Noble was born in Valdosta Ga. later settling in Trenton, NJ. Noble started off performing with a drill team, sports, dancing and music. He majored in Architectural Engineering at Mercer College later taking what he thought was an easy course in theater--an applied lab. The class launched a production, "The Tavern" where Noble's only job was to open and close a curtain--an easy C+. As Murphy would have it, a cast member contacted Mono and Noble was remanded (Pun intended) to fill this small part as "The Attendant." Opening night, Noble stood back stage, next to a prop guy on a tall ladder, who was sprinkling snow flakes over the tavern's front entrance and display window. Noble's heart, pounding like a drum uncontrollably, waited for his cue. Trying to calm himself down desperately made him miss the entrance cue. Noble abruptly dashed for the door, trying not to spoil his easy grade, slammed into the prop guy's ladder and the box of snow went flying. With the ladder about to tumble over, the prop guy grabbed hold the set. His legs are dangled in the display window in front of the audience. Now, the audience roaring with laughter. The prop-guy is scrambling for his safety while his box of snow lands on Noble's head while reaching for the set's door knob. The onstage actors are repeatedly sounded the cue line again and again. The door knob opened and Noble fell through landing on the floor with the box of snow on his head in a completely black asylum outfit. Noble ascends from under the box, struggling to find his 18th century top hat, and every time Noble spoke a line a snow flake would fly from his mouth. The audience completely howl with laughter. What an intro to Noble's theatre world. That jolt of excitement never faded from his memory and the rest is obvious history.
