Hilton Moore

Born in San Antonio,Texas, Hilton E. Moore is a proud descendant of the frontiersman and Revolutionary War hero Daniel Boone. His mother, Shirley L. Moore and father, Donald E. Moore met in San Antonio and began their family. Hilton has eight other siblings in his family. Hilton has had four children(Nickolas, Melanie, Hillary, and Alexander) with two wives. Hilton began stage acting in elementary school and continued to sing and act in school and church in several plays. Hilton moved around a lot in his high school years, attending four separate high schools. He began writing and presenting his own plays in drama classes. His friend and drama co-presenter Kurt Kleinmann continued in drama and began his own theater group "Pegasus Theater" in Dallas,Texas. Hilton was transplanted to Imperial County California where he began courses in film study. He became part of the "Students Film League of Southern California" group which helped to put the first Billy Jack (1971) movie on the screen. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in July 1973. He was trained for Voice Radio operations, and learned broadcast technology while serving during the close of the Vietnam War. In Fort Hood, Texas he went onto stage managing, acting, at the base theater, and there met country singer Jeanne C. Riley while she was performing at the base. After a long conversation with her, he decided he wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Upon separation from the service in 1976, Hilton started his acting career as a true life, deep undercover narcotics agent working a four county region of north Texas. At anytime during his undercover work he could have been discovered and killed(talk about dedication to his role). Hilton later became a detective and public relations officer speaking on public safety, drug abuse and child advocacy intervention. He also became a clandestine drug lab expert, dignitary protection specialist, hostage negotiator, tactical(SWAT)team leader, weapons and explosive specialist, and an "active shooter" response team leader. While becoming "all that he could be", Hilton worked as location security/ background actor on filming locations for several award winning movies. In some of the background scenes he was given voice and featured background responsibilities. He also assisted casting directors, actors, and directors on the set to help get the job done. Hilton began his television career as a featured actor on a local Dallas Fox show "Hot Tickets"(1989). He also had several action and voice opportunities on the iconic show Dallas (1978). He was cast as several characters in the twelfth season of "Dallas". During these episodes he was able to also work on the Oliver Stone movie Born on the Fourth of July (1989) and met and conversed with Tom Cruise and his then girlfriend Nicole Kidman on the set. She was nineteen at the time, and has not changed in beauty or elegance to this day, in Hilton's mind. Moving up in the law enforcement community, Hilton began working for the federal government and was able to use his understanding of film making to produce/direct/narrate several industrial films for field training and security protocols used in the federal law enforcement community. Having been in the government protection profession for over forty years, it is now time for Hilton to step out of it. He will now concentrate on his favorite pastime, "acting". Look for him soon in a theater near you........
