Joel David Moore Movies
The lanky and slightly gaunt character actor
Joel David Moore (occasionally also credited as
Joel Moore) specialized in portrayals of slightly goofy eccentrics when he debuted onscreen in the late 2000s, but also demonstrated the ability to play it straight when necessary, per his lead in the slasher outing
Hatchet (2006).
Moore specialized in comedies, with a particularly off-the-wall performance as team player Owen in the
Ben Stiller/
Vince Vaughn comedy
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004). He was equally memorable in the frat-boy laughers
Grandma's Boy (2006) and the 2007
Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning (as backwoodsman Cooter). In 2007,
Moore joined the cast of
James Cameron's massively budgeted, elephantine sci-fi opus
Avatar (2009). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
