ADD TO MY SPEAKER LIST
  • Emmy Award-Winning Actor, Producer & Director
  • Star & Executive Producer of HBO Max’s The Pitt
  • Beloved as Dr. John Carter on the Landmark Series ER
  • Longtime Humanitarian & Champion of Healthcare Workers

Noah Wyle has spent more than 30 years telling other people's stories. His own is getting more interesting by the year. The Emmy, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Award-winning actor, writer, director, and producer first captured audiences as Dr. John Carter on ER. Now, with HBO Max's The Pitt, he's at the center of another television phenomenon, this time helping shape the story both in front of and behind the camera.

From A Few Good Men and Donnie Darko to his acclaimed portrayal of Steve Jobs in Pirates of Silicon Valley, Wyle has built a career that reaches well beyond the roles that made him famous. His connection to healthcare is personal, too: his mother spent five decades as an orthopedic and operating room nurse, giving him a unique appreciation for the people whose experiences he's helped bring to life on screen.

Warm, thoughtful, and engaging, Noah Wyle takes audiences behind the scenes of an extraordinary career, sharing candid insights on creative reinvention, the realities of modern healthcare, and the power of storytelling to shape how we see the world. With humor and stories only he can tell, Wyle offers a conversation that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.
