Noah Strausser Speer Wyle (born June 4, 1971) is a five time Emmy Award nominated American TV and Film Actor best known for his role as Dr. John Carter on the television drama ER. His last name (Wyle) is pronounced "Why-Lee".
Wyle was the only major cast member of ER to have been with the show since its inception when he left after its eleventh season. His performances on the show earned him Emmy Award nominations in each of its first five seasons, and (as part of an ensemble) several Screen Actors Guild Awards and nominations. Wyle left the series at the end of the 2004-2005 season, although he returned in guest appearances for four episodes in each of the next two seasons. He stated that he left because he wanted to spend more time with his family.
Wyle was born in Hollywood, California to parents Stephen Wyle and Marjorie Speer, and was one of six children in a Reform Jewish home. He attended The Thacher School and graduated with the class of 1989. He married make-up artist Tracy Warbin on May 6, 2000. Together they have son Owen Strausser Wyle, born November 9, 2002 and daughter Auden Wyle, born October 15, 2005. He and his family are vegetarians.
In 1999, Wyle made an appearance during the beginning of Steve Jobs' Macworld Expo Keynote presentation, initially pretending to be Jobs. When the audience caught on, Jobs himself appeared and began to banter with Wyle MacWorld Expo: A View from Afar . It was a practical joke by Jobs and Wyle in light of the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley.
In his off time, Wyle serves as the voluntary artistic producer of the Blank Theatre Company in Hollywood, whose alumni include Ed Asner, Sarah Michelle Gellar, D.B. Sweeney, James Kerwin, Amber Benson, Megan Henning, Travis Schuldt, Warren Davis, Grant Show, and Nicholas Brendon.
