To learn more, we are Talking With Clark Moore:

Can you explain your role in the new true-crime movie Gaslit By My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story.

Clark Moore: In the movie I play Griffith Walker, a husband and father who recently lost his wife. Devastated by the emotional pain and loss, he struggles to move on. He is driven by the love he has for his children, who are dealing with loss at such a young age. He must move forward for their sake.

As an actor, what helped you the most in bringing Griffith Walker to life?

Clark Moore: As an actor I always look for the similarities between myself and the experience of the character I am playing. I try and align those similarities with experiences in my own life and attempt to be as true and authentic to those similarities in relation to what’s going on in the scene. I do that to the best of my abilities, and stick to the truth of it all.

How was working with Jana Kramer?

Clark Moore: Jana was amazing both on and off set. She was a true professional, and a fantastic actress. It was a good experience watching her performance, she was so relaxed and comfortable in what she was doing, it was impressive. Off set, she was nothing less than a sweetheart. Funny, down to earth and relatable on so many levels, not to mention smart, just impressive all around.

Do you have a favorite scene from the movie? And, was it also your favorite to shoot?

Clark Moore: I think my favorite scene was the one where I first meet Jana’s character, Morgan Metzer. As emotional as it was, it was fun jumping back and forth, from the emotion of it to having present moment awareness and being grateful for the moment. I always feel so lucky to be able to be on set acting.

What do you think moviegoers to take away from the film?

Clark Moore: Well, being that it’s a drama, I think people will relate, because to some extent we all have negative people in our lives. And as hopeless as it can be, albeit probably not as extreme as in the movie, there is something we can do about it. We all need positive people in our lives, and that makes most situations rise to a level that we like we aren’t helpless.

Were you aware of the real Morgan Metzer prior to working on the film? And, are you a fan of the true-crime genre?

Clark Moore: I wasn’t aware of this story before working on the film. Believe it or not I rarely watch television and when I do I try and keep it to things that are very low brow so as not to get emotionally involved in the story. Haha, I find it too draining. I used to binge watch Forensic Files…I think that filled up my true-crime tank for a while.

What inspires you the most creatively?

Clark Moore: I think the thing that inspires me the most are the moments that are born out of countless hours of preparation regardless of the medium. Things that people make look effortless but that’s only because they spent so much time doing them. I would have to say that and complete authenticity, it’s impressive to watch. We all cover up, hide under some sort of mask, when people aren’t afraid to remove the mask…it’s powerful.
