In the 2014 film Noah, which actor played the title character?

In the 2014 film Noah, Russell Crowe played the title character.

Noah is a 2014 biblical epic directed by Darren Aronofsky and written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel. Russell Crowe portrays Noah, while Jennifer Connelly plays Naameh, Noah’s wife, and Emma Watson plays Ila, an adopted daughter-in-law character created for the film’s story.

The movie draws on the Genesis Flood narrative but expands it with original characters, conflicts, visual designs, and dramatic events. It is therefore not a scene-by-scene film version of the biblical text. The production also incorporates ideas associated with Jewish and Christian traditions while taking substantial creative liberties.

The title role is sometimes confused with other biblical epics starring Crowe or with films about Noah’s Ark made for television. The relevant identification is the 2014 feature film Noah, whose lead actor is Russell Crowe.
