NOAH WYLE

For his role as Dr. John Carter on "ER," Noah Wyle (pronounced "why-lee") has received four Emmy Award nominations, as well as three Golden Globe nominations for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series.
Born in Hollywood, California, Wyle was raised there along with his six brothers and sisters. He developed a genuine interest in acting after his junior year in high school, when he participated in a theatre-arts program at Northwestern University. After graduation from high school, he found a seedy 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 that with his first feature film, "Crooked Hearts," in which he played a son in a dysfunctional family. In 1990, he worked in another feature, "There Goes My Baby."

After appearing in several local plays in Los Angeles, he was cast in the box office hit "A Few Good Men," in which he played a Marine jeep driver who testified in court. He also appeared in the feature "Swing Kids" as a leader in the Hitler Youth and in "The Myth of Fingerprints" with Roy Scheider and Blythe Danner. Wyle starred as Steve Jobs in the cable movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley."

Wyle is the artistic producer of his own Los Angeles theatre company, the Blank Theatre Company, which stages an annual young playwrights festival and which acquired Second Stage Theater in Hollywood, where the company has mounted numerous successful productions.

In his leisure time, Wyle enjoys basketball, traveling, photography and going to the movies. He lives in Los Angeles and is engaged to make-up artist Tracey Warbin.
