Darryl Stephens

Darryl Stephens is an openly gay African-American actor best known for playing Noah Nicholson, the romantic lead, in Noah's Arc (Logo TV, 2005–2006) — the first American television series to center on the lives of Black gay men, which developed a passionate cult following and was concluded by a feature film, Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom (2008). Stephens has appeared in various film and television projects and has been a consistent presence in LGBTQ+ media, speaking about the particular importance of Black gay representation in an entertainment landscape where both categories are chronically underrepresented.
