Noah Hathaway flourished as a child actor, but he turned away from the spotlight after the early '90s. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Hathaway cut his teeth acting in TV commercials before he was cast in the #92;science fiction TV series Battlestar Galactica (1978) at age seven. Though the show did not last, Hathaway continued to appear on TV as a guest star on many TV series, including Mork and Mindy and Eight Is Enough. Adding film to his TV work, Hathaway played Charles Grodin's son in the #92;romantic comedy It's My Turn (1980) and had a small part in the Goldie Hawn/Burt Reynolds vehicle Best Friends (1982). While Hathaway played a central role in the #92;fantasy tale The Neverending Story (1984) as the warrior Atreju and starred in the #92;horror-fantasy Troll (1986), he did not act in features again until the early '90s. After the poorly received To Die, to Sleep (1992), Hathaway stopped acting and moved into production work. ~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide
