When Kieron Moore stated that "Vampire Academy" was the first part he could call his own, he wasn't kidding. There is no doubt he has risen quickly, which is a credit to the roles that got him started in the business and allowed "Vampire Academy" writers Julie Plec and Marguerite MacIntyre to find untapped potential.
"[I] realized just how powerful he was and how much coiled energy he had, and how deeply, deeply sexy that coiled energy is," Plec told J-14 Magazine. As they tell it, Moore was all but undiscovered at the time. "I couldn't even find Kieron on the Internet. It was like he didn't exist before he auditioned."
That is basically true. In addition to "Sex Education" and "The Sandman," Moore had only been in one episode of the soap opera "Emmerdale Farm" and a collection of short films including "Cold Blow Lane." The six-minute short features Kieron as Liam, a hooligan whose hard lifestyle leads to a bloody death.
So early in his career, Moore has shown versatility. Though Dimitri in "Vampire Academy" and Liam are both brawlers in their own way, they show juxtaposing personalities. Dimitri is the picture of restraint while Liam is a hotheaded gang member. "Vampire Academy" may be canceled on Peacock, but this can only be the start of a flourishing career.
