Noble has had several uncredited cameos in films starring Cameron as a "kissing double". Cameron refused to kiss any woman who was not his wife, so for romantic scenes, the actress playing his love interest was replaced by Noble in an appropriate costume and filmed from a distance or behind.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite web</ref> This can be seen in the fire station scene in the 2008 movie, Fireproof. In 2014, she co-starred with her husband in the independent movie Mercy Rule, playing a married couple with two children. Although not the first movie in which they have played husband and wife (having done so in Growing Pains), this is the first time Noble has been credited as Chelsea Cameron.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
