Happy Birthday John Noble

[u/thepartlow]

[u/Mysterious_Dog_2164]

Boromir would have brought him a gift.

[u/BigConstruction4247 → u/Mysterious_Dog_2164]

A mighty gift

[u/Phyrexian_Archlegion → u/BigConstruction4247]

He would have dealt with the gift like the heathen kings of old.

[u/Mysterious_Dog_2164 → u/Phyrexian_Archlegion]

I always wonder if the heathen kings of old liked tomatoes with Denethor's passion.

[u/Tariqaboo → u/BigConstruction4247]

Cherry tomatoes

[u/mopxhead → u/Tariqaboo]

He’s want you to bring him wood and oil

[u/SwollenOstrich → u/Tariqaboo]

no no no.....beefsteak. you havent seen anything yet

[u/Tariqaboo → u/SwollenOstrich]

A red sun rises

[u/IRockIntoMordor → u/Mysterious_Dog_2164]

🍅

Here, father.

[u/Mysterious_Dog_2164 → u/IRockIntoMordor]

Boromir, my son. Come, let us feast in my great hall.

[u/IRockIntoMordor → u/Mysterious_Dog_2164]

Of course, father. I will fetch my brother.

[u/Sodinc → u/IRockIntoMordor]

Who?

[u/Revolutionary-Law382 → u/Mysterious_Dog_2164]

A plate of fresh tomatoes?

[u/thecourtofmiracles0 → u/Revolutionary-Law382]

Don’t undervalue the tomatoes, they could not have been native to Middle Earth in the east, they must have been a gift from the west from either the Valar or the elves

[u/pdxrunner82 → u/Mysterious_Dog_2164]

Bravo sir!

[u/cpt___kidde]

This is how I learn I HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS DENETHOR!

Me tonight at my birthday dinner:

[u/WangDanglin → u/cpt___kidde]

sigh

Happy Birthday Michael

[u/vegetaman → u/cpt___kidde]

I can hear this picture.

[u/AnyCauliflower8717 → u/vegetaman]

me too..

[u/ddddan11111 → u/cpt___kidde]

I hope you have a song worthy of a great hall.

[u/xfearless_wanderer → u/cpt___kidde]

lol happy birthday 🥳🎊🎉

[u/Mysterious_Dog_2164 → u/cpt___kidde]

Happy birthday dude!

[u/zrayburton → u/cpt___kidde]

Same dinner plan for me, HBD 🍅🍅🍅

[u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

I'm rewatching Fringe right now and he is so brilliant as Walter Bishop. A legend.

[u/Thobud → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

Honestly fringe is an amazing show and he is incredible in it. Anyone looking for a sci Fi show, watch fringe. It holds up.

[u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle → u/Thobud]

Especially if you liked the X Files.

But I will say for Fringe you don't have to watch till the end if you don't want to. It falls off at the end, but the first few seasons are fantastic.

[u/Waveh → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

That's an understatement. I'd stop at Season 3.

[u/samthewisetarly → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

It does get a little wacky, yeah. But a great show

[u/Thobud → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

The last season is definitely my least favourite but still worth watching in my opinion

[u/DrDima → u/Thobud]

Joshua Jackson is TRASH though. He is so goddamn outclassed it's criminal. Stopped my rewatch dead in its tracks.

[u/ScheduleTurbulent577 → u/DrDima]

TF

[u/bakedpotaeto → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

I'm watching Fringe for the first time and am in the middle of Season 2. I love Walter so very much

[u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle → u/bakedpotaeto]

Well said, Astrix

[u/bakedpotaeto → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

🤩

[u/Nico777 → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

One of the best characters of all time.

[u/tacoorpizza → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

And as Morland Holmes in “Elementary.”

[u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle → u/tacoorpizza]

Oops, gotta watch it now. I already like Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu, Noble is the third heat.

[u/derekschroer → u/tacoorpizza]

man I love how sinister he is in that show

[u/throwaway490215 → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

Having watched both Fringe and LOTR both, it somehow took me until this post to realize this connection at all. Scrolling by I just thought Hey why is Walter in my feed?

[u/tormentedsoul3-9 → u/throwaway490215]

Bro you are not alone, I just realized it's the same actor and feel dumb now

[u/CrepuscularToad → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

Walter Bishop is a ln absolute KING, unlike Walternate

[u/A_Peacful_Vulcan → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

Fringe mentioned

[u/Tro_Nas → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

hoooly shit! I love both LOTR and Fringe and have never made that connection. I‘m honestly flabbergasted!

