At around 10 years of age, Noah Jupe first got noticed in his role on the critically acclaimed mini-series, The Night Manager. Since then, he has gone on to act in notable films such as Ford v. Ferrari, alongside Christian Bale, Honey Boy, as a young Shia LaBeouf, and A Quiet Place, with director/actor John Krasinski.
The now almost 16-year-old actor most recently appeared in the HBO series, The Undoing, and will reprise his role of Marcus Abbott in the long-awaited sequel, A Quiet Place Part II. He has already been nominated for several awards in both the U.K. and the U.S., even winning the award for “Best Performance by an Actor 23 and Under” for his performance in Honey Boy by the Hollywood Critics Association Awards in 2019. Noah Jupe’s impressive career has only just begun and before he takes off, it’s worth seeing his biggest projects to date and the roles the talented actor has brought to life.
Henry Fraser (The Undoing)
Jupe starred in HBO’s 2020 mystery, psychological thriller mini-series The Undoing alongside Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, and Donald Sutherland. The story follows Grace Fraser (Kidman) a wealthy New York therapist who gets caught up in a murder case.
Jupe plays Henry, the son of Grace and Jonathan (Grant). Henry is torn between his parents throughout the series and attends an elite private school with the son of the murdered victim. In an interview, Noah considers his character to be smart and inquisitive, but his secrets often way heavy on him as he tries to keep his family from falling apart.
Marcus Abbott (A Quiet Place)
A Quiet Place was a phenomenon directed by John Krasinski and starring him and his real-life wife, Emily Blunt. The two have three kids at the start of the film, with Noah Jupe playing the middle child, Marcus. Unlike his sister, Marcus is often afraid and the most traumatized by the monsters in relation to the rest of his family. Throughout the story, he is seen standing by or holding onto his parents in an effort to feel comfortable.
Overcoming his fear is Marcus’ main arc in the film, leading to him successfully launching fireworks to distract the monsters in order to save his family. Although A Quiet Place Part II was pushed to April 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the trailer shows Marcus in a flashback sequence that has him in the car with his mom driving through the streets in order to evade the initial attack from the monsters.
Peter Miles (Ford V Ferrari)
Ford V Ferrari tells the true story of the auto designer, Carroll Shelby, and driver, Ken Miles, who made the Ford GT40, a new racing car, able to go head to head with the unseated reign of Ferrari. The film was nominated at the 92nd Academy Awards for Best Picture and starred Matt Damon as Shelby and Christian Bale as Miles.
Jupe plays Peter Miles, the son of the famed race car driver. As a fan of racing, Jupe was excited to be a part of the movie. While the real Ken Miles passed away, the real Peter Miles actually collaborated with Bale in order to help him prepare for the role of his father.
Otis (Honey Boy)
Honey Boy is a film written by Shia LaBeouf and is inspired by his life as a child actor and his relationship with his father. LaBeouf wrote the film as a form of therapy while in rehab and ultimately took on the role of his father, which gave him a deeper perspective into his life.
Noah Jupe plays a young Shia LaBeouf as the character Otis in the film. Jupe has talked about the amount of work he did for the role, watching all of Shia’s work and becoming familiar with his personality. In fact, he had never really seen any of Shia’s movies before, but he is now one of his favorite actors.
Doxy (Holmes & Watson)
Holmes & Watson featured the return of comedy duo Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as legendary characters Sherlock Holmes and John Watson respectively. The movie was a box-office flop, making only $40 million worldwide in comparison to Step Brother ($128 million) and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby ($163 million).
The detectives implore the help of a group of street children in order to gather information across London. Noah Jupe plays Doxy, one of the key children in this ragtag team.
Lucas Janssen (The Titan)
The Netflix original film, The Titan, stars Sam Worthington, Taylor Schilling, and Noah Jupe as a military family that takes part in a genetic evolution experiment. The science-fiction thriller was an international production between several countries including the U.K., U.S., Germany, and Spain.
Jupe was only 10 years-old when production began on February 1, 2016, and he celebrated his 11-year-old birthday on set later that month.
Jack Will (Wonder)
Based on the novel of the same name by R.J. Palacio, Wonder stars Jacob Tremblay as Auggie Pullman, a boy with Treacher Collins syndrome. While Auggie faces some bullies at school, he eventually becomes friends with Jack Will, a nice boy played by Jupe.
Famed film critic Roger Ebert stated that Noah’s portrayal is, “one of the film’s truest joys, as well as a source of legitimate drama.” Jupe went on to be nominated by the London Film Critics Circle for Young British/Irish Performer of the Year.
Nicky Lodge (Suburbicon)
The Coen Brothers have produced or directed a film almost every year since 2000. In 2017, they co-produced Suburbicon, directed by George Clooney. The film takes place in the 1950s, where a home invasion shakes the world of a father and son played by Matt Damon and Noah Jupe.
Similar to his role in Honey Boy, Jupe is forced to play a child of a single father and one who doesn’t offer much in the way of love and comfort. Director George Clooney said in an interview that Jupe often did all of his scenes in one take and called him a genius for his work-ethic and acting ability.
Kingsley Conan Doyle (Houdini And Doyle)
Houdini and Doyle was a short-lived show on Fox that was loosely based on the real-world friendship between magician Harry Houdini and author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Noah Jupe plays Kingsley Conan Doyle, the son of the Sherlock Holmes creator.
This is the second project that Jupe worked on that was related to Sherlock Holmes, with his role in the previously mentioned Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly comedy. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s son’s real name was Arthur Alleyne Kingsley and died at the age of 26 after contracting pneumonia in the Battle of the Somme during World War I.
Daniel Roper (The Night Manager)
The Night Manager was a six-part mini-series co-produced by BBC and AMC. It featured several notable U.K. actors, including Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, and Olivia Colman, who all went on to win a Golden Globe for their performances.
Noah Jupe plays Danny Roper, the son of Dicky (Laurie) a powerful arms dealer. The series was Jupe’s first recurring role.
