About Kieron Moore

There is a unique, almost poetic path that young English actor Kieron Moore has followed to arrive at this moment in time. Not as an aspiring novelist or visual artist, but as a poet who found verse at the young age of 10 to be such an important part of his life that he once compared it to breathing.This fall, Moore will be seen in his first starring role in the highly anticipated Peacock streaming series "Vampire Academy," based on the hugely popular young adult book series by Richelle Mead. Moore plays Dimitri Belikov, a Dhampir guardian and lethal, disciplined bodyguard to the ruling Moroi. The series was filmed on location in northern Spain and in Lisbon, Portugal.Before realizing acting was his true passion, Moore was a competitive boxer for 12 years, all the while writing poetry which was ultimately an outlet for his emotions. His verse provided a spiritual balance to the physicality and toughness required in the sport. Once he decided to pursue an acting career at the age of 21, Moore began modelling, seeing it as a steppingstone toward acting. While modelling prepared Moore to work comfortably in front of a camera, he credits his acting coach Mark Hudson of the Manchester School of Acting (more of a mentor than teacher) with saving his life in gifting him with the career he loves.That career began with a 17-minute 2019 short called "Birthday Girl," which played at a handful of global film festivals (Liverpool, Cork, Palm Springs among them) and earned director-writer Portia A. Buckley several awards. He followed that with his role in another award-nominated short - "Cold Blow Lane," for director Luca Homolka.In addition to these early career opportunities, Moore will appear later in the year in the Tom Hanks/Steven Spielberg-produced Apple+ series, "Masters of the Air," directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga. Based on the actions of the U.S. Army's Eighth Air Force during World War II, the miniseries is the third in Hanks' World War II trilogy that also includes "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific." Moore previously appeared on television with an arc in Netflix's "Sex Education."Moore says his newfound craft provides him with a deeper understanding of his feelings while also offering a special appreciation of the art of writing, whatever the medium. As a poet, he is a lover of language and a devoted reader who is inspired by his favorite writers - French playwright Jean-Paul Sartre; England's metaphysical poet, John Donne; and French-Cuban-American novelist Anaïs Nin. While Moore kept his poetry private for most of his life, he has recently begun sharing his work publicly and plans to publish a book of his verse.An avid photographer, Moore takes pictures in order to capture time; to make moments tangible. Perpetually grateful for the life he leads, photography has been a way to process his experiences....