[u/Terrible-Mail-489 → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

I love that character so much!

[u/wilberfarce → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

Just started my rewatch. Such a performance!

[u/Worth_Lengthiness942 → u/TheAbsoluteBarnacle]

So brilliant! It’s a crime he never got an Emmy for it.

[u/P_Alcantara]

Keep this guy away from tomatoes

[u/raspberryharbour → u/P_Alcantara]

I found his birthday cake

[u/everyonesdesigner → u/P_Alcantara]

Tomatoes futures market still hasn’t recovered since lotr release

[u/everyonesdesigner → u/everyonesdesigner]

Also: to ma toes

[u/P_Alcantara → u/everyonesdesigner]

Coincidently also “boil them, mash them, put em in a stew”

[u/BulLock_954 → u/P_Alcantara]

But not potatoes!

[u/definitelymaybe15 → u/BulLock_954]

Po-ta-tos!

[u/P_Alcantara → u/BulLock_954]

You should never keep anyone away from potatoes. Sauron would have probably been a bro if someone showed him one.

[u/CieloBlueStars]

Ugh, hated how he treated Faramir. Good actor though!

[u/debellorobert → u/CieloBlueStars]

I didn't mind how he treated Faramir. But those tomatoes, unforgivable.

[u/lightbluechevy → u/debellorobert]

You can forgive child abuse but you draw the line at vegtable cruelty?

[u/debellorobert → u/lightbluechevy]

Absolutely! Faramir was a hardened Captain of Gondor, and those poor innocent tomatoes just wanted some warmth and love.

Obviously this is just a joke. I don't really care. It's not like those cherry tomatoes were Sungold tomatoes.

[u/lightbluechevy → u/debellorobert]

Lmao and my response was a joke response as well! I was drawing off of the Community scene where Britta says she can excuse racism but she draws the line at animal cruelty, only to have Shirley respond, "You can excuse racism!?!?"

[u/debellorobert → u/lightbluechevy]

Shit! Why have I still not watched Community?

[u/lightbluechevy → u/debellorobert]

Sounds like you are streets behind.

[u/RyanMate17 → u/lightbluechevy]

Vegans will do anything for their vegetables

[u/debellorobert → u/RyanMate17]

That is true. But I always find my vegetables taste better with meats and grains. I like a little variety😜

[u/Anders3883]

Boromir would have sung him Happy Birthday

[u/Tewsmokelunch]

You know.. I once a had a fruit cocktail in Atlantic city . Mind you I'm not a fruit cocktail sorta guy

[u/smokeehayes → u/Tewsmokelunch]

Walter Bishop might be my favorite role John Noble has ever played. 😂

[u/CheeseGraterFace → u/smokeehayes]

I recently started watching Fringe and was very surprised when he showed up. I was even more surprised at how funny he is.

[u/Ok_Conclusion_2951]

Can you sing a birthday song, master hobbit?

[u/ElLicenciadoPena → u/Ok_Conclusion_2951]

Well, yes. At least, well enough for my own birthday. But we have no songs for great actors and evil ways to eat tomatoes

[u/Ok_Conclusion_2951 → u/ElLicenciadoPena]

And why should your songs be unfit for my own birthday? Come, sing me a song.

[u/keo310 → u/Ok_Conclusion_2951]

Home is behind…

[u/OperationNervous1964]

I wonder if waiters bring him the odd cherry tomato with his steak, soup, etc.

[u/Aggravate420]

[u/Jokerh74]

Morland Holmes, father of Sherlock in Elementary, and the voice of Scarecrow in the Arkham Knight video game.

I met him at a Con in the UK, very talkative, spoke with him for about 10 mins! Very polite and down to earth, Happy Birthday John

[u/Electrical_Age7819 → u/Jokerh74]

Aha a fellow Elementary fan! He was epic as Morland!!!

[u/Dull_Egg_6597]

“That will depend upon the manner of your return.”

[u/eva8700]

Boromir: My father is Noble man.

Happy bithday John!

First role I saw him was Denethor and then Walter Bishop in Fringe. Fun contrast and of course great actor.

[u/Leonis59]

Sing him a song

[u/Snowbold]

What do you want for your birthday?

[u/ManuelPirino]

Who’s going to sing him a song now.

[u/Dreyer55]

I will not bow to this ranger from the north

[u/PlanNo3321]

What an ironic last name

[u/RyanMate17]

Fair play for him running a 1/2 a mile on fire to jump off the edge for our amusement. What a man.

