The actor, director and screenwriter Lee Moran already joined the film in 1909 and he first worked for the Nestor studios. 
In the next years he soon became popular and he took part in a huge number of short movies.
To these movies belong "A Game Bluff" (12), "The Girl and the Sheriff" (12), "The Flower of the Forest" (12), "He and Himself" (13), "Hawkeye to the Rescue" (13), "A Man of the People" (13), "The Brothers" (13), "Snobbery" (14), "Such a Villain" (14), "Captain Bill's Warm Reception" (14) and "Their Ups and Down" (14).

When Lee Moran and Earle Lyons teamed up as a comedian couple they became very successful with their slapstick movies. These movies were very popular during the next five years and came only to a stop because Lee Mraon and Earle Lyons concentrated to their solo career again. 

To Lee Morans countless movies in the second half of the 10s belong "When the Mummy Cried for Help" (15), "When Eddie Took a Bath" (15), "When He Proposed" (15), "The Baby's Fault" (15), "Almost a King" (15), "The Rise and Fall of Officer 13" (15), "Lizzie and the Beauty Contest" (15), "When Lizzie Went to Sea" (15), "Almost a Knockout" (15), "When the Losers Won" (16), "The Janitor's Busy Day" (16), "The Barfly" (16), "A Million in Sight" (17), "Moving Day" (17), "The Tail of a Cat" (18), "The Dodgers" (18), "Please Hit Me" (18), "Guilty" (18), "The Strike Breakers" (19), "Fun in "A" Flat" (19), "Half and Half" (19) and "In the Good Old Days" (19).

In those years he also realised many movies as a director and he often wrote the scripts.

His enormous activitiy in front of the camera continued in the 20s and he impersonated roles in productions like "Stop That Shimmie" (20), "The Captivating Captive" (20), "La La Lucille" (20), "Blue Sunday" (21), "The Touchdown" (22), "The Rubberneck" (22), "Three Weeks Off" (22), "Apartment Wanted" (22), "Foolish Lives" (22), "The American Plan" (23), "Daring Youth" (24), "The Tomboy" (24), "After Business Hours" (25), "Tessie" (25), "Take It from Me" (26), "Fast and Furious" (27), "The Irresistible Lover" (27), "The Actress" (28), "Outcast" (28), "The Show of Shows" (29) and "The Aviator" (29).

Already since the middle of the 20s he concentrated again to his acting career and when the talkies arose he continued his career but from now on he often played support roles in contrast to the 10s. 

To his last movies belong "Golden Dawn" (30), "My Harem" (30), "The Mad Genius" (31), "Exposure" (32), "The Death Kiss" (32), "Grand Slam" (33), "The Eleventh Commandment" (33), "The Circus Clown" (34), "Night Life of the Gods" (35) and "The Calling of Dan Matthews" (35).

After more than 400 movies as an actor, about 100 scripts and nearly the same amount of directed movies he retired from the film business.
