I'm posting the means by which I discovered his sons' names, because they are not mentioned in any article of him, and I don't want people thinking I made them up. After reading an interview in which he said his twin sons were toddlers at the time of the 1994 Earthquake, I went to an online database of the California Birth Index. I found records for two males born on the same day in 1991 in Los Angeles County: Benjamin Bowditch Morse and Samuel Wheeler Morse-- Wheeler being the middle name of Morse's wife, and Bowditch being his own middle name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.193.141.160 ( talk) 19:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
I recall from the St. Elsewhere days that his character was given the nickname "Boomer" as an in-joke, since Morse had tried out for (and failed to get) the lead in Here's Boomer. Nothing found with an online search, though, connecting him to the show in any way. Maybe somebody has an old TV Guide? -- Dhartung | Talk 09:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Anyone think David Morse is type cast as a jerk or sadistic creep? Just look at his recent films or television shows. He plays the bad guy that is unyieldingly unsympathetic. Even "Dancer in the Darkness" showed him as a jerk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.140.69 ( talk) 18:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Note: Just because IMDb is not a reliable source doesn't mean you have to remove all references to it, but you should seek better sources to augment it and confirm what it says. IMDB is better than nothing-- WP:RS/N has discussed just how far to trust it many times. Jclemens ( talk) 15:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
In July 2014 I spotted David Morse's handprint and autograph imprinted into the concrete plaza beside the
Palais des Festivals et des Congrès (uncharitably known locally as "le bunker") in
Cannes, the primary venue of Le Festival International du Film de Cannes, the
Cannes Film Festival. I realize that this is considered "original research" and I can't imagine finding a published reference to it (maybe in the local
Nice Matin newspaper if I could recover the date). It was particularly memorable to me because I was a member of the Boston Repertory Theater (a volunteer, actually) along with Dave in the 1970's.
