Noah Wyle reflects on being back in Emmy game
Noah Wyle admits he once “gave up hope” of earning another Emmy nomination.
The actor, who stars in HBO Max’s The Pitt, revealed at the streamer’s Nominee Celebration in Hollywood on August 17 that he had stopped believing he’d see that day again.
“I’m a little different when it hits. It’s hitting an older man, that’s for sure,” Wyle, 54, told People Magazine. “And one who’s been around now for 30 years, done a lot of different things … I’m overwhelmed by this.”
“I gave up hope that this was going to be something my career would be part of again — that this focus would be on my work. It’s really amazing,” he continued.
Wyle, who received nominations this year for Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Drama Series (as an executive producer), was last recognised 26 years ago for his portrayal of Dr. John Carter on ER.
He earned five more nods in the Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category between 1995 and 1999.
The actor also gave longtime collaborator and fellow executive producer John Wells a shoutout for helping with his professional growth.
“I go back to giving all the credit to John Wells, who’s the true godfather of [ER and The Pitt] and has been the sort of mentor figure to me over two of the most rewarding creative experiences of my life,” Wyle remarked.
“Anything that I’m doing on this is to please him and to stay under his protective umbrella for as long as I possibly can.”
Wyle also got real about the generational shift in television, confessing that he now feels like “the elder statesman” among the younger cast.
“You don’t really expect that to happen, but it happened — and now I’m watching this wonderful generation of young talent,” he said. “It’s their moment in the sun.”
The Pitt is currently streaming on HBO Max. Season 2 premieres in January, while the 77th Emmy Awards will air live on September 14 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS.
Demi Moore is continuing her remarkable career resurgence, signing on for the new culinary thriller Tyrant alongside Charlize Theron and Julia Garner.
Variety broke the news exclusively, reporting that Moore has accepted a key role in the high-stakes film set within New York City’s elite fine dining scene.
David Weil, known for Amazon series Hunters and Invasion, will write and direct, working from a script he developed with Cody Behan.
Production is expected to begin within weeks in Los Angeles, having secured a California Film Tax Credit.
The film will be produced by Theron alongside her Secret Menu partners Beth Kono and A.J. Dix, as well as The Picture Company’s Alex Heineman and Andrew Rona.
Weil produces with partner Natalie Laine Williams, with Stan Wlodkowski serving as executive producer.
Moore arrives at this project on the back of one of the strongest periods of her career.
Her performance in The Substance, in which she played a fading star who takes a mysterious drug to reclaim her youth, earned her a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award, as well as an Oscar nomination.
She will next be seen in Boots Riley’s I Love Boosters in late May, and currently stars in the top-rated Taylor Sheridan series Landman.
United States (U.S.) Navy has effectively implemented the naval blockade of Iran and has turned back nine ships in just the first 48 hours of the blockade.
The blockade was announced by the U.S. President Donald Trump after Iran and U.S. officials failed to reach an agreement during Islamabad Talks, on Sunday, in Pakistan.
In an update on Wednesday, April 15, 2025, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) that vessel reversed course without the need to fire shots, adding that at least five of those ships were carrying oil.
CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper said that an estimated 90% of the Iranian economy is fueled by trade through sea, adding, “U.S. forces have completely halted economic trade going into and out of Iran by sea.”
Thousands of U.S. service members, including 5,000 Sailors and Marines from the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, are carrying out operations to enforce the blockade of ships entering and departing Iranian ports.
CENTCOM said: “U.S. forces are present, vigilant, and ready to ensure compliance.”
It warned that the American forces were ready to act against any vessel trying to violate the blockade.
Pakistan, acting as a mediator, is attempting to secure a cessation of hostilities between both countries and have intensified its diplomatic efforts. Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir arrived in Tehran to arrange a second round of talks.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also embarked on an official diplomatic visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkiye in a bid to end the Iran war.
