Personal life and career
Moo has Chinese, Jamaican, and Jewish ancestry and was previously an actor and theatre director in the 1990s.[1] He began landing roles as a voice actor in the late 1990s, primarily voicing characters in Japanese anime as they were dubbed into English for local audiences.[2]
Moo has also worked as a bartender, specializing in novelty cocktails since the early 2000s. He enjoys making Manhattans and a drink he calls "Alice's Mallet" made from gin and rhubarb syrup that he distills himself.[3] He was a head bartender at New York City establishments Ouest and Last Exit before opening Quarter Bar with business partner Joe Herron on the southern edge of Park Slope in 2007.[3] In 2016, Esquire magazine named Quarter Bar one of the top 18 bars in the United States.[4]
In January 2019, Moo appeared as a contestant on the quiz show Jeopardy! (Season 35, Episode 95), coming in second place out of the three contestants and winning $2,000.[5][6]
