Matt Moore

Matt Moore was an Irish-born performer and filmmaker who appeared in more than 220 motion pictures from 1912 to 1958. He grew up in County Meath and moved to the United States as a child with his siblings, several of whom also pursued acting careers. His first screen role came in the silent short Tangled Relations in 1912, and a year later he had a notable part in the drama Traffic in Souls. He played Hector MacDonald in the crime drama The Unholy Three (1925), a major success that year, and took the role of Stanley Wentworth in Coquette (1929), which was Mary Pickford's first talking picture. In later years he shifted to smaller character parts, and his last credit was an uncredited turn in the 1958 horror film I Bury the Living. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his film work.
