  • Social Media Star Noah Beck Takes Aim at His Next Challenge

    [ad_1]

    [This story contains spoilers for Tubi‘s Sidelined 2: Intercepted.]

    Noah Beck has conquered social media, so he’s ready for a new challenge.

    The 24-year-old collegiate athlete-turned-content creator-turned-actor has already amassed a massive fanbase, with more than 40 million followers across TikTok and Instagram. After dropping out of college to pursue a social media career in 2020, Beck went on to capture the hearts of millions with his viral lip-syncing and shirtless dancing videos, in addition to his collabs with other members of the Sway House, the former L.A.-based content frat that once dominated TikTok.

    While Beck has expanded his presence beyond those viral videos, going on to dabble in the fashion world, he now has his full attention turned to acting. He made his film debut in Tubi’s Sidelined: The QB and Me last year and just reprised his role as Drayton in the newly released sequel, Sidelined 2: Intercepted, opposite Siena Agudong. But he knows there’s so much more to learn and is ready for anything thrown his way.

    “At this point in my career where, unlike with social media, I’ve truly loved how humbling this industry is. And if this industry will continue to have me, I will happily be there,” he tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I want to try different things and I want to do just about every genre. I’ll never rule something out before doing it. That’s just shooting yourself in the foot.”

    Below, Beck opens up about Sidelined 2, what it was like working with James Van Der Beek again and teases the possibility of more movies in the franchise. He also shares how his view of social media has changed and the biggest challenge he’s been able to overcome.

    With fans loving the first Sidelined movie, how excited were you to be able to return to the role of Drayton for the sequel?

    This movie is my baby. I’ve been attached to it since the very beginning. I’ve kind of been a part of the adaptation process of taking it from Tam Marley’s book to what it is now. And so people resonated with it and people responded, and that’s all you can ask from going away for several months and creating something and just crossing your fingers, being like, we had the best time and we hope that we were able to at least capture a little bit of that on camera because the movie doing well or not, honestly, it’s at a point where it doesn’t even matter. I had so much fun filming these movies and it’s just a little bonus if they do well. And the first one did better than any of us thought it was going to do, so that’s obviously a blessing.

    Sports were also such a large part of your life growing up, so what was it like to mix your love of sports and acting for these films?

    Let’s just say Drayton and this story were not too far from my experience, so it was very easy to pull from things that I needed to pull from in some scenes. And those days filming the football shot, it was just play. And it was purely that camaraderie of being with a team and the extras of the football team coming in. It was hard to rally us. We were just on the field throwing the ball around, we were just having fun, and they were like, “Yo, we got to come film this.” And I was like, “One more throw.” And so it was really fun and it was truly my two worlds colliding, where you take sports and my newfound love, which is acting in movies and film and all the good things and just creating, to be honest.

    Noah Beck and Siena Agudong in ‘Sidelined 2: Intercepted.’

    Tubi

    Since you all were already comfortable as scene partners, having done Sidelined: The QB and Me, were you looking forward to reuniting with Siena for the sequel?

    She’s truly one of my best friends. I have so much love for that girl, and more than anything, I was just excited to spend some more time with her. It’s funny because when we film these movies, like promoting it, we were just in Rome together and it doesn’t feel like work at all. Anytime I’m around her, even when we’re away filming a movie, it’s just one long hangout and one long sleepover, and it’s summer camp with your best friends. That alone is a selling point for me to continue acting in this franchise that it now is. And I think when you enjoy the work so much, I hope it shows through the screen because she’s just so easy to have chemistry with, and I am very lucky.

    You also worked with the iconic James Van Der Beek again on the sequel, and I know he’s been battling cancer, so how special was it to reunite with him? 

    I could sit and talk about how amazing James was to me for an hour if you have it. With James, he has such a presence to him, and you can’t not be present in a scene with him. I learned so much, and I’ve just felt like I had this front row seat to such an acting masterclass. In our scenes, he’s Drayton’s father, so when he’s yelling or when he’s being stern with me, I’m just sitting there and I caught myself a few times just really being in awe of him, and I was like, oh shit, I forgot it’s a wide [shot] so I have to be in this. So there were times when I fell out of it and just wanted to enjoy what I’m seeing, what people literally pay to come see and I’m getting paid to do this with him. It’s pretty surreal. And off camera, he was such a gentleman and just such an amazing guy to have on set. He’s such a mentor to me.

    Tubi

    Thinking about the ending to Sidelined 2: Intercepted, it concluded in quite an ambiguous way. So have there been talks about a third film in the franchise, and if so, would you be open to returning as Drayton?

