Noah Wyle (pronounced "why-lee") remembers the first and last time he donated blood, right up to the moment he blacked out. "I decided to give some blood in high school," he says, "and I recall a woman bending over me who said, 'This is my first time doing this,' and that was all I needed to hear before I passed out. I remember waking up in the back of the bloodmobile."
As a result, Wyle can identify with a patient's fear of needles, especially now that he's playing a first-time doctor who still has much to learn about medicine. "I wouldn't want to be Dr. Carter's patient," says Wyle. "He's extremely well-meaning and eager to do a good job and be noticed for doing a good job, but he's a klutz who is easily overcome by pressure."
Born in Hollywood, Calif., Wyle was raised there along with his six brothers and sisters. His father works as an electrical engineer and his mother is an orthopedic head nurse. He developed a genuine interest in acting after his junior year in high school, when he participated in a theater-arts program at Northwestern University. He soon learned that even high school actors could "kiss pretty girls and smoke cigarettes," which was more than enough for him at the time. After graduation, he discovered nobler reasons for acting, found a seedy apartment on Hollywood Boulevard and began studying with acting teacher Larry Moss.
Wyle scored his first professional role in the NBC 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." Considering the ease with which he secured those roles, he assumed he would be acting full-time. He was mistaken -- he remained unemployed for the next year.
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 upcoming "The Myth of Fingerprints" with Roy Scheier and Blythe Danner. Additionally, he starred as Lancelot opposite Sheryl Lee in the TV movie "Guinevere of Camelot" and he guest-starred as a doctor on NBC's "Friends."
In his leisure time, Wyle enjoys basketball, traveling, photography and going to the movies as well as collecting baseball cards, antiques and any bric-a-brac pertaining to the biblical Noah's Ark. He lives in Los Angeles, and his birthday is June 4.
