Moll's television appearances spanned a wide range of shows, including Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, 7th Heaven, Smallville, No Place Like Home, Cold Case, and Headless Horseman.

Apart from his successful acting career, Moll was known for his passion for bird watching. He eventually retired to the tranquil mountain community of Big Bear Lake.
