Shemar Moore Wife, Kids, Bio, Wiki, Girlfriend, Net Worth

Warm and talented are perhaps the two words that best describe Shemar Moore. The Emmy-winning actor has been in Hollywood for over a decade and has impressed with his roles in projects such as The Young and The Restless and Criminal Minds.

In 2016 the basic small screen left his role as Derek Morgan in Criminal Minds, which lasted 11 seasons to join shortly afterward in the distribution of another police drama series S.W.A.T.

When I left Criminal Minds, it was a blind jump of faith. Despite having no knowledge that the S.W.A.A.T series was coming, I had an unwavering belief in myself and my abilities to grow as an actor; propelled by this hunger for success and growth, I took a leap of faith with nothing but hope in my heart – something that would later be validated when my mother gave me a card which read ‘Jump and the net will appear.’

After taking time off work to travel around Sydney Australia, where I got lost both physically and figuratively from the business for some much-needed relaxation before jumping into another project – it’s safe to say that this journey has been one full of surprises!
