Acting Career
In the early 1960s, he had a long-running screen role as Alan Drew in the BBC TV series Compact. He later had an even longer-lasting part in the radio soap, Waggoner's Walk, which ran for more than a decade and achieved ratings of four million listeners on Radio Two in the United Kingdom. This grew so popular that it nearly caused the cancellation of The Archers.
As he grew older, Moss did less acting in order to concentrate on other interests, although he has continued to appear in comic roles, most recently in The Gigolos.
