Shenita Moore

Shenita (King) Moore was born just outside of Miami, Fl. Being the daughter of a United States Air Force Sergeant, she was raised in various cities. With having this diverse experience already by age 12, her family finally settled in a quiet suburb of Albuquerque, NM. It is in Albuquerque that Shenita began her acting career. She worked in stage productions, including Bye Bye Birdie, A Christmas Carol, and Romeo & Juliet until her departure to New York and the prestigious New York University Tisch School of the Arts. After a return to the Southwest, to work towards a degree in Theatre from the University of New Mexico, it was time that Shenita make her journey to California in 1997.Upon her arrival in the city of angels, she submersed herself in the local theater scene and acted in student, independent and short films. 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 spot rolled into radio where Shenita's voice-over talents were discovered, and the campaign aired for over three years.In early 2005, Shenita's television career was jump started when she landed a coveted recurring role in the ABC hit drama Grey's Anatomy (2005). By the middle of that same year, she had worked opposite Ricky Schroder in the long running Lifetime series Strong Medicine (2000).The next several years saw her taking on the world of feature films. In the fall of 2007, she worked opposite Illeana Douglas in the horror feature Otis (2008), and in December 2008, she found herself amongst Oscar winning producers with a supporting role in the German feature Friendship! (2010).2009 gave way to a new accomplishment for Shenita; co-producing her first film project. The short film Queen Victoria's Wedding (2010), in which she also had a supporting role, starred Natalie Desselle Reid. To date, Queen Victoria's Wedding has won several awards and can still be seen on the short film circuit.The last several years have seen Shenita back on the festival circuit with a lead role in the short Not OnBoard (2011), back on the small screen working opposite Mary McCormack on the hit USA show In Plain Sight (2008), and back on the big screen with a supporting role in the feature Goats (2012) starring actor David Duchovny. (Goats premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2012.)As much of her previous work continues to air in syndication and across radio waves, Shenita feels blessed to continuously work in the industry, and uses her influence to raise funds for non-profits by holding an annual Charity Birthday Event each winter in Albuquerque, NM.With her solid commitment and love for this profession, it is easy to see that Shenita Moore is poised for a long and very successful career as an actress, producer, and philanthropist.
