‘The Pitt’s’ Noah Wyle says his nurse mother had a ‘PTSD reaction’ watching the show
Actor Noah Wyle, famously known for his role in the popular medical series “The Pitt,” has often been seen wearing a stethoscope, much like his mom does.
For many seasons of “ER”, Wyle was a prominent cast member, but then shifted to playing Dr. Michael Robinavitch, or Dr. Robby, in the latest Max series. Although viewers had seen him in numerous episodes of the previous show as an ER doctor, his mother, who used to be an orthopedic and operating room nurse, found it particularly moving watching him on “The Pitt”.
On Monday’s “Fresh Air” broadcast on NPR, Wyle discussed a recent chat with his mother, where she expressed that “The Pitt” seemed more authentic to her than “ER” did. This feeling of authenticity stems from the show’s unique structure – consisting of 15 episodes, each portraying an actual hour of an emergency room shift in real life.
Review
‘The Pitt’ offers hyperrealism, whereas ‘Doc’ leans into melodrama
Max’s ‘The Pitt,’ featuring Noah Wyle, and Fox’s ‘Doc,’ led by Molly Parker, present unique perspectives in the genre of medical dramas.
In a conversation, it was revealed that Wyle’s character on screen was going through a dramatic scene where he was recounting the individuals who had passed under his care, leading to a profoundly emotional climax. This information was shared by Wyle’s mother, Marjorie.
She told him that she believed she had a PTSD episode, and in an instant, all those people came back to her. She recollected the 4-year-old, the pregnant woman with the child, and even the gang member she tried to save by administering two units of blood. He noted that she seemed emotional as she conveyed this to him.
He characterized their chat as “a particularly poignant and transformative episode” which gave him an opportunity to ponder the hardships his mother faced throughout her over-35-year nursing career, the pain she experienced during that time.
Television
Noah Wyle, the lead actor and co-producer of Max’s popular medical drama series, recently shared his thoughts on the intense inaugural season with The Times, as it wrapped up on Thursday.
In an interview with The Times during filming in March, Wyle discussed his mother’s profession and how her role as a nurse continues to influence him deeply over the years.
He remarked, “Reflecting on times with my mother, it’s clear that she is incredibly tough.” He explained, “You need to be gentle when massaging her shoulders or else she might bruise. Even a little teasing can upset her. However, she showed remarkable resilience by nonchalantly transporting a man’s leg to pathology without batting an eye. I hold immense admiration for my mother and the strength, endurance, and determination she demonstrated every day.
Good news for fans! ‘The Pitt’ has been granted another season due to positive reviews from both critics and viewers, even amidst an ongoing legal dispute about the show. In 2024, the estate of Michael Crichton, known for creating ‘ER’, filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. Television, Wyle, John Wells (executive producer), and R. Scott Gemmill (showrunner), claiming that ‘The Pitt’ is essentially an unauthorized reboot of ‘ER’. The court case regarding this matter remains unresolved.
