Biography

A talented supporting player whose numerous film roles may have captured the very essence of infrequently showered gen-X angst, actor Jack Noseworthy may be best known for his frequent portrayal of dingy rockers with a bad attitude and an axe to grind. Still, with roles in such thrillers as the Jonathan Mostow thrillers U-571 and Breakdown, Noseworthy has proven he could transfer his grungy persona to compelling roles as a questionably slow-witted grease-monkey or a member of a distressed WWII submarine crew with equal measures of zeal and conviction. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Noseworthy gained early experience when, in his late teens, he joined a national touring production of Cats. Soon picking up numerous other roles after relocating to New York City, the struggling young actor would next receive his B.F.A. from the Boston Conservatory. After becoming the last actor ever to be hired to join the cast of A Chorus Line, Noseworthy would get an early break in front of the camera with a role in the Bon Jovi music video "Always." A natural in front of the camera, roles in films such as Encino Man (1992) and Alive (1993) were soon to follow, paving the way to a comfortable mid- to late-'90s career with roles in such popular films as S.F.W. (1994), The Brady Bunch Movie (1995), and Breakdown. Roles in Clean and Narrow and U-571 found Noseworthy expanding his dramatic range, and the actor proved that he indeed had a sense of humor with roles in such later films as John Waters' Cecil B. Demented and the blaxploitation parody Undercover Brother (2002). ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Jack Noseworthy
Born December 21, 1964 (1964-12-21) (age 44)
Lynn, Massachusetts

Jack Noseworthy, Jr. (born December 21, 1964) is an American actor, whose most visible movie roles were perhaps Event Horizon and U-571.

Noseworthy was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, the son of Jack Sr. and Thelma Noseworthy. He has two older sisters, Debbie and Nancy; and a younger half-sister, fellow actress Katie Wright, who co-starred with him in the movie Idle Hands. Jack graduated from Lynn English High School in 1982[1] and attended Boston Conservatory, from where he has a BFA.[2]

Noseworthy was in Bon Jovi's music video "Always", with Carla Gugino and Keri Russell. He co-starred with Meryl Streep in the Public Theater's 2006 production of Mother Courage and Her Children. He also starred in a short-lived MTV drama series, Dead at 21. In December 2005, he originated the role of Armand in the musical Lestat during its pre-Broadway run at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco, but left the production during its first week of previews (he was replaced by actor Drew Sarich). He is also the only male actor to play Peter Pan in the musical adaptation, though he was only an understudy.[3]

Noseworthy made his debut as a nightclub performer in September 2006, at the Metropolitan Room in New York City. His nightclub act, titled "You Don't Know Jack!," is directed by Gary Griffin. He is also in a Burbank musical at the Colony Theater called No Way To Treat A Lady written by Douglas J. Cohen. It opened on Saturday, April 18th, 2009.
