Tom Moore appeared in his first motion picture in 1912 and directed the 1915 film The Secret Room. Frequently cast as the romantic lead, he starred in many silent films as well as in some of the first sound films.

In 1914, he married silent film star Alice Joyce, with whom he had a daughter named Alice who, in later years, would act in films with her father.

While in New York City on New Year’s Eve 1920 Tom Moore met the young French actress Renée Adorée. A whirlwind romance ensued and six weeks after meeting, they were married on February 12, 1921 in his home in Beverly Hills, California. The marriage lasted only a few years and in 1931 Tom Moore married a third time to Eleanor Merry.
