His career took off in 2007 when he won the role of Dr. David Connor in the first season of the FX series Damages, starring Glenn Close, whom Noah calls an inspiration and mentor. Before being cast on Damages, he appeared on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Ed, Joan of Arcadia, and Numb3rs and in a variety of television commercials.[7]

Other television credits include recurring roles on the Turner Network series Dark Blue, and NBC comedy-drama Lipstick Jungle, as well as guest-star roles on such series as Cold Case, Private Practice, Fringe, Medium, Itā€™s Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Crumbs.[8]

He was the male lead in the romantic comedy feature film The Pill, opposite Rachel Boston.
