He made his debut in Simanaheen (2013) and broke out to gain international recognition in 2018 for acting in and directing the commercially successful romance Bengali Beauty.
Born and raised in Chicago, Noor began his career by acting in commercials for Bengali and Bangladeshi television. His first film role was a supporting character in the independent American social drama Promise Land (2013), and in another early role, he went on to star in the crime drama The Spectacular Jihad of Taz Rahim (2015). Noor has been credited with "putting new-age Bengali cinema on a global map," and has been further recognized by many to be "one of the great new talents of our time."[1][2]
Aside from acting, Noor played Division III college basketball at Lake Forest College. He is also active in social and economic development initiatives, working with BRAC (organization) as well as Muhammad Yunus to promote social business, in addition to supporting schools for underprivileged children in Dhaka and his father's ancestral home in Chandpur, Bangladesh.