    We were kind of going for that bittersweet ending, and when we shot the thing, we shot three or four different endings and were like, “I guess we’ll see in the edit which one works the best and which one we decide.” It came together so quickly, and there’s no second book, so we were like, this can go wherever we want it. And they have so much love for each other, and it’s kind of that saying of if you love something, let it go and if it comes back to you, [it’s really yours]. But I’m stoked to see where it goes, and let’s just say I would love to continue these movies and there definitely are some unanswered questions. So if we decide to continue this story, I would happily come back as Drayton.

    Looking ahead, do you have any dream genres or roles you would love to take on in the future? 

    At this point in my career where, unlike with social media, I’ve truly loved how humbling this industry is. And if this industry will continue to have me, I will happily be there. I’m not too picky right now, and just like how I started with TikTok, I want to try different things, and I want to do just about every genre. I’ll never rule something out before doing it. That’s just shooting yourself in the foot.

    Having got your start on TikTok five years ago, so much has changed during this time with social media. How has your view of social media changed from then to now? 

    My view of it has never been too serious. And I think maybe that’s the only way that it’s really changed. But at the same time, as much as I feel like I’ve used social media to be this catapult for other things in my life that I’ve had an interest in … I guess I’ve treated my brand as my résumé. But then the seriousness quickly gets flooded out by the unseriousness of the silly videos or whatnot. I treat each platform fairly different. I think each one serves its purpose but ultimately not taking life that serious.

    Social media has definitely changed in a way where it really was this series of boredom activities that I’m just going to put on camera to just past the time. And to an extent, it still is that with the occasional brand deal. I think social media now is — whereas it was super entertainment-based when I was first starting out — a search engine. You can be educated on it, you can be entertained, it can be escapism or it can be informational. It is truly whatever you please and whatever your algorithm is feeding you. So, for me, I still view it as if you want to do anything, if you want to promote anything, if you want to break into a space and you don’t have social media, I think you’re really doing yourself a disservice if you’re not capitalizing on it.

    Do you see yourself continuing to do social media in the future as you focus more on acting? 

    A hundred percent. To each their own, and it’s not one size fits all, so I wouldn’t say it’s pretentious of me to just all of a sudden drop it and be like, “I don’t need this.” It’s never that. In the past year, I have pumped the brakes on certain platforms, but then I’ll also hit these spurts where I’ll go on vacation or I’ll travel for work and get some amazing content, and I’m pumping out an Instagram Reel or an Instagram dump a day, and then I’m also throwing up two to three TikToks, because I’m just so inspired. So I like to not put any pressure on any of it. If there’s a day where I’m like, I’m not inspired by anything, I don’t have any drafts, I am not forcing myself to do it. And that might allow me to have the bandwidth to do something else creatively. But yeah, I think I will continue; it wouldn’t be fair to the people who have been following me through this whole journey.

    Noah Beck

    What’s one of the biggest challenges you’ve been able to overcome to get you where you are today? 

    I think acting’s really helped me with not caring too much about what people think. And in a world with social media, it’s quite literally all it is in a sense. You’re putting stuff out there, it’s very vulnerable. And especially if you’re not playing a character online and you’re not playing a different persona and you’re truly being yourself, you’re like, “Hey, this is me in a video. This is the potential to hit millions of people. Am I okay with how this might be perceived?” So I think just being authentically yourself and just being like, “This is me, take it or leave it,” has really helped with the acting and kind of getting out of my own skin a little and just being like, “No one cares that much.”

    If you had to describe what makes Noah Beck Noah Beck, what would you say? 

    Ultimately, I am just curious, and the day that I’m not curious is the day that I need someone to slap me upside the head and be like, stay curious. Because life’s more fun that way, and you start to romanticize things. You start to just constantly be a student and ask questions. I don’t think I’ll ever get to a point where I think I know everything. I hope I don’t. I don’t want to be that cursed with knowledge. But yeah, I think curiosity. Without that, I wouldn’t be myself.

  • FBI releases image of ‘person of interest’ in Charlie Kirk shooting

    [ad_1]

    The manhunt for the person who shot and killed influential US conservative activist Charlie Kirk continued on Thursday, as the FBI released pictures of the suspect.

    “We are asking for the public’s help identifying this person of interest in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University,” the bureau said in a post on X featuring pictures of an unidentified man.

    “The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the individual(s) responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk,” it added.

