Noel Olken is an actor, musician, and clown.

He currently lives in Atlanta and is working on several new projects.

Noel Olken grew up in Chicago, Illinois

Everything about him was influenced by Chicago’s smokey, dirty, bluesy urban life. Its arts, music, humor and work ethic - all etched in him like stone.

“Practicing what you preach is a hard thing to do, when the coffee you drink is stronger than you.”
