Trevor Moore

Career Overview

    Trevor Moore is a comedian, actor, satirist, cartoonist, writer, and director best known for his current project, the New York City-based comedy troupe Whitest Kids U' Know. Moore started his career at a young age; at 12 years old he became the world’s youngest published cartoonist with his book “Scraps”. At 16 he was writing weekly cartoons for several newspapers in Virginia and after graduating high school he traveled to LA to pursue stand-up comedy. When he was 19 years old he signed a deal to write and produce “The Trevor Moore Show,” a weekly sketch comedy program, for PAX-TV affiliates. Due to the show’s offensive content it was cancelled after 11 months and Moore went on to write for ImaginAsianTV. There he was a producer/writer for “Uncle Morty's Dub Shack”, a comedy show that involved comedians re-voicing and parodying old Asian movies.

    Moore had also studied at Manhattan's School of Visual Arts where he met friends like Zach Cregger and the rest of the boys who would make up their comedy troupe, The Whitest Kids U’ Know. In 2004, the troupe had a regular engagement at a Lower East Side bar and they were also invited to the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in 2006 where they won the jury prize for Best Sketch Group. In 2009, Moore and fellow comedian Cregger wrote, directed, and starred in their first feature-length film, Miss March.

Zach Cregger

Career Overview

    Zach Cregger - comedian, actor, satirist, writer, and director – is a member of the comedy troupe Whitest Kids U' Know, and also starred in the film Miss March, which he co-directed and co-wrote with Trevor Moore. As a child Cregger was interested in music, acting and writing, and he eventually attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City where he met his fellow 'The Whitest Kids U Know' co-stars in a Brooklyn dormitory. The troupe eventually got its own show on network IFC in 2007 and Cregger wrote for and starred in the series. He also branched out into film and appeared in 2008’s College before creating Miss March in 2009.

    Miss March is Cregger's feature film writing and directing debut. The movie he and Moore wrote tells the story of two boys on a road trip to the Playboy Mansion. Cregger’s character awakes from a 4 year coma to find that his virginal high school sweetheart has since become a Playboy Playmate. His sex-crazed roommate (Moore) convinces him to take a cross-country road trip to crash a party at the magazine’s mansion and win the girls of his dreams back.
