biographyIn the early 1950s, Moore made a couple of films in Hollywood: David and Bathsheba (1951; with Gregory Peck and Susan Hayward) and Ten Tall Men (1951; with Burt Lancaster, Gilbert Roland, Gerald Mohr, and Mari Blanchard). But neither film was a runaway success, so Moore headed back to Britain to continue acting in films. Although Moore acted in numerous costume dramas and several comedies, today he is best remembered for the horror and science fiction pictures he made during the second half of his film career, including Satellite in the Sky (1956; with Lois Maxwell), Doctor Blood's Coffin (1961; with Hazel Court), Day of the Triffids (1962; with Howard Keel and Janette Scott), and Crack in the World (1965; with Dana Andrews and Janette Scott). |

Moore made a few appearances on other television programs before throwing in the towel in the early 1970s. Afterward, he took a position with the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development and concentrated his efforts on shooting documentaries of the downtrodden's plight. In the early 1980s, he became associate editor of for The Universe, a Catholic newspaper published in Great Britain. Moore retired in the mid 1990s to France, where he passed away on July 15, 2007, at the age of 82. He was survived by his wife, a daughter, and three sons. |
