2. He’s A Family Man
Balancing a busy career and life at home isn’t always easy, but it’s something that Noah has managed to do. He has been married to actress Lyndsy Fonseca since 2016. The two met while working together on the TV show Nikita. Noah and Lyndsy have one child together.
3. He Has Lots of Theater Experience
Lots of actors gravitate towards TV and film work because it often provides more money and exposure than theater. However, the stage is still the place where many actors feel most at home, and Noah Bean is one of them. During an interview with The TV Addict, Noah said, “In television it’s more like life, you just have to be brave and play each new scene for what it is. It’s difficult and can be frustrating but is still a lot of fun. I love the theater and would always go back to do a play if it was an exciting project. I’ve got a theater company in New York called Stage13, so that keeps me involved even when I’m busy doing this.”
4. He Loves Being Out In Nature
From the outside looking in, the entertainment industry seems exciting in glamorous. In reality, however, it can often be chaotic and stressful. One of Noah’s favorite ways to decompress is by spending time outdoors. He loves exploring his surroundings, going on hikes, and relaxing by the water.

Shyness isn’t a quality that most people would associate with someone who works in the entertainment industry. However, many actors have expressed that they were actually very shy when they were younger. Noah told Broadway Buzz, “I would never have imagined myself being an actor when I was young. I was deathly shy and basically scared of people in general. I feel awful for my mom because the school would call her and ask if there was something wrong at home—I just wouldn’t speak!”
