Noah Stanning – School Kid – Actor – Eight Year-Old Ninja
Noah is one kid with big plans. Like Calvin of “Calvin and Hobbs” fame, he’s the hero of his own imaginary universe. Life is his action epic. Now, for the first time, Noah has had his performance captured. Immortality is his, and he likes it.

Noah enjoys his childhood with enthusiastic glee. Movement is his ally as he improves at gymnastics, swimming, dancing (mostly his own free form style – think a young Napoleon Dynamite), and ninja style fighting.

His father is a scriptwriter so Noah also has big plans to write and star in his own movies. Genre films of course. Noah has owned two goldfish: “Sharky” and “Centipede-Centipede”. Both died of natural causes.
