Who is The Pitt star Noah Wyle’s actress wife, Sara Wyle? The former ER actor met his wife — known for her roles in Californication and Nip/Tuck — while working together on a production at the Blank Theatre Company.
Noah Wyle is currently facing backlash from the widow of ER creator Michael Crichton, who alleges that his HBO series The Pitt is strikingly similar to her late husband’s iconic medical drama — but who exactly is Wyle’s wife, Sara?
According to People magazine, Wyle has expressed feeling “profoundly sad and disappointed” over the lawsuit filed by Crichton’s estate against him and others involved with The Pitt, which claims the show shares too many similarities with ER.
In August 2024, several months before The Pitt debuted on HBO Max, Sherri Crichton — the widow of ER creator Michael Crichton — filed a lawsuit against Noah Wyle, series creator R. Scott Gemmill, executive producer John Wells, and Warner Bros. Television, accusing them of breach of contract, according to Variety.
Wyle shared his emotional response to the lawsuit, saying, “The only thing I’m legally allowed to comment on is how I feel — and that’s profoundly sad and disappointed. This has cast a shadow over a legacy that didn’t deserve it. What could’ve been a collaboration has become unnecessarily bitter. On the 30th anniversary of ER, I’ve never felt less like celebrating that milestone.”
Now 53, Wyle serves as both actor and producer on The Pitt, having starred in ER more than 15 years ago. Discussions about an ER reboot had taken place, but negotiations reportedly broke down when Warner Bros. and Sherri Crichton couldn’t reach a deal. Wyle told Variety, “We deliberately took the concept in a completely different direction — not because of legal fears, but because we had a new story to tell and didn’t want to rehash our past work.”
