Biography

Noah attended Boston University, College of Fine Arts, where he furthered his education by studying at the renowned Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) and the prestigious London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) before making the move to New York City.

He secured his first major breakthrough by taking over the lead role, just days before opening, in Brian Friel's acclaimed play 'Philadelphia Here I Come!' at the esteemed Williamstown Theater Festival. His extensive stage work includes New York premieres of Jordan Harrison's Pulitzer Prize-nominated play 'Marjorie Prime', alongside Lois Smith and Steven Root, at Playwrights Horizons, as well as another Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, 'Yellow Face', by David Henry Hwang, at The Public Theater.

Noah has had the privilege of working at numerous esteemed New York off-Broadway theaters, including a world premiere theatrical adaptation of Tennessee Williams' unproduced screenplay 'One Arm' from acclaimed director Moises Kaufman, at The New Group. Outside of New York City, Noah has worked at the renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival and many regional theaters across the United States, including a production of 'Bus Stop' at the Huntington Theater, for which he received nominations for both an Elliot Norton Award and an IRNE Award for best lead actor.

He has also had the opportunity to work alongside some of the most talented actors in the industry, including Blair Underwood in a production of 'Othello' at The Old Globe, David Mamet's 'Romance' at the Mark Taper Forum, earning a Garland Award nomination for best supporting actor, and 'Our Town' opposite Bryce Dallas Howard, among many others.

Noah found a strong pathway into television and film work after playing the role of 'David Connor' on FX's Emmy-winning series "Damages" opposite Glenn Close and Rose Byrne. He went on to work as a series regular on several other television shows, as well as numerous guest credits and recurring arcs, including an appearance on the HBO Martin Scorsese series "Vinyl" as music legend David Bowie.

Noah lives with his wife and daughter, splitting his time between Los Angeles and New York City.
