Noah Wyle, 55, has been named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, recognized for his role as Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch on the HBO Max medical drama The Pitt. The actor, who previously starred in ER, has won two consecutive Emmy Awards for outstanding lead actor in a drama series for his performance in The Pitt. Wyle said he initially thought the honor was a prank, but his wife, Sara Wells, encouraged him to accept it because she believes his qualities as a husband and father are worth celebrating. He is the father of a daughter who helped him with the pronunciation of the Shema and whose bat mitzvah has been scheduled.
Wyle, whose father is Jewish and mother is Episcopalian, did not grow up in a religious household but has drawn on his father's Russian-Jewish background to shape his character on The Pitt.
