He also reprised his role of Jess in Netflix’s event series Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. His previous credits include Heroes, Frank Darabont’s Mob City, Rocky Balboa, Wild Card, Gamer, Pathology, That’s My Boy and Crackle’s Chosen.

Moore, who previously directed the doc Catching Salinger, wrote the screenplay and directed. He also produces the film through his company Two Car Parade, along with Liz DuChez and Stephen R. Campanella. J. Scott Scheel is the exec producer. The film screened at the Newport Beach International Film Festival and will be playing festivals worldwide this spring and summer.
