to an understanding of each other. Morgan attempts to engage in conversation with Carl many times to re-live his relationship with his dead son, which only garnered uncomfortable reactions from the latter. Morgan is one of the only people to know that Carl killed Ben, something he keeps to himself. Noticing Carl's hardened and cold-blooded nature, Morgan tries to act as a mentor figure for him as he tried to be for own son, even accidentally calling him Duane by mistake. While on his death bed, he advises Carl to retain his humanity and to be strong.
