Surprisingly little information is available regarding the
underground/alternative cinema maverick, despite the fact that he was
actively involved in the film industry for over three decades. Born
Titus Moede in 1938, he would later often use the surname Titus Moody,
allegedly taken from a recurring character on Fred Allen's radio
program.
He got his start in the industry with a series of bit parts in
lower-tier teenage-themed pictures, beginning in 1958 with The Party
Crashers. This quickly segued into a handful of TV credits, which
included parts on The Twilight Zone and Combat. The mid-1960s would
find him very active in low-budget indie fringe cinema, most notably as
a stock performer in the notorious efforts of director Ray Dennis
Steckler. He would dabble a bit behind the camera, as well, eventually
taking on a number of eccentric personal vanity projects like Outlaw
Motorcycles and The Last American Hobo.
By 1970, Moede had mostly resigned himself to work on sexploitation and
hard-X features, including his notorious cult feature The Dirtiest Game
in the World(1970). He passed on in Los Angeles from cancer on Feb. 6,
2001, at age 62.
