Early life and career Noah Lamanna was born on 28 February 1991. They grew up in Newmarket, Ontario, and were interested in acting from an early age, starting to act at the age of 7, attending the Peter Stanton School of Dance and joining the Arts Spotlight Theatre Company and Marquee Theatrical Productions.

From May to June 2023, Lamanna played Eli in the play Let the Right One In for the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, directed by John Tiffany. Lamanna's performance received praise; Judith Saunders, writing in Comparative Drama, lauded Lamanna for bringing "the right kind of sexual indeterminacy" to the role, particularly in their "other-worldly" physique and "expert body movement", and the Bay Area Reporter called their performance "compelling, bone-deep", providing "occasional breakthrough moments of shivery pleasure". In 2024, Lamanna portrayed Dev in the television series Beacon 23, and Suzo Jones in the film Paying for It. Lamanna portrays Kat in the second season of The Last of Us; their casting was announced on 4 March 2025. They were approached to audition for the series and were cast shortly after sending a tape.

They filmed an audition tape for the third season of Ginny & Georgia in a hotel bathroom during production of The Last of Us; they booked the role a few days before filming. Their role as Tris was announced in September 2024. Lamanna enjoyed Tris's "light, chill, down-to-earth" attitude in contrast to the other characters. They are set to return for the fourth season.
