Date of birth: September 4, 1941

Shemar is not very close to his father. He was raised by a single mother, and Mr. Moore wasn’t present at the family picture.

Now he stays in touch with Mr. Moore but doesn’t see him very often. The actor tells it is because he wants to protect his mom. The reason is hard to divorce his parents. They had “an incident”, the details of which Shemar doesn’t publicize, but after that, his dad was imprisoned for four years. Sherrod lost connection with his son when Shemar was still a baby.

As the actor tells, his father is a part of his life, but “on his terms”. Nevertheless, he found the inner force to forgive his dad and even bought him “a place to live”. 

Now Sherrod is a person of success. He serves as the president of a glass repair company “Millennium 2 Inc”. When he was in the late 40s, he married Nobuko Takahashi, a woman 9 years younger than him. He welcomed two sons and two daughters with her. So, Shemar has 4 half-siblings from the paternal side.

She took little Shemar with her, and the boy spent the first six years in that country. Holland is his first language, he learned English much later, when they returned to the USA.
