Hollywood star greets fans in Hermiston
By TAMMY MALGESINI
Community Editor
Hollywood
actress
Christina Moore, who was
in Eastern Oregon over the
weekend as part of premier
showings of “The Dog Lov-
er,” visited fans after sever-
al viewings of the movie at
Hermiston Cinema.
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. For
more about the upcoming
fi lms, visit www.esxpro-
ductions.com.
