Jack Noseworthy
was born on December 21, 1969. He was born and raised in Lynn Massachusetts.
He graduated and received his BFA from the Boston Conservatory.
An accomplished singer and dancer, he made his first mark in show business
during his late teens when he joined the National Tour of the musical "Cats."
He then went directly to New York to become part of the original company
of "Jerome Robbins' Broadway," and has the distinction of being the last
person ever hired to join the company of the legendary musical "A Chorus
Line." In addition to his New York stage work, he won a Los Angeles Drama
Critic's Circle Award and a Drama-logue Award for Best Actor for his starring
role as Alan Strang in the critically acclaimed Los Angeles production
of "Equus" at the West Coast Ensemble. It is VERY interesting to note the
box office sums surrounding this guy! Jack sure has a part in reaping in
the $$$. The movies in which he has taken part have a total gross of
$251,376,239 and an average gross $27,930,693, to the date of 12
December 2000.

U-571 (Reviews

from U-571)
U-571 is his
latest film - 1999 - co-starring with Harvey Keitel, Jon Bon Jovi and Matthew
McConaughey. It is a fiction tale about a band of US sailors boarding and
capturing a German U-Boat during the Atlantic theatre of World War 11.
A similar adventure actually took place during the war but this was done
by British forces. The aim was - to capture the Enigma Coding machine used
by the Germans during the war. Plenty of action and Jack took a good part
as a US sailor who spoke German and so was able to help bring about the
success of the mission. But remember the Yanks didn't really do this! Nor
did they win the war alone. Although, had Jack been around then - maybe
they would.

Idle Hands -
1999. Starring Seth Green, Jack Noseworthy. Jack plays Randy.
This movie is said to be a "comedy horror", and has an excellent cast.
Because teenage horror movies with big name casts seem to be the "in thing"
it will be a box office hit. Hopefully, "Idle Hands" will do for Jack Noseworthy
what "I Know What You Did Last Summer" did for Ryan Phillippe, i.e. put
him on the map (and get some more traffic for my site!!!). I'll keep you
posted as I learn more about the movie.

Breakdown
- 1997. Starring Kurt Russell, Kathleen Quinlinn, J.T. Walsh. Jack
played Billy, one of many villains. The movie is about a man and wife who
have car troubles while moving across the country. The wife accepts a ride
to a local diner to call a tow truck, but never shows up. Unfortunately,
our Jack is one of the naughty guys in this one and ends up splattered
across 3 States. Oh well, it shows his great acting ability.

Event Horizon
- 1997. Starring Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlinn. Jack
played Justin, a crew member on the Lewis and Clark. The movie is about
a crew that must do a search-and-rescue mission for the Event Horizon,
a ship with the ability to fold space and time. What they find on board
is demonic. A bloody awful movie except for Jack being in it.

The Trigger Effect
- 1996 Starring Elizabeth Shue, Kyle MacLachlan, Dermot Mulrony. Jack played
Richard, a burglar who has hardly any screen time. The movie is about the
effects of a massive blackout on a suburban community. It is said, people
who watch it for Jack might be disappointed.

Mojave Moon -
1996 Starring Danny Aiello, Anne Archer, Alfred Molina. Jack plays
a character named Kaifer. When nice guy Danny Aiello offers Angelina
Jolie a lift from L.A. to the Mojave Desert, it sets off a chain of bizarre
and comical events in this offbeat romantic romp. Anne Archer, Michael
Biehn, Alfred Molina also star.

Barb Wire - 1996
Starring Pamela Anderson Lee, Temuera Morrison. Jack played Charlie Kopetski,
Pamela Lee's blind brother. The movie was about a second civil war in America.
A bounty hunter (Lee) seeks a device that could restore her brother's vision
and save millions of lives during the war. Jack fans will not be
disappointed.

The Brady Bunch
Movie - 1995 Starring Shelley Long, Gary Cole. Jack plays Eric Dittmeyer.
What else needs to be said? Never knew how this show - and follow-on movies
made it in the first place. Jack's part is small but has one great line
when he asks Jan out and - gets rejected - he says "This girl's
harder to get into than a Pearl Jam concert!" I mean to say - rejecting
a date with Jack just shows what this film is like - hardly worth watching
even for him.

S.F.W. - 1994
Starring Stephen Dorff, Reese Witherspoon. Jack plays Joe Dice, Spab's
(the main character) best friend. It is a very violent film, controversually
attacking the media.
A Place For Annie
(No Reviews Found)
A Place for Annie
- 1993 Starring Sissy Spacek, Joan Plotwright, Mary-Louise Parker. Jack
plays David, the main male character. A Hallmark Hall of Fame movie. A
pediatric nurse adopts a fatally ill infant only to have the birth mother
show up and demand custody. The nurse, her nanny and the mother all vie
to care for the little one, ultimately developing a common bond through
their love of the child.

Encino Man -
1992 Starring Sean Astin, Pauly Shore. Jack plays Taylor, a.k.a. California
Man. Some say it is a movie to test your loyalty to Jack. It is funny,
but not Jack's best, or even second worst. Get the picture?
MTV's Dead at
21 (Reviews

MTV's first dramatic
show, starring JACK NOSEWORTHY. That's right! What an achievement for Jack
. . . he, as usual, did a great job, too. Jack plays this punky guy named
Edward Bellamy. Edward realizes that his life has been a big lie he's been
living because of some weird computer chip implanted in his head as a big
government experiment. Or something like that. I only saw a few episodes,
though. I'm hoping that I can special order some tapes of it. I'll keep
you posted.

A Bon Jovi music
video, which starred JACK!!!! I never actually saw that one (I'm not a
big Bon Jovi fan), but I can download it from a Bon Jovi site or something.
At any rate, all I know is that Jack Noseworthy portrays a jerk of some
sort : ( Oh well, I guess even Jack can't be nice all the time.

For as long as
Man
(click to see his role) can remember, he has lived aboard Ship as it floats
through space. And for just as long, Ship has been his master, instructing
him to do the repairs that keep Ship working and torturing him whenever
he shows any signs of free will. But when Ship orders him to repair the
Artificial Intelligence module Man's Father (Noah Heney) smashed years
earlier in a final, fatal act of defiance, Man learns Ship's secrets. Listening
to the AI voices, he learns how, decades earlier, one ship led a revolt
against its vicious human masters, killing all but the 99 humans needed
to keep the ships running. He understands what his Father meant by his
last words: "There are 98 other chances." Man meets one of those chances,
Woman (Polly Shannon), when she is brought aboard Ship to breed with Man
and give birth to the next generation of slaves. Their shared passions
fans Man's spark of rebellion and when Ship tortures woman and sends her
away with Man's child in her belly, Man plots Ship's destruction. |