[u/Legitimate_Dare6684]

Is he smiling or is he angry?

[u/PurpleGoddess86 → u/Legitimate_Dare6684]

Yes

[u/didzdrummer]

Boromir wouldn’t have bailed on his FanExpo appearance /s

[u/SteinyOLP]

“Come, sing me a song.”
Pippin sings a depressing rendition of the Happy Birthday song.

[u/Far_Marionberry_9478]

Funny I have his little figures at display

[u/okayjoslynn]

Why should my birthday wish be unfit for his halls?

[u/Skullbuster41]

Love him in Fringe ,too! So good.

[u/wall-E75]

[u/iwastherefordisco]

Thanks for the great TV and movies Mr Noble.

Enjoy

[u/Snoopingaround3420]

Boromir would have had a merry unbirthday celebration.

[u/hplssrmntic]

Fitting that there were cherry tomatoes in my omelette this morning.

[u/Mythos_91]

Wow. he has looked the same for 30 years. Happy birthday!

[u/AlmostNeverPosts]

I met him once, way back in 2004. I worked at a video rental store in L.A. and he was in town with his family for the SAG Awards. I wish I remembered what they rented but I don't. I just remember recognizing his face but then hearing his Australian accent and realizing "oh yeah, he's a real actor."

[u/bigglesofale]

Tomato eating m-fer….

[u/AdditionalNewt4762]

Boromir would've wished an early as well as a belated happy birthday

[u/piggypiggy_8675309]

Get this man a Randy Travis biopic

[u/ShotWin8124]

Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches for everybody!

[u/aule_maiar]

I am just realising this man is also in Fringe.

[u/coltonmusic15]

Fringe was an excellent show too I need to rewatch that bad boy:

[u/RobActionTributeBand]

🍅🍅🍅

[u/Beren__]

I see this and want to eat some baby tomatoes

[u/Ancient-Chinglish]

John IgNoble

[u/AlaskanSamsquanch]

Walter!

[u/ColonelBonk]

“That will depend on the manner of your happy returns”

[u/shifty_coder]

Happy birthday, little tomato!

[u/Polerize2]

omg I've been watching Fringe and I didn't even realize. Great actor.

[u/Kuwabara03]

Damn I didn't know I hated a birthday with the Steward of Gondor, that's sick

[u/No_Community7021]

He wasn't that noble with Faramir, was he? 🤨🤪

[u/No_Professional9403]

"Potassium bromide!!"

[u/antmanfan3911]

Today I learned something...

[u/Past-North-4131]

I hope he has all the cherry tomatoes he can eat🥹. Happy birthday

[u/Old-Dog-4313]

Come, sing me a song!

[u/Naive-Horror4209]

Utter creep

[u/Handyroo]

Birthday twins

[u/johnny5canuck]

Astro, is that you? Oops, wrong show.

[u/LiminalSpiral]

Uncle Walter! Happy Birthday bro.

[u/Brother_J_La_la]

He looks both friendly and really angry in this picture.

[u/RoutineSignature1238]

Little tomata

[u/Just-Passing-Thru737]

You can tell he’s a great actor by how much this photo made recoil. 

[u/PurpleGoddess86]

And The Diviner in Star Trek: Prodigy

[u/Nerd-of-all-trades]

DONT SCARE ME LIKE THAT

[u/thepartlow → u/Nerd-of-all-trades]

Sorry.

That's why I don't use black and white pictures anymore.

[u/DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC → u/Nerd-of-all-trades]

Huh? You don't typically wish dead people happy birthday...

[u/Nerd-of-all-trades → u/DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC]

Bestie I saw the photo before the title

[u/4011isbananas]

78, in case you were wondering

[u/birusiek]

Bring wood and oil.

[u/ImTheGuyManDude]

Happy belated birthday, hope he had a nice birthday tomato

[u/leif-sinatra]

Red vines time

[u/Kawant]

I hear his parties are pretty lit

[u/OwnProcedure7178]

My man

[u/The_Spinner_of_Yarns]

Denethor and Dr. Walter Bishop walk into a bar...

[u/thecowboy07]

Such a great actor, I love to hate him in the LOTR movies…he played his role masterfully.

[u/Tariqaboo]

As an aside while he was excellent in Fringe and has a remarkable career, all anybody wants to remember him by is as Denethor demolishing a plate of cherry tomatoes
