John Noble’s portrayal of “Walter”, “Walter-nate” and the many versions thereof on Fox’s Fringe is what he may be best known for but he has also appeared in many films and on stage. He has also directed over 80 plays and can also be called upon as a voice coach. In short, he has done it all.
It was Fringe that first introduced me to Mr. Noble. Through the highs and lows of the series I have never come away in anything less than awe at the ability that this man has to pull me into the story whether it is to make me laugh, cry or any and every emotion in between.
To say I was just a little bit excited at the prospect of speaking with John Noble is maybe an understatement of the most extreme variety.
I ask John about the decision to take on a regular series after so much stage and film, the evolution of the character of ‘Walter’ and even get to talk about the (unforgivable) lack of an Emmy nomination.