    The agency said that a high-powered weapon was found in a wooded area and released a video and photos showing a person climbing down from a roof, jumping to the ground and quickly walking away.

    Kirk, a prominent supporter of US President Donald Trump, was shot in the neck while speaking at an outdoor event at the university on Wednesday and later died of his injuries.

    More than 7,000 leads in hunt for suspect

    Authorities said the shooter may have fired from a rooftop. More than 7,000 tips have been received so far, Utah’s Republican Governor Spencer Cox told reporters, with nearly 200 interviews conducted.

    Kirk’s casket was flown from Utah to Arizona, where he had lived, accompanied by Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha. Television footage showed Kirk’s wife being helped off the plane by Usha Vance. Trump said in Washington that he expects to attend the funeral.

    Trump ordered flags at the White House and embassies worldwide to be flown at half-mast.

    During an event at the Pentagon on Thursday marking the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Trump said that he is posthumously awarding Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, broadcaster NBC reported.

    “Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty, and an inspiration to millions and millions of people,” Trump said.

    Utah governor mentions death penalty

    Authorities believe it was a targeted attack. Cox has classified the shooting as a “political assassination” and told a press conference: “I just want to remind people that we still have the death penalty here in the state of Utah.”

    Two people were taken into custody following the shooting on Wednesday but were later released, Utah officials said.

    Kirk, 31, did not hold elected office but was a powerful force in grassroots conservative politics, leading youth organization Turning Point USA, hosting a popular podcast and attracting millions of followers on social media.

    He spoke at Trump campaign rallies in last year’s election and addressed the Republican National Convention.

    Political violence is a growing concern in the deeply polarized country, affecting both Republicans and Democrats at all levels of government.

    Gun violence is a persistent issue, including on school and university campuses.

    Handguns and larger firearms are widely available, and mass shootings frequently spark debate over stricter gun laws. Efforts at reform have repeatedly stalled due to opposition from Republicans and the influential gun lobby.

  • Evansville Police: Susan Haynie’s death being investigated as a homicide

    [ad_1]

    EVANSVILLE — After initially stating the Aug. 27 death of a prominent Evansville woman in her East Side home was “suspicious,” Evansville police officials said Tuesday morning it was being investigated as a homicide and that a “person of interest” was in custody.

    The Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office identified the woman as 74-year-old Susan Haynie, a longtime real estate agent and close friend of well-known realtor Carol McLintock and her husband, former Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke.

    The one-paragraph release states that Haynie was found dead inside her home in the 3300 block of East Gum Street Aug. 27 and that the results of an autopsy were pending.

    Shortly after the coroner’s office published its release, the Evansville Police Department issued its own public statement classifying Haynie’s death as a “homicide.”

    “A person of interest has been identified and arrested on unrelated charges,” EPD spokesman Sgt. Anthony Aussieker wrote. “This investigation is ongoing at this time.”

    Aussieker did not name the person of interest.

    In the wake of Haynie’s death, the EPD placed notices on the front doors of neighbors’ homes stating investigators were seeking “information” about a “suspicious death” that had occurred around 5 p.m. Aug. 27 in the 3300 block of East Gum Street.

    “We are looking for information about the crime including any suspicious activity or people in that area around that date and time,” the notice stated, according to a copy reviewed by the Courier & Press. “We want to solve this crime as soon as possible to prevent further crimes in your neighborhood.”

    Aussieker confirmed the notices were part of the investigation into Haynie’s death.

    “Anyone who may have information related to this case is encouraged to contact the EPD Adult Investigations Unit at 812-436-7979,” Aussieker said.

    Haynie’s funeral is scheduled to be held at Holy Rosary Catholic Church on Thursday morning, according to her obituary.

    “Susan will be remembered not only as a dedicated real estate professional but also as a cherished friend whose generosity and spirit touched everyone who knew her,” her obituary states. “Susan had a special gift and commitment to turn every opportunity to entertain into an unforgettable experience. Time and again, she stepped in to make her friends’ lives much more joyful.”

    Axel Abel Trevino, 32, was wanted for questioning in the triple homicide near 215th Street and East Avenue Q, in an unincorporated portion of Los Angeles County between Lake Los Angeles and El Mirage, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

    The incident was first reported shortly before 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 17.

    He was believed to be driving a silver 2021 Nissan Altima, officials said. He’s 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs about 180 pounds.

    “Please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Homicide Bureau with any information,” Investigators urged in a written statement.

    Axel Abel Trevino, 32, was being sought as a person of interest in connection with a shooting that left two men and a woman dead near Lake Los Angeles on Sunday, Aug. 17, 2025.

