Noah Jupe returns as Daniel ‘Danny’ Roper in The Night Manager finale this week, reminding viewers once again just how impressive his career already is.
At only 20 years old, Noah has spent a decade on screen. Viewers will remember him as the quietly brilliant child star from A Quiet Place, and since then he has built a body of work most actors twice his age would envy.
Some might point to his showbusiness upbringing, with both parents working in the industry. But whatever you think about the nepo-baby debate, Jupe backs it up with genuine talent.
Here’s everything you need to know about Noah Jupe, who plays Danny Roper in The Night Manager series 2.
Noah Jupe returns as Danny Roper on The Night Manager
As The Night Manager makes its long-awaited return, several original cast members step back into familiar roles – including Noah Jupe. He first played Daniel ‘Danny’ Roper in 2016 at just 11 years old, in a performance that launched him into the spotlight.
Danny played a crucial role in the story. He was the son of arms dealer Richard Roper, who appeared to meet a fitting end in The Night Manager series 1 finale.
In series 2, viewers meet Danny again, now back in the UK and very different from the boy they once knew. His father is gone, and the weight of that loss has reshaped him.
Speaking about Danny’s emotional state, Noah said: “Daniel has this constant question looming over him [about his dad] and a shadow of grief that has taken its toll. He’s negative and cynical and having a tough time growing up and trying to work out who he is, due to the absence of his father.”
Noah Jupe ‘owes a lot of his career to The Night Manager’
Reflecting on returning to the role after nine years, Noah said: “It’s a dream and has been so much fun. Season one was one of my earliest memories of being on a set, and I owe a lot of my career to The Night Manager. So to come back and step into the shoes of Danny again is an absolute gift. I was chuffed about it.”
He also praised co-star Tom Hiddleston, saying: “Tom is such a special actor. I really looked up to him, and still do – both mentally and physically (he’s a tall guy.) It has been a pleasure to work with Tom again.”
