ø Noah Connor Landon was born on June 2nd, 1984 currently making him 24 years old. He was born in Los Angeles, California to Peter and Joanie Landon. His father Peter is a big time producer in Los Angeles and has produced over 100 films. His mother Joanie became a full time mother when she gave birth to Noah, but had previously been a lounge singer in Las Vegas.
ø Noah's mother made him practice piano, guitar and singing from the time he was old enough to learn. He's been playing guitar since he was six years old, though when he was that young he had a hard time focusing on the guitar but later learned that he liked creating the music.
ø He grew up in a very out of the normal lifestyle. Both of his parents were in the Los Angeles and/or Hollywood scene so neither of them were always home to take care of him. Though he loved music, and the film aspect of both of his parents' lives he still wished they'd been around more often.
ø When he was fifteen years old he joined a band as a drummer. He chose to be the drummer because he wasn't perfect at that part of his musical talents yet. He spent six months with that band before leaving it to join another band. After another six months of playing local shows in Los Angeles he decided to keep the music thing to himself. He wasn't a big fan of being in front of so many people on display.
ø At seventeen he realized he wasn't an in the scene kind of guy, he really liked being behind the scenes. Though he could learn a lot of information from his father it didn't seem right to steal from him that way. He wanted to learn the business on his own, go to film school and be apart of film away from his father's help.
 ø At eighteen years old he got married as a surefire way to get out of his house. Also, his grandmother gave him a hefty wedding present of 20,000 dollars. He did love the woman he married, her name being Naomi Johnson, but at heart he knew it was only to get out of his house and out of his parents' shadow. He wanted so bad to live his own life that it meant making the mistake of marriage too young.
ø Got his first tattoo a little after his eighteenth birthday. The NJ on his neck standing for his wife's initials.
ø Five months of living together in an apartment in Los Angeles his wife got pregnant. Three months later she miscarried sending them through the worst emotional event of their lives. Noah dove into work to avoid the problem, spending too much time away from Naomi in order to stray from the issue altogether.
ø The strain of Noah going through film school, not being home and working two jobs to keep afloat eventually killed their relationship. Naomi blamed her miscarriage on him since he wasn't home to take care of her, and he blamed her lifestyle for why she lost the baby. Their marriage didn't make it to it's one year anniversary, they divorced three days shy of it. The miscarriage and the fact that they were both so young were major obstacles in their lives and they couldn't survive passed it.
ø With his divorce and only being nineteen years old he took it as a sign to leave Los Angeles all together. Though his parents saw it as only running away from his issues, he wanted to explore other aspects of his life. He fled to northern California to live with a cousin he grew up with. Though film making was a huge focus of his, he just needed to get away and put his life in perspective.
ø After a year in Northern California working on independent shoots, commercials and music videos he decided in order to follow his dream and path in life he'd have to go back to Los Angeles. Although, he didn't want to go back where he'd only be known for his family background. So he said goodbye to the cousin who let him invade his life and shipped out to New York for a new beginning. All new boundaries to invade.
ø He got an apartment, a car and a job all within one week. He hated that his name always got him work because of his father, but at this point he was tired of being petty and picky about the jobs that were going to keep him clothed, fed and with a home. He's never broke because of a pillow of money he lays on in a bank account, but he's vowed to only touch it if he has nothing else.
ø He began working as an assistant editor in New York. He fell in love with editing. The completely behind the scenes giving every movie their magic, the spark and the timing.
ø Still wears a wedding band on his ring finger even with the divorce, not that he hasn't faced being single he just isn't necessarily ready to date again. It's much easier to say he's married than to explain why he's divorced at such a young age.
 ø Has a bank account that he never touches which includes the 20,000 dollars his grandmother gave him and money that his parents deposit into that account for emergency money.
ø Lived a less than rich life style, he doesn't consider himself a rich kid though a lot of other aspects point in that direction. He knows there's a blanket of money in that account, but tries his hardest to live on his own made money. He used it for his move to New York and to put a deposit on his apartment. Though he'd hate to admit it, he wouldn't be anywhere if he didn't have the financial support.
ø Doesn't tell anyone he just meets about his background. There are some things better left unsaid.
ø Is very cynical when it comes to love and tends to indulge himself in sexual situations so he doesn't have to let his emotions out. That way he can rely on just having sex and not having to get involved.
ø Since his move to New York whenever he's not working on a film or editing at the studio he works part time at a local Starbucks where he spends a lot of his time just connecting with people over coffee. He does everything for reasons other than money, it's his way of living.
ø Has a secret love for pizza and cheese sticks.
ø Owns three dogs, a pug, a keeshond and a Siberian husky. Their names are Ewan, Cocoa and Sketch.
ø Feels the most rewarding feeling in the world is watching the credits of films that feature his name. It's a sense of accomplishment. He stays through the credits in every movie he sees in the theater.
ø Likes to dress up in suits or dress down and wear plain t-shirts and jeans. He loves all clothes, and any type of clothes.
ø Will wear make up on occasion, to premieres or events.
ø Has ever changing hair, different colors and styles.
ø Though he won't admit it, regrets getting married so young just because he didn't want to be at home anymore. He sees now that it was a dumb and selfish decision. He has an underlying dislike of himself because he knows he really screwed his relationship up by the marriage.
ø Only moved to New York to get away from the California lifestyle. He has a best friend and a cousin who live in New York so he thought that would be the best place for him. He considered it his best next adventure.
ø He settled himself into his place and is currently working both jobs. One job he uses for his social fun and to meet people. His other job keeps him away from people for hours and a time, in a little room with computers, so this way he can have a life.
ø He gets a new tattoo every two months, and is due for a new one soon.
All that remains...
