Tom Noonan (born April 12, 1951) is an American actor, director, and screenwriter, perhaps best known for his role as Francis Dollarhyde in Manhunter (1986), Bill Lacey in Tales From the Darkside (1990), Sammy Barnathan in Synecdoche, New York (2008), and as the voice of everyone else in Anomalisa (2015).

Early life

Noonan was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, the son of Rita (McGannon), a mathematics teacher, and John Noonan, Sr., a jazz singer and surgeon of dental surgery. He had an older brother, John Ford Noonan, a playwright, and two sisters, Barbara and Nancy. Noonan was a natural basketball player, and he said, "playing basketball is how I learned to be a lot of ways." It's how I became involved in doing this... I never acted as a juvenile. I never did school plays. I never acted before I was 27 years old; if you're in front of people, you learn a lot because you're performing something that you enjoy doing. A number of the skills that you'll need for acting emerged from this... It's like a life-and-death contest in front of people you want to impress."

Career

Noonan began working in theatre (appearing in Sam Shepard's play Buried Child's first Off-Broadway version), but he soon started filming in the 1980s. Noonan's imposing presence, at 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m), is most likely to be responsible for his inclination to be depicted as menacing villains in RoboCop 2, Last Action Hero, Manhunter, and The Pledge. In "The Moving Finger," the series finale of the horror anthology Monsters, his height was used for comedic effect (several episodes of which he also produced and wrote).

In Michael Mann's Manhunter, the first film to feature Hannibal Lecter, Noonan played Francis Dolarhyde, a serial murderer who murders entire families. In 1995, Kelso in Heat was another supporting role, as well as another collaboration with director Michael Mann. In The Monster Squad, he also played the Frankenstein monster. He wrote several plays during the 1990s, including two that he converted into films, including two that he made into movies, What Happened Was... (1994) and The Wife (1995). Noonan appeared in several other films, including a highly praised role as Sammy Barnathan in Charlie Kaufman's debut as a director in Synecdoche, New York.

Noonan has appeared in television shows, including The X-Files, which was written specifically for him), and Crime Scene Investigation (in which he appeared alongside William Petersen, his nemesis in Manhunter) and Detective Victor Huntley in Damages. He recently appeared on Blacklist as The Stew Maker, Louie, as a doctor who treats the young Louie through the crucifixion in a graphic anatomical perspective. In the AMC original series Hell on Wheels, Nathaniel Cole portrayed him.

In 2015, Noonan performed all of the supporting characters in Duke Johnson and Charlie Kaufman's stop-motion comedy-drama film Anomalisa, for which he received the San Diego Film Critics Society Award for Best Supporting Actor.
