He was the son of a London police officer, born on 14 October 1927 and was one of many to be evacuated during the Second World War. Moore started his acting career during his time at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, appearing in Brian Hurst's Trottie True and in 1954 signed up to MGM. He started acting in telelvision in the late 50s, starring in such hit shows as Ivanhoe, Maverick, The Persuaders and (most notably) The Saint.
