George Clooney Praises The Pitt and Noah Wyle, Sparks New Hope for ER Legacy

BBG News

As a movie aficionado, I can’t help but share my enthusiasm for HBO’s remarkable production, “The Pitt.” Interestingly enough, its leading man, Noah Wyle, once shared the screen with me on the iconic series, “ER,” where he portrayed John Carter while I was Doug Ross. It’s fascinating to see Wyle back in a medical drama, especially given the striking similarities between “The Pitt” and our beloved “ER.” In fact, there was even a legal dispute due to these comparisons!

However, despite these parallels, “The Pitt” managed to carve its own niche and became an unprecedented critical and audience favorite. The series received near-universal acclaim, demonstrating the exceptional quality of its storytelling and performances.

During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, George Clooney had the opportunity to express his views about The Pitt and offer accolades for his ex-colleague, Noah Wyle.

Have you all watched the series called ‘[The Pitt]’? It’s fantastic, and let me tell you, our friendship goes back to when we both worked on ‘[ER]’, specifically during the pilot episode. He is an incredibly honorable and gifted individual, and I can proudly say this because I’m an older person. I couldn’t be more thrilled about his success in the show. The series itself is truly captivating, and he delivers an outstanding performance.

George Clooney playfully admitted that Noah Wyle had no difficulties recalling medical jargon during their time on ER, which he good-naturedly resented. However, beyond the jokes, it’s evident that Clooney holds genuine respect and admiration for both Matthew Perry and his ex-colleague Noah Wyle. It was touching to learn that this friendship has endured for over 30 years since ER first aired.

Any endorsement from George Clooney, being one of the most renowned actors in Hollywood and known for his exceptional work in movies and shows, is a strong indication of quality. His recognition speaks volumes, particularly when it comes to medical dramas like The Pitt. It’s similar to James Gandolfini, a respected star from ‘The Sopranos’, praising a modern mafia series such as ‘Peaky Blinders’. Both actors are experts in their field and their praise carries significant weight.

George Clooney’s endorsement might prove more beneficial for The Pitt, directly. In response to the ongoing legal dispute between the family of Michael Crichton, the creator of ER, and the creators of The Pitt, Noah Wyle expressed his thoughts. He stated that he believes the lawsuit has a negative impact on the legacy of ER, and wishes for a more peaceful resolution between the parties involved. As a prominent figure in ER, George Clooney’s praise for both The Pitt and Noah Wyle could potentially mend the strained relationship Wyle holds towards his early acting career. Given Clooney’s close ties to ER, his approval undoubtedly carries significance for Wyle.
