About Shenita Moore

Shenita (King) Moore was born a "military brat" on an air force base just outside of Miami, Fl in the mid 70's. When she was just 12 years old, her family settled in a quiet suburb of Albuquerque, NM. It was in Albuquerque that Shenita began her acting career. She worked in stage productions throughout high school and college; enjoying a short stint at New York University Tisch School of the Arts, before returning to the southwest, to pursue her Theater degree at the University of New Mexico.In the fall of 1997, Shenita made the move to Los Angeles, CA with a group of fellow actors. Upon her arrival, she quickly submersed herself in the local theater scene, did background work and acted in student, independent and short films. After securing her first commercial agent, it was her work in the 1999 BabyCal commercial that gave Shenita's acting talent to a larger audience. While being a 30 second spot, the performance was demanding, very touching, and came with an immediate response. It proved to be the California Prenatal Program's most effective outreach. The BabyCal spot rolled into radio where Shenita's voice-over talents were discovered. The campaign aired for three years, and was her first taste of fame, as people would often stop her on the street to discuss the commercial's impact.With a professional career that expands over 25 years, Shenita has seen most of her success happen on the small screen: in a coveted recurring role on the ABC hit drama Grey's Anatomy (2005) (in its early years) and co-starring roles on multiple television shows, such as Pam & Tommy (2022), Bob Hearts Abishola (2019), The Rookie (2018), The Lincoln Lawyer (2022) and American Crime (2015), to name a few.In years past, Shenita has used her influence to raise funds for various local non-profits. In 2017 she saw the launch of her own Los Angeles non-profit called Children's Clothing Giveaway, Inc, which provides new and gently used clothing for children and their families, free of charge. CCG is a partnership effort with her husband Todd Moore and is described as "the link between those who want to give and those who need to receive."With all that she has on her plate professionally, Shenita enjoys spending downtime with family (which includes her 2 Boston Terriers), traveling the world and helping her daughter's Taya-Morgan Moore (Visual Art and Animation) and Kenyah Moore (Makeup and Fashion), cultivate their own unique paths in the wonderful world of arts!With her solid commitment and love for this profession, and as much of her previous work continues to air in syndication and across radio waves, it is easy to see that Shenita Moore is poised for a long and very successful career as an actress and philanthropist.And, she feels overwhelmingly blessed!!...
