CFRB morning man John Moore often references how he has an ACTRA card and is frequently an extra or plays a small part in various movies or TV shows. But up until now, I’ve never caught him, in the – you should pardon the expression – act. Even though he always complains he never plays anything but a reporter on screen.
Earlier this week, I was at a friend’s house and we watched AMC’s newest comedy series called “Adults.” It’s kind of an updated version of “Friends” for the 2000’s, except it’s nowhere near as good and there's a ton of swearing. It’s shot in Toronto, a stand-in for New York City.
In the debut episode, one of the characters heads to her job at a TV station and goes on location to a story with a guy who turns out to be John Moore. And yes, he’s playing yet another TV reporter! He was quite good in the role, although he only had like two lines. But I would know that voice anywhere.
Unfortunately, it looks like the character in question was fired from the station, so that may be the end of her appearances there – and the final curtain call for Mr. Moore.
One day, I hope he actually lands a role with a meatier part. Say a TV news anchor!
