Noah Wyle, star and executive producer on The Pitt<\/em>, has revealed that he missed out on roles in multiple films, including one that went on to win several Oscars, because of his busy filming schedule for ER<\/em>.<\/p>\n

During a recent appearance on the Still Here Hollywood<\/em> podcast, Wyle was asked if \u201cthere\u2019s ever been a big role that you wanted that you didn\u2019t get.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, tons. Happens all the time,\u201d the actor admitted. \u201cWe talked about a couple of them, actually. Good Night, and Good Luck<\/em>, George [Clooney] offered me a part in that. I couldnt\u2019 get out of ER<\/em> to do it. I was offered the part of Private Ryan in Saving Private Ryan<\/em>; couldn\u2019t get out of ER<\/em> to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wyle starred on the long-running medical drama for 11 seasons, from 1994 to 2005, and later returned for several episodes in seasons 12 and 15. Steven Spielberg\u2019s Saving Private Ryan<\/em> was released in 1998 and won five Academy Awards. As for Good Night, and Good Luck<\/em>, Clooney, who also starred on ER <\/em>for five full seasons, directed and played Fred Friendly in the 2005 film. The latter also received six Oscar nominations.<\/p>\n

Looking back on the projects, Wyle doesn\u2019t fret too much, as he had nothing but praise for the actors who ultimately landed the roles he had to pass on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI almost am glad that I didn\u2019t do them, because, you know, those guys made those parts,\u201d he said. \u201cMatt Damon was Private Ryan. There were two. I got offered the part of Upham, which was Jeremy Davies\u2019 part, and he was so phenomenal in that I couldn\u2019t imagine doing anything close to what he did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Wyle plays Dr. Michael \u201cRobby\u201d Robinavitch on The Pitt<\/em>, which has become a critical success, winning five Emmys for season one, including best actor in a drama series for Wyle. Season two of the HBO Max series was also a frontrunner heading into the 2026 Emmy nominations.<\/p>\n
