One of #NoahBeck’s (@noah beck) favorite TV shows? ‘New Girl.’ “I think I have some Schmidt tendencies,” he says. It’s an endearing revelation for the 25-year-old internet sensation (one of TikTok’s biggest pandemic-era breakouts) and former collegiate soccer player, who might be expected to credit, say, Rocky Balboa as a source of macho-man inspiration. Beck is now trying his hand at scripted work, set to star in FOX’s ‘Baywatch’ reboot (with fellow Listee Thaddeus LaGrone), coming at the end of the year, and the soccer drama ‘Baton,’ with Lewis Pullman, Camila Mendes, and Becky G. When it comes to his bona fides as a rising household name, it doesn’t hurt that Beck has also partnered with fashion houses Tommy Hilfiger, Gucci, Dior, and Thom Browne. #BreakthroughList2026
