Charles R. Moore

Biography

Charles R. Moore was an American actor whose career took in more than 100 films, and he was at times credited as Charles Moore or Charlie Moore. Born in Chicago in 1893, he worked mostly in small parts: servants, bootblacks, elevator operators, menial laborers, and above all railroad porters and Red Caps. Moore belonged to the loose group of character actors that Preston Sturges relied on, appearing in six of the director's films. In Sullivan's Travels (1941), a chase scene sends his chef headfirst through the land yacht's roof, and in Meet John Doe his City Hall janitor scrubs a floor while attempting to smoke a cigar. He also danced, though his films rarely asked for it. He died in Los Angeles in 1947.
