Moore, who is often recognized by young fans for her role as Christi- na Ross — mom to the Ross family kids — in the Disney Channel’s award-winning show “Jes- sie,” answered questions ranging from her charac- ter on the Disney show to how scenes are fi lmed and where puppies come from. In “The Dog Lov- er,” Moore was cast as the executive director of an organization that rescues animals and lobbies for animal welfare laws. Multimillionaire Forrest Lucas of Lucas Oil Prod- ucts Inc. is the fi lm’s exec- utive producer. He teamed up with Ali Afshar, the movie’s writer/producer, to form ESX Entertainment. The Indiana man also is founder of Protect the Har- vest, which fi ghts for the rights of America’s farm- ers, ranchers, animal own- ers and sportsmen/sports- women. Hermiston resident Dave Duquette, equine repre- sentative for Protect the Harvest, hopes the movie inspires people to conduct research before donating money or getting involved with causes. After getting involved with “The Dog Lover,” Moore met Lucas and was then commissioned to work on writing and producing a trio of upcoming fi lms with ESX Entertainment.
