Amanda Leigh "Mandy" Moore, born April 10, 1984, in Nashua, NH, is an American recording artist and actress. Raised in Florida, Moore took voice and acting lessons as a child, while appearing in local productions around the Orlando area.

15-year-old Moore signed to RCA Records in 1999 after a FedEx delivery man overheard her singing and mentioned her to a friend who worked in A&R at the label. Moore's first single, "Candy," was released in August 1999, with her debut album, "So Real," following later that year. The album was certified platinum and earned her a spot as opening act on tours with the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. An additional two singles, "Walk Me Home" and "So Real," failed to chart. (Years later, Moore commented that she disliked her debut album so much that she would gladly pay back anyone who had bought it.)

In 2000, Moore released "I Wanna Be with You," a compilation that featured new material alongside remixed songs from her debut. The title track was issued as a single in conjunction with the film "Center Stage," and eventually peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100; to date, it is Moore's highest-charting single. During this time, Moore appeared as a VJ on MTV, guest-hosting "Total Request Live" and various shows during the network's popular Spring Break block. From 2000-2001, she hosted her own talk show entitled "The Mandy Moore Show" (later retitled "Mandy").

Moore's self-titled third album (2001), preceded by the Middle Eastern-inspired single "In My Pocket," reflected her desire to move away from the bubblegum pop of her previous records. It received positive reviews from critics who praised Moore's new direction, but it was a commercial disappointment by her label's standards. Still, it received a gold certification, becoming Moore's final album to be certified by the RIAA.

In 2003, Moore released her fourth album, "Coverage," consisting of covers of classic 1970s songs. Shortly after, Moore parted ways with her record label and the label issued the cash-grab compilations "The Best of Mandy Moore" and "Candy," neither of which featured any unreleased material and sold an estimated 100,000 copies combined. Moore's next two albums, "Wild Hope" (2007) and "Amanda Leigh" (2009), were critically acclaimed. After turning her focus to acting for the next decade, Moore returned to music in 2020 with her sixth album, "Silver Landings."  Her seventh album, "In Real Life," was released in 2022.

Though Moore voiced a character in 2001's "Dr. Dolittle 2," she made her on-screen acting debut in the Disney film “The Princess Diaries" (also 2001), alongside Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews. Her first starring role was in the 2002 teen drama "A Walk to Remember," based on the best-selling Nicholas Sparks novel. Between 2003 and 2006, Moore continued to appear in films, including "How to Deal" (2003), “Saved!” (2004), “Chasing Liberty,” “(2005), “American Dreamz” (2006), "Southland Tales" (2006), "License to Wed” (2007), and "Because I Said So” (2007). In 2010, Moore portrayed Rapunzel in Disney Animation's "Tangled," which became a massive success commercially and critically. Moore and co-star Zachary Levi performed the climactic song "I See the Light" at the Oscars, where it was nominated for Best Original Song. It later won a Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Moore has continued to voice Rapunzel in other projects, including the short film "Tangled Ever After" (2012); the Disney Channel series "Tangled: The Series,” later retooled into “Rapunzel's Tangled Adventures"; and the feature film "Ralph Breaks the Internet" (2018).

From 2016-2022, Moore starred on the acclaimed NBC drama series "This Is Us," for which she received individual Golden Globe and Emmy nominations and, as part of the ensemble cast, won two Screen Actors Guild awards. Most recently, she appeared in season two of Peacock’s anthology series “Dr. Death." She will star with Kumail Nanjiani in the upcoming horror film “Thread: An Insidious Tale,” set for release in 2025.
