's Serious Money at The Public Theater. Because of Screen Actors Guild
rules, she had to change her name, since there were already actresses named "Julie Smith" and "Julianne Smith". She chose her father's middle name, "Moore", but because there was already another actress named "Julie Moore", she finally settled on "Julianne Moore."
Moore began starring in feature films in the early 1990s, mostly appearing in supporting roles in films like The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
, Benny & Joon
, and The Fugitive
. Her part in 1993's Short Cuts

. In the Los Angeles Times
review of the film, critic Manohla Dargis
wrote: "The film's three leads are extraordinary, but what Moore does with her role is so beyond the parameters of what we call great acting that it nearly defies categorization." During this period, she also appeared in the commercial successes Hannibal
(replacing Jodie Foster
as Clarice Starling
) and The Forgotten, in Paul Thomas Anderson
's follow-up to Boogie Nights, Magnolia
, and in the Coen brothers
cult hit
The Big Lebowski
. Entertainment Weekly
has chosen her one of The 25 Greatest Actresses of the '90s. In 2003, The Guardian

In November 2006, Moore made her Broadway
debut in the world premiere of David Hare's
new play The Vertical Hour
, directed by Sam Mendes

in Next, a science fiction
action film

ends in tragedy. In 2008, she starred alongside Mark Ruffalo
in Blindness
, a thriller from director Fernando Meirelles
. In her review of the film, Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com
called Moore "an apparition of generosity and compassion who seems in danger of disappearing at any moment. Moore takes the movie's stiff, signpost dialogue and delivers it in a way that's consistently believable. [...] She's a miracle worker, and whatever Meirelles paid her, it isn't nearly enough", while The Austin Chronicle commented that Moore "masterfully characterizes the devoted wife’s metamorphosis into a heroicism both unwanted and unheralded. It’s a rattling, heartrending performance in, yes, a long, hard slough of a film – one that is well worth the journey, if not a repeat trip."
The next year, Moore appeared opposite Colin Firth
in the well-received American drama A Single Man
, for which she received her fifth Golden Globe nomination, with Peter Travers
of Rolling Stone
calling her performance "explosively good". When the cancellation of As the World Turns was announced in late 2009, Moore decided to honor the soap that brought her fame and temporarily returned for a few days as Frannie Hughes. During the 2009–2010 season of 30 Rock

of the New York

, co-starring Annette Bening
and Mark Ruffalo
; Moore was instrumental in getting the film made and in getting Bening involved. The film was both a critical and commercial success, garnering acting and production nominations from the Gotham Awards
, the Independent Spirit Awards
and the Academy Awards
, as well as winning the Golden Globe Award
for "Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy". Roger Ebert
of the Chicago Sun-Times
commented, "Moore and Bening are superb actors here, evoking a marriage of more than 20 years, and all of its shadings and secrets, idealism and compromise", and the Los Angeles Times
review said, "Moore is fearless" and "plays every note perfectly." For this role, Moore received her sixth Golden Globe Award nomination and a BAFTA nomination.
In July 2011, Moore appeared in the comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love., co-starring Steve Carell
and Ryan Gosling
, which was successful commercially and received favorable reviews, with The Globe and Mail
commenting, "some genuinely impressive acting breaks out. The accomplished Moore is an obvious candidate and, even in a confined role, she delivers – here a nervous look, there a tender gesture." It has been announced that Moore is to portray former vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin
in an upcoming HBO drama. Altogether, she has five upcoming projects, amongst others the fantasy film The Seventh Son based on the book series The Wardstone Chronicles
