Dudley Stuart John Moore (19 April 1935 – 27 March 2002) was an English actor, comedian, musician and composer. Moore first came to prominence in the UK as a leading figure in the British satire boom of the 1960s. In the mid-1970s Moore had settled in Los Angeles to concentrate on his film acting.

His career as a comedy film actor was marked by hit films, particularly "Bedazzled" "10" and "Arthur", for which Moore was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor and won a Golden Globe Award. Moore was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1987.

By 1995 Moore's film career was on the wane due to difficulties which were, in fact, due to the onset of the medical condition that eventually led to his death. Symptoms such as slurred speech and loss of balance were misinterpreted by the public and the media as a sign of drunkenness. Moore himself was at a loss to explain this. On 30 September 1999, Moore announced that he was suffering from the terminal degenerative brain disorder progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a Parkinson-plus syndrome. The disease eventually required him to use a wheelchair.

He was made a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth II on 16 November 2001 in what was his last public appearance.

"The Mighty Kong" is a 1998 American animated monster musical film. It is an adaptation of the classic King Kong story. Dudley Moore (in his final role before his death in 2002) headed the cast of voice actors.
