The Pitt star<\/a> Noah Wyle<\/a>\u2018s having one of his biggest years yet after scoring the Emmy in September and snagging the Golden Globe and Critics\u2019 Choice Awards for his role on the medical drama.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that sounded like a prank \u2013 just not in a million years did I think that this would be an honour bestowed on me,\u201d the 55-year-old said of the news.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t the actor\u2019s first brush with the magazine\u2019s sexiest listicles, having featured in a 1996 issue featuring the \u201cSexy Men of ER\u201d, alongside his then co-star George Clooney.<\/p>\n

While Clooney went on to win the Sexiest Man Alive title twice (in 1997 and 2006), Wyle has only now, 30 years later, been crowned for the first time.<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old said his three kids \u2013 Owen, 24, Auden, 21, and Frances, 11 \u2013 all had different reactions to the news but his wife, Sara, thinks it\u2019s an accolade long overdue.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe thinks I\u2019m a good guy and that the kind of person that I am and the kind of father I am, the kind of husband I am, is worth promoting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201c[And] she was very pleased that this reflects well on her taste.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he suspects his friends will have a different view.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to take a lot of ribbing from friends and family for sure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Wyle added that Clooney will likely \u201cbe amused and feel, hopefully, like a proud papa, that I\u2019ve come of gray-haired age\u201d.<\/p>\n

Wyle, who had a small role in the 1992 drama A Few Good Men alongside Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore, became a household name with the success of ER.<\/p>\n

From playing Dr John Carter in a Chicago emergency room in the 1990s to a career revival now, playing Dr Michael \u201cRobby\u201d Robinavitch in a Pittsburgh trauma centre, which he calls the \u201csecond lightning strike in my life\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pitt star Noah Wyle\u2018s having one of his biggest years yet after scoring the Emmy in September…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":943031,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-943030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=943030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/943031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=943030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=943030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=943030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
