Noah Egidi Galvin (born May 6, 1994) is an American actor and singer. He is best known for playing Kenny O'Neal in the ABC sitcom The Real O'Neals and later taking over the titular role in the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen.

Early life

Galvin was born and raised in Katonah, New York. Galvin has two siblings, including multi-instrumentalist Yoke Lore.[1] His father is Catholic, of Irish and Italian descent,[2] and his mother, Abbie (née Fink), is Jewish; he was raised "both Jewish and Catholic going to CCD, Hebrew School and church,"[3][4] and has described himself as Jewish.[5]

Acting career

Before starring in The Real O'Neals, he also appeared Off-Broadway for companies such as Signature, Playwrights Horizons, MCC, The Vineyard, The Public, The Culture Project, The Flea, The Wild Project, New York Theater Workshop, the Barrow Street Theater, Rattlestick, Ensemble Studio Theater, and many others. His audiobook work includes Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Matthew Quick's Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock.

In August 2017, Galvin was named as a temporary replacement for the title role in Dear Evan Hansen, after the departure of Ben Platt. Galvin assumed the role on November 21, 2017, and played his final performance on February 4, 2018.[6] He also took part of the Broadway production Waitress, playing Ogie from April 29, 2019, to August 18, 2019, where Todrick Hall took over the role. In addition to his stage roles, Galvin also narrated the character part of Arthur in What If It's Us, a novel by Adam Silvera and Becky Albertalli.[7] He subsequently narrated the Gimlet podcast, The Two Princes,[8] which was released June 4, 2019.

On February 17, 2020, Galvin starred in Manhattan Concert Productions' one-night-only 50th Anniversary concert presentation of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Lincoln Center.

In 2020, Galvin joined the cast of the television series The Good Doctor in the recurring role of Dr. Asher Wolke.

Personal life

Galvin is openly gay. He came out to his mother when he was 14 years old.[9] As of February 2019 he splits his time between Manhattan and Los Angeles, California.[10] In January 2020, Galvin began dating actor-singer Ben Platt, whom Galvin replaced in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen in 2017.[11]
