J. David Moeller is a face many would recognize if they saw him on the television in the 70s, 80s and 90s. With almost 50 years in the business, J David has been seen on everything from the television show Dallas, to America's Funniest People. In addition to his numerous acting credits, he also ran for mayor of Dallas in 1971, and has been active in the Superfeast organiztion, helping hungry children around the globe.
We saw J David recently in the Chicago based Wildclaw Theatre's stage presentation of Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witchhouse. Wonderfully gifted, J David became his characters, letting the audience fall into a trance as they were sucked in by his acting ability.
Macabre Cadaver: Dave, you've had a long and prosperous career, and have worked with some Hollywood greats. What is your most memorable experience?
David J. Moeller: I was having an afternoon snack in my favorite delicatessen in Dallas, "Phils". They had the best Lentil soup in Texas. I was the only customer. I heard the little bell over the door ring and looked up, more out of instinct at hearing the sound rather than curiosity, and standing there was Uncle Miltie: Milton Berle! He looked right at me and said, "Like where am I supposed to go but a good delicatessen?" They sold those risque greeting cards there; and, wanting an autograph from the veteran vaudevillian who became known as "Mr. Television", I bought one and he graciously signed the inside. On the cover it read "Smile!" and inside: "If you got a little last night -Love Milton Berle". To die for!!!!
