The Duchess of Katonah

A brief tribute to Noah Galvin

I first followed the road to fanfriendom for Noah Galvin when he played teen Kenny O'Neal for two seasons of the ABC sitcom The Real O'Neals. Kenny was an openly Gay character and the producers sought an openly Gay actor to play him. What better choice than Noah Galvin?

One of the fun parts about The Real O'Neals was getting to hobnob with Noah and the other cast members on the shop's Twitter page, especially Noah, Matt Shively and Bebe Wood but one of my favorite features was The Real Reason, where fans got to share their stories about what the show, especially Kenny, mean to them. Noah's young fans continue this still on his own Twitter page!

Until April 9, Noah can be seen as The Duchess and other characters in the new musical Alice By Heart (inspired by Alice in Wonderland) at the MCC Theater.
