Noah's Park

I got some really good help when I contacted Regtransfers,” he tells us. “And after considering a number of suggestions from your helpful sales team, I finally settled for the registration B4 WCH to signify: Before Will Curtis, Holby”
While we’re on the topic of personal registrations, and as Noah is no longer at Holby, we suggest that he might now wish to consider 58 NH as a replacement. This is one of our exclusive registrations and really does appeal to Noah as it’s such a unique and personal number. Noah is the first to admit how stunning it looks on his Bentley. And, as our photographer points out: “It looks like the cherry on the icing!”

But Noah tells us that he is thinking of selling the Bentley now, as his residency at Holby came to a tragic conclusion in March, when his Will Curtis character suffered a painful death after being impaled on some scaffolding. This was Noah’s second fatal departure from a soap opera, having first been killed-off some ten years earlier when, as Luke McAllister in Emmerdale, he died in a car crash while attempting to escape from the clutches of the dreaded Dingle family! And Noah is quick to point out that he came to an unfortunate demise in two of his recent film outings: Event Horizon and 28 Days Later. “What does this say about my choice of roles?” he contemplates wryly.

We pluck up the courage to ask Noah to explain the origins of his nickname, ‘Nut’. He looks surprised and impressed with the depth of our research.

“I don’t know if it’s because of my personality or the rather unfortunate incident when I was six and got a hazelnut stuck up my nose!” he is happy to confide.

Noah’s youthful looks make it hard to believe that he’s been appearing regularly on our TV screens for over eighteen years now. He made his television debut in 1987 at the tender age of twelve as Inspector Mike Burden's son, John, in the first of the Ruth Rendell Inspector Wexford novels to be adapted for the small screen.
