He started working in theatre (appearing in the original Off-Broadway production Sam Shepard's play Buried Child, but in the 1980s he began working in film.

In 1986, Noonan played Francis Dolarhyde, a serial killer who kills entire families, in Manhunter, the first movie to feature Hannibal Lecter. To date, it is his most recognizable role.
In the 1990s he wrote various plays, including two that he made into movies, What Happened Was... (1994) and The Wife (1995).
