Tom Noonan

Tom Noonan, born in 1951 and passing away in 2026, was a multifaceted American artist who carved out a unique niche for himself across film, theatre, and writing. He rose to prominence for his chilling turns as Francis Dollarhyde in "Manhunter" and Frankenstein's Monster in "The Monster Squad," roles that showcased his ability to inhabit complex, often monstrous characters.
