Noah
Wyle
as Dr. John Carter
Noah Wyle recently completed a decade of award-winning work in his role as Dr. John Carter on “ER,” television’s most dominating drama over the past ten seasons. Its only original cast member since the show debuted in 1994; Wyle has been recognized with five Emmy and three Golden Globe nominations as Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television. He also won the 2001 TV Guide Award for Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

One of six brothers and sisters, Wyle was born and raised in Hollywood, California. He developed an interest in acting when he participated in a theater arts program at Northwestern University after his junior year of high school. After graduation, he found an apartment on Hollywood Boulevard and began studying with acting teacher Larry Moss.

Wyle scored his first professional role in the miniseries “Blind Faith” and followed with his first feature film, “Crooked Hearts.” A role in “A Few Good Men” followed. Wyle’s big break came when he was given the pilot script for “ER.”

Wyle recently starred in the original film, “The Librarian: Quest for the Spear.” His other work has included a critically-acclaimed turn as Steve Jobs in the Emmy nominated “Pirates of Silicon Valley.” He has also appeared in several feature films including: “White Oleander” opposite Renee Zellweger, “Enough” opposite Jennifer Lopez, the independent feature “Donnie Darko,” “Swing Kids,” and “A Few Good Men.” He also starred in “The Myth of Fingerprints” with Roy Scheider and Blythe Danner, as the President's interpreter in the 2000 live-television production of “Fail Safe,” and in the independent film, “The Californians.”

In addition, Wyle is the creative producer of his own Los Angeles theater company, the Blank Theater Company, which stages annual young playwrights festival. He also recently acquired Second Stage Theater in Hollywood, where the company has mounted numerous successful productions.

Wyle devotes much of his free time to the international non-profit organization Doctors of the World and to his work as a member of the Human Rights Watch Council. He enjoys basketball, traveling, photography and going to the movies. Wyle lives in Los Angeles with his wife, makeup artist Tracy, and their son. His birthday is June 4.
