A Hollywood native, Noah Wyle became interested in acting as a young high school student; he acted in, and directed, a production of Jean-Paul Sartre's "No Exit". Deciding not to attend college, Wyle studied acting with Larry Moss and worked at small jobs to support himself. Noah Wyle scored his first professional role with a two line role in the 1990 NBC miniseries "Blind Faith". The following year, he made his feature debut as the condemned son in a dysfunctional family in "Crooked Hearts", alongside Jennifer Jason Leigh and Peter Berg.
In Rob Reiner's "A Few Good Men" (1992), Noah Wyle recreated his L.A. theatre role as a marine driver who testifies at a court martial - acting besides a heavy hitting celebrity ensemble including Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon and Kiefer Sutherland. Next for Wyle was Thomas Carter's "Swing Kids" with Christian Bale (1993), where he was the leader of the Hitler Youth organization. Wyle was also part of the group casting including Rick Schroeder, Dermot Mulroney and Lucy Deakins in the 1960's high school drama "There Goes My Baby" (filmed in 1992; released in 1994). Before landing his star making role on "ER", Wyle was cast as Sir Lancelot opposite Sheryl Lee's "Guinevere" (Lifetime, 1994), a feminist story of the famed King Arthur legend. While fellow "ER" cast members Anthony Edwards, George Clooney and Eriq La Salle have pursued high profile television and movie projects, Noah Wyle has chosen to return to the theater and stage (in the L.A. production of the AIDS based "The 24th Day" with Peter Berg) or to play supporting roles in independent features, like "The Myth of Fingerprints" (1997), next to Roy Scheider and Blythe Danner, in an ambitious debut for writer/director Bart Freundlich charting the unrest with a family who gather together for Thanksgiving dinner. After appearing in a few notable television movie projects, including a George Clooney produced adaptation of "Fail Safe" and playing Apple computer genius Steve Jobs in the cable movie "The Pirates of Silicon Valley," Wyle expanded his roles beyond his familiar role as a television Doctor, as one of the few remaining original "ER" cast members, his rookie Dr. Carter eventually became a hardened veteran and the perceived star of the show until his departure at the end of the 2004-2005 season, and appeared in small but noticeable parts in a variety of films and movies, including "Donnie Darko" working with Jake Gyllenhaal and Ashley Tisdale (2001), "Enough" with Jennifer Lopez (2002) and "White Oleander" with top celebrities Michelle Pfeiffer and Renée Zellweger, (2002).
Wyle started of the following year with "Fall of Knipple" (2003) about what happens when a manic delivery man is followed around by a documentary crew - everywhere. After taking a year away from film and television projects, Noah Wyle surfaced to appear in the dramatic "The Californians" (2005), then retreating for another few years. Noah was back on the scene again in 2008 with the dramatic "Boy Of Pigs" (2008) with Gretchen Mol and set in 1963, about the swirl of glamour and intrigue that turned President John F. Kennedy's Washington into Camelot, the movie traces the coming of age of a lonely 13-year-old young Catholic school boy.
