Noble has had several uncredited cameos in films starring Cameron as a "kissing double".Kirk Cameron refused to kiss any woman who was not his wife, so for romantic scenes, the actress playing his love interest would be replaced by Noble in an appropriate costume and filmed from a distance or behind.[6]This can be seen in the fire station scene ofFireproof.
