Biography
Noah Hathaway flourished as a child actor, but he turned away from the spotlight after the early '90s. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Hathaway cut his teeth acting in TV commercials before he was cast in the science fiction TV series
Battlestar Galactica (1978) at age seven. Though the show did not last, Hathaway continued to appear on TV as a guest star on many TV series, including
Mork and Mindy and
Eight Is Enough. Adding film to his TV work, Hathaway played
Charles Grodin's son in the romantic comedy
It's My Turn (1980) and had a small part in the
Goldie Hawn/
Burt Reynolds vehicle
Best Friends (1982). While Hathaway played a central role in the fantasy tale
The Neverending Story (1984) as the warrior Atreju and starred in the horror-fantasy
Troll (1986), he did not act in features again until the early '90s. After the poorly received To Die, to Sleep (1992), Hathaway stopped acting and moved into production work. ~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide
