Noah Wyle finally has an Emmy for playing a doctor on television. Wyle won best lead actor in a drama series for his turn as the weary Dr. Michael Robinavitch in “The Pitt,” which he also executive produces.
Wyle was nominated five times between 1995 and 1999 for his supporting work as John Carter in “E.R.,” but he never won.
“The Pitt” reunited Wyle with his “E.R.” colleagues R. Scott Gemmill, who created the HBO Max show, and John Wells, an executive producer. The first season took place over the course of one harrowing shift at a Pittsburgh hospital, during which Dr. Robby deals with a steady stream of illnesses and gruesome injuries — as well as his own trauma from watching his mentor die of Covid years earlier — with a mix of empathy and no-nonsense professionalism.
Wyle beat out a field that included Adam Scott for “Severance”; Pedro Pascal for “The Last of Us”; Sterling K. Brown for “Paradise”; and Gary Oldman for “Slow Horses.”
