Shenita (King) Moore was born December 13,
1976 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.
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. With a growing recognition, her commercial (on-camera and
voice-over), film and television work increased.
The last several years have proven to be the busiest for Shenita to date:
landing a co-starring role in the long running Lifetime series
Strong Medicine,
a coveted recurring character in the ABC hit drama
Grey's Anatomy, taking on several short film
projects, recording voice-overs, and even appearing on
Bringing Home Baby, a reality television show!
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.
