In the 2014 film Noah, which actor played Noah, the biblical flood survivor?
Answer
Russell Crowe
In the 2014 film Noah, Russell Crowe played Noah, the biblical flood survivor.
Directed by Darren Aronofsky, Noah is a dramatic fantasy film inspired by the Genesis flood narrative and other ancient traditions. Crowe portrays Noah as a man who receives visions of an approaching cataclysm and is charged with preserving human and animal life.
The film was released in 2014 and features Jennifer Connelly as Naameh, Noah’s wife, and Emma Watson as Ila, Noah’s adopted daughter. Its story expands substantially beyond the short biblical account, adding elaborate visual effects, supernatural beings, and invented character details.
The film’s casting can be confused with other biblical epics. Christian Bale played Moses in Exodus: Gods and Kings, while Hugh Jackman and Liam Neeson appeared in unrelated historical or fantasy productions. Crowe’s role in Noah is specifically the title character and Ark builder.
