Actor Born: September 14, 1914 in Chicago, IL Death: December 28, 1999 in West Hills, CA Biography:A circus acrobat from the age of eight, "Clayton Moore" had performed as an aerialist with two circuses and at one World's Fair before turning 20. He became a male model in New York, then struck out for Hollywood in 1938 to seek out acting jobs. He began at the bottom rung as an extra, worked his way up to stunt man, and by 1939 was playing nondescript supporting roles. Alternating between heroes and villains in serials and B-Westerns, Moore didn't strike professional gold until 1949, when he was selected to play the "masked rider of the west" in the TV version of "The Lone Ranger". He remained with the series until 1952, when he walked off the show over a salary dispute. His replacement for 26 episodes was "John Hart", who had neither the bearing nor the stirring vocal timbre that had distinguished Moore's performances. Briefly returning to serials, Moore was brought back into the "Lone Ranger" fold... Full Biography
