In addition to her career in front of the cameras, Angela Moore also served as co-chair of the diversity and inclusion committee at the B.C. performers’ union, a branch of the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA). In a January 2019 article in the Toronto Star, talking about diversity, Moore talked about the challenges she faced when her career began more than 25 years ago, pointing out that she often had to wait for roles that were specifically meant for Black actors. “A lot of those roles were service roles, one-liners as a nurse or a prostitute,” Moore said. “I played nurses dozens of times. Nurse No. 2, nurse No. 3. I’ve also played a police officer many times, or a guard.” She went on to point out in the article that when U.S. TV series are shot in Vancouver, the leading roles are often already filled with Hollywood actors. Canadian actors are left to fight over smaller parts and opportunities get smaller still for people of colour.
