Which actor played Noah in Darren Aronofsky’s 2014 film Noah?

Russell Crowe played Noah in Darren Aronofsky’s 2014 film Noah.

The film stars Crowe as the biblical patriarch who receives visions of the coming Flood and builds an enormous vessel to preserve life. It was directed by Darren Aronofsky and co-written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel, with a screenplay that draws on Genesis while adding substantial dramatic and mythic material.

The supporting cast includes Jennifer Connelly as Naameh, Noah’s wife; Emma Watson as Ila; Logan Lerman as Ham; Douglas Booth as Shem; and Anthony Hopkins as Methuselah. The movie therefore presents a cinematic family ensemble rather than a literal screen reproduction of every Genesis detail.

Noah was released internationally in 2014 and became a major studio production about the Flood story. Its casting and interpretation should be kept separate from the biblical text, which does not provide modern actor names or a film-style character biography.
