Brad Moore

Brad is a British actor known primarily for his roles in Golden Years, North vs South and Montana. Born in London as Bradley Heath Moore to his mother, Brenda Moore, who was from Jewish-Italian decent and his father, Ronnie, who he fondly describes as a'chancer' from the East End of London. Brad grew up in North/East London before moving to Hertfordshire aged 11. He attended Chauncy Secondary School, Ware and later Shephallbury College, Stevenage. Brad boxed for Ware Boys Club and still coaches now. He was introduced to acting at a very young age, which he credits to actress and neighbour Pauline Quirk, although he did not pursue a career until much later in life when he was 40. Brad initially performed on the UK stand-up comedy circuit and during this time secured parts in over twenty short films. This period he considers to be his training ground as a performer. Since then Brad has secured roles in many feature films starting with a small role in 'Best Laid Plans' alongside Stephen Graham, 'The Rise' with Timothy Spall, a starring role in 'Montana' with Ashley Walters, Lars Mikkelsen and Michelle Fairley. Brad's first lead role was performing alongside Stephen Berkoff and Bernard Hill as the psychopath Gary Little in North vs South. The performance was well received by many critics prompting Movie Ramblings to say "Moore's performance is a barnstormer, chewing the scenery with such gusto he even puts veteran scenery chewer Berkoff to shame, his dodgy geezer an avatar of pure chaos motivated as much by the desire to destroy everything around him for sheer giggles as he is by a desire to rise through the ranks. Magnetic, chilling, funny and annoying, whenever the unpredictable Moore's onscreen, all you're watching is him." Well respected film critics Hey You Guys commented "Moore's performance perfectly encapsulates everything that is brutal about this piece, as a well-crafted antagonist, who manages to have as many enemies from those in the South (who he sides with), as he does with the Northerners. It's a stand-out performance, as Gary Little is a nasty piece of work, intimidating, barbaric and yet somewhat pathetic too". His most recent roles were in short film 'Ruminate' starring with Rebecca Hall (Vicky Christina Barcelona), and as the lead antagonist in 'Golden Years' alongside Una Stubbs, Simon Callow, Phil Davies and Sue Johnston. Brad has just completed filming his second lead role in the boxing comedy Gloves Off (which he also co wrote) and stars Ricky Tomlinson, Alexei Sayle, Paul Barber and Denise Van Outen. Show less «
