Actor Reviews
Dr. Stockmann in An Enemy of the People, Taproot Theater
One of the “stellar performances” of 2005. — Seattle Times, December 25, 2005
“…emboldened by a vehement lead turn by Terry Edward Moore” —Seattle Times
“Veteran Seattle actor Moore is perfectly cast as Dr. Stockman, bringing to the role a poignant combination of bemusement, sorrow, and monomaniacal fury.” —Seattle Weekly
Marius in The Road to Mecca, Seattle Repertory Theater
“Terry Edward Moore’s Marius is as solid and multifaceted as the religious community he represents. Although moments come when he infuriates us, there are equally as many moments when he touches our hearts.” —The Broadway Hour
Alan Turing in Breaking the Code, Alice B. Theater
“Terry Edward Moore gives a dazzling, tour de force performance.” —Journal American
“Breaking the Code utterly depends for its success on the actor playing Turing. [Derek] Jacobi must have been something to see in the part, but I can’t regret encountering the play first with Terry Edward Moore. Moore…knows how to deploy a star actor’s technique without turning his performance into a star turn. His Turing is a portrait of Genius as Supernerd, a shambling fog of shrugs, tics, and shuffles through which we increasingly glimpse a unique mind in action…. [T]he contrasts between a pimply 10-year-old Turing squirming in agony over a parent’s well-meaning advances to a school friend and a 40-year-old Turing chattering to an uncomprehending Greek fisher-lad while fixing a broken radio, emerges from a mysterious interior terrain as unaccountable to the outsider as the mathematician’s commonwealth of numbers.” —Seattle Weekly
Gandalf in Miss Witherspoon at ACT
“Moore is a riot” —TalkinBroadway
Tom Janeway in Waxwings, Book-It Repertory Theater

Piet in A Lesson from Aloes, Thalia’s Umbrella
“Moore [is] in excellent form here…ably shouldering the heftier, more subtle load of Piet’s tenderness and quiet suffering.”—Seattle Times
Tobias in A Delicate Balance, Theatre 9/12
“Moore’s…is a masterful performance.” —Seattle Times
“Moore…completely blows you away.… He manages a truly superb arc in the piece and is a joy to behold.” —BroadwayWorld
“Moore… cuts Tobias down to the bone…[he] is moving, disturbing, and completely perfect.” —UW Daily
Andy Kahn in A Shade of Green, Theatre 9/12
“Moore as the prisoner is extraordinary.” —Seattle Times
“Terry Edward Moore, as Andy Kahn the serial killer, was brilliant. Moore delivered gallows humor, profound insight into the human condition and was totally believable as a clever, intelligent, manipulative psychopath. As the representative of cunning evil, the character was superb; he was seductively honest about issues of life and death, witty, cruel, yet appealing and totally evil.” —Drama in the Hood
“The word riveting just doesn’t seem to cover the experience . . . No, riveting doesn’t cover the intense ethical debate wrapped in a gripping game of cat and mouse, nor does mesmerizing. No, those adjectives just don’t cover it so I’m really only left with, DAMN! . . . Moore is stunning as the sociopathic killer, Kahn.” —BroadwayWorld
Sherlock in Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Christmas Carol, Taproot Theater
“Terry Edward Moore is dead-on as Holmes.” —SeattleActor
“Scott Nolte's staging . . . benefits from the Shakespearean flair of Moore's marvelously showy lead turn.” —Seattle Times
“Moore as Holmes drives this play with the relentless, measured energy that this production needs, coloring in every bit the character detail you want to see out of a staged Sherlock Holmes.” —Russians Used a Pencil
“Moore is pure magic.” — The Enterprise
Henry Wilcox in Howards End, Book-It Repertory Theater
“One of the ‘stellar performances’ of 2002.” —Seattle Times, December 22, 2002
“Terry Edward Moore is very impressive.” —Seattle P-I
“Played to perfection by Terry Edward Moore…” —Queen Anne/Magnolia News
Lord Peter Wimsey in Busman’s Honeymoon, Taproot Theater
“Terry Edward Moore is utterly endearing as Wimsey, playing him with a dash of shyness, a brace of whimsy, and a beguiling besottedness…” —Seattle Times
Richard Noakes in Arcadia, ACT
“Terry Edward Moore…and Sean G. Griffin stole the…scenes they were in. Wry, sly, and ever so cheeky, these two smarties manage to upset the game in progress.” —Anacortes American
Billy in Billy Bishop Goes to War, Bathhouse
“One of the ‘stellar performances’ of 1995.” —Seattle Times
“As Billy, and in 16 other roles, Moore dispatches this tale with boyish brio and ace versatility.” —Seattle Times

“Taproot . . has assembled a strong cast anchored by veteran actor Terry Edward Moore” —Seattle Times
