The actor’s death was also confirmed by his manager, Tabatha Minchew. In a statement issued to Fox News on Monday, Minchew said she and Moseley had been friends for over a decade.
“Everyone loved Moses. He never met a stranger. He loved his fans as much as his family and friends. He was always excited to get auditions and work,” Minchew said.
“He was the kind of person who you could call in the middle of the night if you needed to talk or needed anything. He will be deeply missed by so many, his friends, family, costars and fans,” she added.
Born in Aiken, South Carolina, Moseley started his acting career at a young age after he was asked one day while walking out of class at Georgia State University if he would like to appear in the film, “Joyful Noise” with Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton.
“After I did that movie they started sending me more and more castings and I just built myself up from there,” Moseley said during an interview.
Besides Moseley’s role on TWD show, he also appeared in the HBO “Watchmen” series, as well as “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” in 2013.
