He played Scott Baker in the film The Last Champion, which was directed by Glenn Withrow. “It was an incredible experience, to say the least. From the beginning to the end, it was a ride that I was really grateful to be a part of. The intense physical preparation leading up to the film was something I’ve always wanted to tackle in this profession, to really earn it. And the people involved with The Last Champion from the cast to the crew were amazing to work with,” he said.
“The Last Champion is a great story about family and redemption. Something I think we need a little more of in our current climate. So if you want to watch a heartwarming, uplifting film, check it out,” he said.
On being an actor and artist in the digital age, he said, “I think it’s an exciting time. There is plenty of work to be had out there and there is plenty of material to be created. The more avenues available for sharing content, the better in my opinion.”
Regarding his daily motivations, he said, “I’ll be honest, motivation can really come and go but what always brings me back is the endless potential there is in sharing stories, whether it’s your story or being a part of someone else’s. You never know what’s around the corner. The journey is very much enticing.”
For young and aspiring actors, he encouraged them to “go or it.” “The reward to me has always been greater than the risk. Although I often have to remind myself of this,” he said with a sweet laugh.
In 2018, he scored a Daytime Emmy nomination for his portrayal of JJ Deveraux in Days of Our Lives. The feelings were interesting with the Emmy nomination, granted I was grateful for the nod and recognition from my peers. But given the subject matter of why I was nominated, it was difficult to celebrate.
“The suicide episode was really heavy,” he admitted. “And the experience I had talking to people online while the episode was airing, is something I will never forget. There are a lot of people out there struggling and to celebrate a portrayal of that struggle didn’t sit right with me. But the impact of that episode, with how many people it touched, with all of the love and care that went into it, was the reward for me,” he explained.
When asked how he handles being dialogue-heavy on Days of Our Lives, he said, “It’s pretty straightforward, prep hard and do it. You can’t think about it.”
Moss had nothing but the greatest remarks about working with photographer Brad Everett Young and his Dream Loud campaign. “It’s always great working with Brad. I met him about eight years ago when he first got it up and running and to see where he/the campaign is now is really incredible. I am very happy for him and I look forward to seeing where he goes from here,” he exclaimed.
This past winter, he was a part of a Star Image Entertainment virtual fan event, where the proceeds went towards Cedars Can Support. “That was really special and I was super happy to be a part of it. I’ve been off the show now for a little while so to see all of the fans that I’ve got to know over the years was nice. They’re great people,” he said.
On the title of the current chapter of his life, he responded, “Unknown with Room to Grow.”
Moss defined the word success as follows: “Success, to me, means a healthy you and a healthy family.” “Everything else is just extra,” he said.
