Now he can add another achievement to the list, albeit in a very different field: People magazine has named him the Sexiest Man Alive.
Internationally famous for portraying Dr. John Carter on ER (1994-2005), Wyle used his Golden Globe acceptance speech to pay heartfelt tribute to his second wife, actress Sara Wells. Together they have a daughter, Frances Harper, who is nearly 11 years old. From his first marriage to make-up artist Tracy Warbin, he also has two older children, Owen (23) and Auden (20).
Speaking about his two eldest children, Wyle has said that Owen is studying film, with ambitions to work either in front of or behind the camera, while his daughter "has already begun her acting career." "She and I had the chance to work together, playing father and daughter in an episode of Leverage: Redemption," he revealed to People.
The family divides its time between their mansion in Los Angeles' Los Feliz neighborhood and their ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley, which the actor purchased from Bo Derek with the fortune he earned from ER. It was also the setting chosen to celebrate his second wedding.
Born and raised in Hollywood, Noah developed an interest in acting from an early age. However, it was not until he was 14 that he took a real risk and skipped school to audition for a role in Valmont (1989), directed by Milos Forman. He did not get the part.
Up to that point, he had appeared in countless school productions, where his main goal was to have fun and learn, convinced that one day he would receive enough acting opportunities to make a living. His parents were not supportive of his decision to pursue a career in the arts, hoping instead that he would choose a more practical profession. Wyle ignored their advice and, while waiting for acting opportunities to arise, worked as a waiter to support himself. Three years after officially entering the industry, he landed a small role in A Few Good Men (1992).
According to the website Celebrity Net Worth, he has an estimated fortune of $25 million, which he seeks to invest wisely in real estate. He also has some unusual and, in some cases, costly hobbies, including collecting baseball cards and anything related to Noah's Ark.
His passion for the profession runs so deep that he serves as a volunteer artistic director for The Blank Theatre Company, a nonprofit theater organization in Hollywood that supports young playwrights.
To stay in shape, he prefers outdoor sports such as cycling, sandboarding, and basketball. He also enjoys taking naps in hammocks and devotes part of his time to philanthropic causes, advocating for a national health insurance system for all Americans and for animal rights, particularly the welfare of horses.
