Personal life and career
Moo has Jamaican, Jewish, and Chinese heritage 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.[citation needed]
Moo has also worked as a bartender specializing in novelty cocktails since the early 2000s. He worked as head bartender at New York City establishments Ouest and Last Exit, before opening his own Quarter Bar, with business partner Joe Herron, on the southern edge of Park Slope in 2007.[2] As a bartender, Moo enjoys making Manhattans and a drink he calls "Alice's Mallet" made from gin and rhubarb syrup that Moo distills himself.[2] In 2016 Esquire magazine named Moo and Herron's Quarter Bar one of the top 18 bars in the United States.[3]
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.[4][5]
