Jack Downham has spent more than half his life on Emmerdale - first appearing when he was just seven-years-old.
The young actor, who was born in Leeds in September 2001, first started playing Noah Dingle back in 2009 and has turned from a boy into a man on our screens.
The son of Charity Dingle and Christopher Tate, Noah was originally portrayed by Alfie Mortimer in 2004 and Sam Duffy in 2005.
Before Jack got the full-time role, he actually appeared as an extra before becoming a proper member of the cast and has go on to appear in over 500 episodes of Emmerdale.
"One of my earliest Emmerdale memories is a scene that I did sitting in the footwell of a van, because Noah had been kidnapped," the 19-year-old told Inside Soap in July this year.
"I always remember that scene. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t fit in that footwell now, though!"
It's not been his only acting role, as Jack popped up in Heartbeat as Peter Morley in 2009, and played a young Robin in the 2010 blockbuster movie version of Robin Hood.

Recently, Jack left fans "crying with laughter" looking back at a hilarious throwback to one of his earlier scenes as Noah.
In the clip, Noah starts running round signing 2008 song That's Not My Name by The Ting Tings in the Woolpack - and Cain Dingle doesn't look very impressed by his singing skills.
At that age he looked completely different with long hair and a squeaky voice.
Jack, who was clearly willing to laugh at himself, captioned the post: "That’s not my name"
The actor has spent most of his childhood years in the public eye, but it hasn't put him off acting and he has enjoyed every minute.
"I’ve loved it," he said. "It’s quite strange to be around adults all the time, but I think it’s helped me mature in lots of ways.
"On the other hand, I’ve missed out on my fair share of events and things with friends my own age, but it’s all part and parcel of having such a great opportunity."
Despite being on the show for 12 years, some viewers were left feeling a bit confused in March 2019.
They claimed they couldn't tell the difference between Jack's character Noah and Arthur Thomas, who is played by Alfie Clark.
Bizarrely, viewers admitted they thought they were so alike they often got them mixed up when they were on screen.
Actors Jack and Alfie do look noticeably similar, but some fans were left asking if they were related, which is not the case.
One fan said: “I honestly can't tell the difference between Arthur and Noah.”
Another agreed: “Noah and Arthur actually look alike,” while a third tweeted: “Are Arthur and Noah related in real life?”
Recently, Noah has developed a crush on Arthur's older sister Gabby Thomas, which is inappropriate for a number of reasons.
As well as being older than Noah, Gabby is pregnant with his uncle Jamie Tate's baby, so family gatherings could get a tad awkward if they did get together.
Jack believes Noah has a lot of work to do before he is ready for a girlfriend and claimed Gabby is definitely "too mature" for his character.
"Noah has a kind heart and often has the right intentions – but I think every Dingle has that ruthless side to them," said Jack.
"It would be great fun to see the Dingle come out in Noah, and witness him causing a bit of trouble around the village!"
Noah is involved in a serious storyline in the coming weeks when he faces an allegation of rape.
Liv wakes up after a drunken evening with bruises on her arms and no memory of the night before but begins to have disorientating flashbacks.
Eventually she starts to remember who was with her and is shocked and sickened as she finally figures out it was Noah who she was struggling with last night.
Gabby’s left reeling after Liv’s mention of Noah, uneasy after her own run-ins with him and tells her that they might be dealing with the aftermath of rape.
Furious Aaron walks in on their conversation and storms off to confront Noah before urging his sister to contact the police.
The next day, Charity does some digging, but is there is another side to this story?
*Emmerdale airs tonight on ITV at 8pm
