More recently, Beck resurged in pop culture with the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@tubi\/video\/7446527897554160938\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">not my name, quarterback<\/a>\u201d scene from his first \u201cSidelined\u201d movie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Beck\u2019s TikTok fame, combined with the buzz surrounding the iconic scene from his first movie, had fans excited to see him on the sidelines and grab photos with him. Caylin Mobley, a junior studying environmental studies, saw Beck as a good omen and is looking forward to watching his upcoming film. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m so happy that we won the game, but my highlight of the week was Noah Beck,\u201d Mobley said. \u201cI really couldn\u2019t take my eyes off of him. I love Noah, and I\u2019ve followed him on TikTok since 2020 and never stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Noah holds up a phone while taking a selfie with the marching band.\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/NARZRUI6K5GN5JIIB7RJXIMGMA.jpg\"  width=\"800\" height=\"533\"\/>A portion of the Trojan Marching Band performed for the after-party of the film&#8217;s premiere on Nov. 13. (Photo Courtesy of Aaron Ogawa\/USC El Rodeo) <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">For other fans, Beck\u2019s appearance was a unique surprise. Business administration sophomores Isabella Jacobs and Nina Paguio attended the game together and left with a new movie on their watchlists. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI was very confused why he was there until I remembered his movie,\u201d Paguio said. \u201cI didn\u2019t realize he was a serious actor, and I wasn\u2019t going to watch his movie, but I keep seeing a lot of people excited for it, so I probably will now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cSidelined 2: Intercepted\u201d follows fictional USC star quarterback Drayton (Beck) and a CalArts dance major named Dallas (Siena Agudong). As both characters enter their first year of college, they try to grapple with a 32.4-mile long-distance relationship while pursuing their own paths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Both Beck and Agudong stayed for the rivalry game, where they showed the movie trailer, shot merchandise out of t-shirt cannons and took part in the field goal kicking competition to give away \u201cSidelined\u201d merch to fans. These interactive moments alerted even non-fans to the guest appearance<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI didn\u2019t really recognize who he was, and then people started saying the \u2018not my name, quarterback\u2019 guy, and that\u2019s the only way I recognized him,\u201d biochemistry freshman Michael Kawan said. \u201cThis was the first celebrity I saw on campus, and I think that\u2019s cool because you don\u2019t really get that at other places.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cSidelined 2: Intercepted\u201d was released on Thanksgiving and is available for streaming on Tubi for free with ads. A portion of the Trojan Marching Band <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nathalia.motta\/video\/7572468021898317087\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">performed<\/a> for the film premiere on Nov. 13 as escorts to the after-party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI was really happy when the drum major got a picture with him because he was in one of my classes last semester, so that means I\u2019m one person away from Noah Beck now,\u201d Mobley said. \u201cNoah is basically my close personal friend now, and I\u2019m ecstatic. He really was a sign that I\u2019m going to get through finals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Noah holds up a fight on sign while posing seriously with the drum major.\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/R7OQZ6F2NVELHMPCDXCL6M5HIE.jpg\"  width=\"800\" height=\"533\"\/>Noah Beck posed with drum major of the Trojan Marching Band during the USC-UCLA game (Photo Courtesy of Aaron Ogawa\/USC El Rodeo) <script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the guest appearance of internet personality and actor Noah Beck at Saturday\u2019s USC versus UCLA rivalry game,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77296,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[44526,44525,44522,48,52,51,47,50,49,44515,44517,44519,44520,44521,44529,3808,44527,44516,44528,44524,44523,44518],"class_list":["post-77295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-charli-damelio","tag-dixie-damelio","tag-intercepted","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-noah-beck","tag-qb-and-me","tag-sidelined","tag-sidelined-2","tag-sidelined-2-intercepted","tag-siena-agudong","tag-tiktok","tag-tiktok-actors","tag-tubi","tag-usc-sidelined","tag-usc-ucla-rivalry","tag-usc-ucla-rivalry-game","tag-wattpad-movie"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77295\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
