As Skye and Billy sift through old photos of their parents, who led an adventurous and loving life, they reminisce with unselfconscious affection. \u201cThey\u2019re not forcing each other to be there, and they\u2019re not \u2018working on their relationship\u2019, right?\u201d Moore says, leaning into the camera. \u201cThey\u2019re there because they love each other and probably because they had an [emotionally] rich childhood. Even though they may have been [physically] apart for quite a long time, we can tell that they were previously so connected, which the story seems to credit to the fact [that] they\u2019re twins.\u201d<\/p>\n Moore, who broke through in 2018 by playing resilient sex worker Angel Vasquez-Evangelista in the groundbreaking LGBTQ+ series Pose, channelled their own grief into Skye\u2019s. While they were filming Father Mother Sister Brother in early 2024, they were also using their profile to draw attention to the plight of genocide survivors in Palestine. \u201cI was interfacing every single day with people who were trying to evacuate Gaza,\u201d Moore says. \u201cI was seeing images of people\u2019s wounds, of children who were severely hurt, and I had to reckon with the weight of that on my body. I was grieving, I was angry and I was scared \u2013 and I hate to admit when I\u2019m scared.\u201d The actor adds that they received \u201ctotal support\u201d in their advocacy efforts from Jarmusch, the dean of US indie cinema whose oeuvre ranges from contemplative comedy (2005\u2019s Broken Flowers) to offbeat gothic horror (2013\u2019s Only Lovers Left Alive), and their talented co-star Sabbat. \u201cI\u2019m so grateful, because that\u2019s what allowed me to bring Skye to life, despite the weight of what I was carrying.\u201d<\/p>\n Since Pose ended in 2021, Moore has appeared in the brilliant queer indie film Ponyboi and a big-budget fantasy series, The Sandman. They\u2019ve also appeared in campaigns for luxury brands including Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton and Calvin Klein. But unlike many actors, they don\u2019t give short, cautious answers that skirt around difficult topics. In fact, many of their responses unfold over several minutes and ping thrillingly between the personal and the political. Moore hates being called an \u201cactivist\u201d but does strive to serve as an \u201cadvocate\u201d for causes including Palestine, the dismantling of white supremacy and LGBTQ+ rights. Moore is trans and non-binary, and uses they\/them and she\/her pronouns.\u00a0<\/p>\n Growing up in the Bronx, where Moore entered the foster care system at 14 to get away from their parents\u2019 transphobia, they considered a future career in psychology. (\u201cI was just so moved by the work of my therapists and thought it would be really beautiful to help people.\u201d) They also dreamed of doing pioneering work in biotechnology. \u201cI wanted to find a way to help trans women, because I grieved not being able to have a child. I hated the idea of me having a child in any other way than [through a biological] pregnancy,\u201d Moore says, before pausing again. \u201cIt\u2019s not something I talk about very often, because people mock the experiences of trans people all the time. But I thought that I would be able to go to school to study biotech and one day help trans women to grow their own wombs.\u201d<\/p>\n Building an acting career seemed like a pipe dream, Moore says, \u201cbecause as a trans person, you know your access to society and culture is going to be limited\u201d. But while they were working as a background artist on Baz Luhrmann\u2019s musical TV series The Get Down, Moore met Jose Gutierez Xtravaganza, a legend of New York\u2019s queer ballroom scene. Xtravaganza encouraged them to audition for 2017\u2019s Saturday Church, a musical fantasy film loosely based on a real-life LGBTQ+ outreach programme, and Moore landed a role opposite their future Pose co-star Michaela Ja\u00e9 Rodriguez. \u201cThere wasn\u2019t really a meaningful depth to my desire to act at the time,\u201d Moore admits. \u201cI just wanted to be a star.\u201d<\/p>\n A year later, Moore was cast in Pose, a moving and exuberant drama series about the chosen families of the New York ballroom scene. Memorialised in Jennie Livingston\u2019s seminal 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning<\/a>, this scintillating subculture has long provided a safe space and creative outlet for queer and trans people of colour. And when Pose premiered in June 2018, it made history by featuring more trans actors in series-regular roles than any show that came before it. \u201cWhen Pose happened, things shifted in a way that became a little bit sobering,\u201d Moore says. \u201cI remember praying to God when I [got] that job. I said, \u2018Please support me in using this visibility and celebrity to be of service to people.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/a>
