Colleagues and creators of the series “The Living Dead” paid tribute to the actor Moses Jay Moseley, who died at the age of 31. Moses J. Mosley, who played a zombie in The Living Dead, was found dead from a gunshot wound Wednesday, which authorities are investigating as a possible suicide.
The star of the series Jeremy Palko described the actor as “absolutely nice and wonderful man”, and Adi Mill said that she was “as devastated to hear about the death of this bright, good soul” as Moses.
Another actress in the film, Melissa Cowan, wrote on Facebook that Moseley was “really one of a kind” and “always kind, funny, with a smile that can light up the whole room.”
The film’s official Twitter account also expressed its condolences.

Moseley was born in South Carolina and his family settled in Georgia, where he studied law. He says that he did not plan to become an actor, but one day after school he was asked if he wanted to take part in a film.
This film turned out to be “Joyful Noise” from 2012, starring Quinn Latifah and Dolly Parton. He then starred in films such as The Hunger Games, The Guardians on HBO and the 2016 film Blood Volumes: Horror Stories.
