the temptations (miniseries)
he would not, however, have a role as popular as chop top until 2003, when he starred as the maniacal otis b. driftwood (named after groucho marx's character from "a night at the opera") in rob zombie's directorial debut "house of 1000 corpses". as otis, he again became an icon in the horror community. in 2005, he reprised the role of otis in the sequel "the devil's rejects" and in 2009 he played otis in a voice cameo in rob zombie's animated film the haunted world of el superbeasto. moseley's performance in "rejects" inspired an independent campaign for a best supporting actor oscar nomination, which failed. he played in other rob zombie films such as "halloween" and the "grindhouse" fake trailer segment "werewolf women of the ss".
