====Film====

They remembered his dream of getting out of music and becoming a Hollywood film actor,<ref name="amazingjourney"/>{{Better source needed|date=October 2013}} although Daltrey did not think Moon had the patience and work ethic required of a professional actor. Who manager [[Bill Curbishley]] agreed that Moon "wasn't disciplined enough to actually turn up or commit to doing the stuff".{{sfn|Chapman|1998|p=80}}
