Jack Alvin "Alvy" Moore (December 5, 1921 – May 4, 1997) was an American light comic actor best known for his role as scatterbrained county agricultural agent Hank Kimball on the CBS television series Green Acres. His character would often make a statement, only to immediately negate the statement himself and then negate the corrected statement until his stream of statements was interrupted by a frustrated Oliver Wendell Douglas portrayed by Eddie Albert. One such statement was, "Good morning, Mr. Douglas! Well, it's not a good morning .

Biography

Moore met his wife, Carolyn, in 1947 while both were actors with the Pasadena Playhouse. They married in 1950 and traveled with the national touring company of Mr. Roberts before settling in Los Angeles to start their family. Alvy and Carolyn had three children, Janet, Alyson and Barry. Carolyn continued to be involved in acting, doing dinner theater and various church productions.

In Alvy's spare time during the 1960s, he umpired Little League baseball in Lake View Terrace, California and played in charity golf tournaments across the country.

He was proud of his role of Hank Kimball, and up until his death he drove a white Cadillac with the license plate "GRNACRS."

Alvy and Carolyn Moore were married 47 years. Alvy died of heart failure on May 4, 1997, at their home in Palm Desert, California.

For over 50 years, Carolyn was a member of Beta Sigma Phi, a women's sorority group that raises money for charity. In 2008 she received the "International Award of Distinction", the highest honor the organization bestows on active members. She also was a member and treasurer for the "Motion Picture Mothers" for over 30 years. Carolyn Moore died at age 79 in 2009.

Set in a post-nuclear war of the year 2024, the main character, Vic (Don Johnson), is an 18-year-old boy, born in and scavenging throughout the wasteland of the former southwestern United States. Vic is most concerned with food and sex; having lost both of his parents, he has no formal education and does not understand ethics or morality. He is accompanied by a well-read, misanthropic, telepathic dog named Blood, who helps him locate women, in return for food. Blood cannot forage for himself, due to the same genetic engineering that granted him telepathy. The two steal for a living, evading bands of marauders, berserk androids, and mutants. Blood and Vic have an occasionally antagonistic relationship (Blood frequently annoys Vic by calling him "Albert" for reasons never made clear), though they realize they need each other. Blood wishes to find a legendary promised land where above ground utopias are said to exist, though Vic believes that they must make the best of what they have.
