Tom Noonan passed away peacefully on Valentine’s Day 2026, according to his former co-star Karen Sillas. He was best known for his haunting turn in “Manhunter” and his Sundance-winning indie “What Happened Was…,”. Sillas shared the news on Instagram, writing:“My dear friend and costar, Tom Noonan passed peacefully on Valentine’s Day 2026. Working with him in his original off Broadway play, ‘What Happened Was…,’ at the Paradise Factory Theater in the early nineties, was a turning point for me and my career that still resonates throughout my life and work as an actor.”

My first thought was The Ripper too. Damn I need to watch that movie again.

I'd confuse him with Scott Adsit (Pete from 30 Rock).

Noonan was brilliantly creepy in “Manhunter”. “What Happened Was…” was a nice little indie film. Noonan popped up from time to time in bigger commercial films. “Heat” is a good example…

It's a great movie and criminally underrated. One of the best soundtracks ever.

Manhunter is incredibly underrated and I'd definitely take it over Red Dragon

Last Action Hero is a fun flick.

especially given the popularity of the retrowave aesthetic in recent years I want this movie to become more widely known

The score and the lighting are prime 80s and part of what makes it so good
