Moses moved the the UK in the 1970s, where he mainly worked inn television. He was cast as a barman in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) because of his ability to speak Arabic and travelled to Egypt for filming. He was approached for Octopussy (1983) to play the part of Sadruddin, the local MI6 station chief.
