Jefferson Moore is an American actor, writer, producer, director and editor based in Louisville, Kentucky. He is the founder and owner of Kelly's Filmworks.

Background

Jefferson attended The University of Kentucky and Western Kentucky University and began working in sales. He met his wife Kelly while attending WKU. He began his acting career by accident. He attended an audition at a regional theater with his wife, who was auditioning. The director asked him to read the lead lines as the person who was supposed to didn't show up, and he wound up with the part.[1] Afterwards, he continued doing stage work and later moved into on-camera roles in music videos, television commercials, and short films; after nine years, he landed his first principal role in a feature film opposite Lou Diamond Phillips and Andre Braugher.

In 2001, he founded Kelly's Filmworks Ltd. (named for his wife and co-founder, Kelly) and proceeded to write, produce, direct and edit his own projects. The company also handles its own distribution. Incidentally, each movie has a character named Kelly somewhere in the film.

Jefferson has served as editor on several of his films, under the pseudonym Pate Walters.[2]

In 2014, an internet hoax stated that Moore had died in the Philippines.
