 Moran was usually credited for his performances, but almost never received star or featured billing.One exception was Monogram Pictures's "Return of the Ape Man" (1944), starring Bela Lugosi and John Carradine, in which Moran shared credit for the title role with George Zucco, although, in fact, Zucco became ill and Moran replaced him – Zucco does not appear in the film as released.Also, at the beginning of his acting career, Moran was part of the featured cast in Raoul Walsh's "Sailor's Luck" (1933).
