Trevor Walton Moore (born April 4, 1980) is an American actor, comedian, writer, director, producer and musician, best known as the founding member of the New York City-based comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U' Know, who had their own sketch comedy series on IFC which ran for five seasons.

Moore was born in New York City. His parents are former Christian folk-rock singers, Mickey & Becki Moore, who were successful in the 1980s, their single 'Love Song for Number Two' having ranked as the number two Christian song in the USA. Because he traveled a lot on tour with his family, he changed schools constantly, going to about five different schools. By the age of 15, he became the world's youngest published cartoonist after compiling his early work in a book called Scraps. At 16, Moore created the comic strip Cuddy for the now-defunct newspaper The Charlottesville Observer.

Trevor Moore attended high school at the Covenant School in Charlottesville, and by the time he was 18 he graduated while also developing personal projects.

Moore started out as a broadcasting major at Virginia Commonwealth University, and while he originally wanted to study journalism and political science, he chose film in the end. Moore, like his future Whitest Kids U' Know comrades Sam Brown and Zach Cregger studied in Manhattan's prestigious SVA School of Visual Arts where he majored in film with a BFA and graduated cum laude.

From 1997 to 1998 his show, called The Trevor Moore Show, ran on public-access television in Charlottesville, Virginia. It garnered a following among the local college community so by the time he was 18, Moore was offered a deal by Pax-TV a Christian network (now Ion Television). The show lasted sixteen episodes with sketches like "I Wonder Who Died Today?" (a parody newscast from the local senior citizens' home), it also featured the "Walking-Talking Box." but it was cancelled due to what was deemed offensive material and mostly to a mistake on the programming of the show that besides its night schedule was also been broadcast too early for its rating.