    The shooting

    The three victims were found in two vehicles along 215th Street, sheriff’s officials said at the time.

    Officials said the incident was first reported as gunfire, before responding deputies were informed, while on their way to the scene, that multiple people had been shot, the agency said in a written statement.

    Deputies found all three victims suffering from gunshot wounds, officials said. All three died from their injuries at the scene.

    The two men were riding in an SUV, reportedly towing a trailer. The woman had been following behind them in a sedan.

  • Man charged with concealing corpse after woman’s remains found in sleeping bag

    Man charged with concealing corpse after woman’s remains found in sleeping bag

    [ad_1]

    KIPS BAY, Manhattan (WABC) — A 55-year-old man is in police custody after the body of 31-year-old Yazmeen Williams was found inside a sleeping bag in Kips Bay last week.

    The medical examiner’s office determined Williams had been shot in the head and her death was ruled a homicide.

    Chad Irish faces a slew of charges, including concealment of a corpse, criminal possession of a weapon and menacing.

    Police say Irish threatened a 47-year-old man who identified him at the Strauss Houses on East 28th Street, where Williams’ body was found.

    He has not been charged with the death of Williams, but the investigation continues.

    Irish has 21 prior arrests in a record that goes back to the early ’90s and has been in and out of state prison.

    He was most recently released on parole for a July 2022 robbery in the Bronx.

    The community where the woman was found is outraged. On Monday evening, a crowd mobbed Irish as he was taken out of his home on a stretcher and taken into custody. They yelled murderer, cursed him out and threw punches and asked why he would kill a woman who grew up in the neighborhood and who by all accounts never had a problem with anyone.

    Detectives believe Irish was the man in the motorized wheelchair seen on video dragging and leaving the body on East 27th street Friday, using a dolly to wheel it.

    Meanwhile family and friends continue to mourn the death of their loved one as a makeshift memorial has been created.

    Williams’ family described her as someone who wanted to be an advocate for women and part of the justice system to fight for victims.

    “She was beautiful, she was sweet, she was college-educated, she was just a good person,” said the victim’s aunt Nisha Ramirez.

    Senator Kristen Gonzalez, Assemblymember Harvey Epstein and Councilmember Carlina Rivera released a joint statement on Williams’ death and said they also are grieving and outraged:

    “Our hearts go out to Yazmeen’s family, particularly her mother, Nicole Williams, who has shown immense strength during this unimaginably difficult time. Yazmeen was a bright and accomplished individual, a graduate of Buffalo State University with a degree in criminal justice, and she had just begun a promising career with the New York City Housing Authority. The loss of someone so deeply committed to the wellbeing of her neighbors is immeasurable. This tragedy has left a void in the hearts of all those who knew and loved her.”

    The statement went on to say that members of the Straus Houses community have requested more security cameras to enhance safety and the lawmakers will do everything in their power to improve safety and security.

    Fallout’s TV Show is Made By Fans, but Not for Only Fans

    Adapting any well-known property is always going to be a big feat, especially when it comes to video games. It’s one thing to adapt a comic or TV show, it’s another thing to adapt a series of games, which come with a greater degree of self-expression. You can please some fans, but you can’t please all of the fans, as we’ve seen with basically every game-to-TV/film adaptation within the last five years.

    Talking to T3, Westworld co-creator Jonathan Nolan said as such about the upcoming Fallout show. Like many, he came into the series with Fallout 3 all the way back in 2008, which he said consumed roughly a year of his life back in the day. At the time, he would’ve been working on quite a few projects, and he was frank in saying the RPG “almost derailed my entire career.” Fallout fans have been divided on the series for some time (see early reactions to Fallout 76), and Nolan similarly it was impossible for the show to please the whole community. 

    “It’s a fool’s errand,” he said. “You’ve got to make yourself happy.” with Fallout, he continued, was for everyone to “come into this trying to make the show that you want to make.” Considering previous interviews, it doesn’t sound like this show is going to wildly diverge from those games, but they are going to have their own spin on series staples that’ll likely rankle longtime lovers. Between this and his Batman work, he called it a “rare and unbelievable thing…to take something that you love and get a chance to play in that universe, to create your own version.”

    No doubt he’d like for it to be a big multi-season hit like Westworld and Person of Interest, but he sounded honest in saying he was “very happy” with how this series has turned out. We’ll find out whether he should be happy when all eight episodes of Fallout will hit Prime Video on April 11.
