Shenita (King) Moore was born 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 in 1997.
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.
In early 2005, after taking a few years off to get married and start a
family, Shenita's television career was jump started when she landed a coveted recurring
role in the ABC hit drama
Grey's Anatomy. By the middle of that same year,
she had worked opposite Rick Schroder in the long running Lifetime series
Strong Medicine.
After giving birth to her second daughter in
2006, the next two years saw her taking on the world of feature film. In
the fall of 2007, she worked opposite Illeana Douglas in the horror film
Otis,
and in December 2008, she found herself amongst Oscar winning producers
with a supporting role in the German film Friendship!,
which is slated for release in late 2009.
As much of her previous work continues to
air in syndication and across radio waves, Shenita is currently gearing
up for production of her next project: the short film Queen
Victoria's Wedding, which is slated to shoot in the fall of 2009. She
will not only co-star in this project, but will co-produce as well.
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.
