Myles Moore – Heart & Soul

By Staff

Tell us about your first performance and your role.

Well if you wanna be technical about it, my first ever role and performance was my second grade play of Pecos Bill. I was the lead “Pecos Bill” however my first real performance was a production of “Twelve Angry Men” my sophomore year. My nerves were getting the best of me. I had never auditioned on a stage that big and had to find my own monologue. Michael Douglas’ monologue from the film WALL STREET. I got the role of juror #7. I was actually surprised. So many people auditioning were already so seasoned. Getting a main character role on my first audition gave me the confidence to audition for more roles in the future.

Why did you decide to work as an actor?

Acting has always been my passion. Anyone you ask would say I’ve always been “out there”, “extroverted”, or just a real “character”. What really made me realize that I wanted to work as an actor was when I did my first play outside of school. My mom had told me about a play called “Blood at the Root” at Raleigh Little Theater. The audition was 4 days away from the day she told me. I was nervous because until now I had only done school productions. I didn’t find a monologue till two days before the audition and didn’t really put any acting into till the day of. To my surprise I got a call back and then I went to get the male lead. After that I went on to do background in a Movie called Summer Camp with Alfre Woodard, Kathy Bates, and Diane Keaton and various short films

Tell us about your training..

I started taking acting classes when I was around nine years old at Kids College summer camp at Indiana university. I took theater and did plays and musicals all throughout highschool. I plan on taking more acting classes soon. I also get training through experience. Whatever gig I can book I try to take something away from the experience. Learning through doing.

What keeps you motivated in such a competitive industry?

Passion, passion for acting and telling stories. You can’t get into this industry with the sole goal of wanting to be famous for the glitz and glamour. This is a hard industry to get into and it’s even harder to be successful in the Hollywood sense. If you love acting and telling stories then that’s all you’ll need. Your talent and your passion for the art, for the craft, and for making audiences feel transported into a world that they may or may not relate to, will speak for itself. And hopefully the big jobs will come in.

What does success look like for you?

Success looks like acting. Whether it be a small short indie film or a big budget movie/tv show. Being able to do what I love and tell stories and become a character is what success looks like for me.

Describe the ideal role that you feel fits your talent.

I wouldn’t say there’s an Ideal role that fits my talent. At least I don’t want there to be. Any role that is well written I should be able to bring to life with my talent. I Have been told I am good at both comedic and dramatic roles so maybe there’s something out there for me that offers both. If not then I can write my own. As I am currently writing, directing, and acting in.
