Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Grew Up… in East Great Falls, Mich., where he still resides with his wife and son, Jim. Noah (aka “Jim’s Dad”) was once well known for his antics, especially when he was at Michigan State University, where he belonged to the BETA House fraternity.

Living… a bit more subdued lifestyle now that he’s grown up. Mr. Levenstein has grown into a typical family man: he looks and acts rather conservative, though he’s certainly not shy when it comes to talking about sensitive topics. 

Relationship status…. married. Noah settled down into a happy marriage after his many years of partying. Or, at least, what he likes to claim was a lot of partying.

Challenge… relating to the distant and easily embarrassed Jim (in other words, a “teenager”). Noah wants nothing more than to be a part of his son’s life, though Jim can’t seem to handle his father’s frank way of discussing the cringe-worthy topic of sex. Such as when Noah volunteers: “I have to admit, you know, I did the fair bit of… masturbating when I was a little younger. I used to call it stroking the salami, yeah, you know, pounding the old pud.”

Personality… geeky and desperate to connect with Jim and his friends. The kind-hearted Noah just isn’t quite sure how to relate to his more modern son. Things have changed since the ‘60s.
