5 Projects You Might Know The Pitt Star Noah Wyle From

Before The Pitt there was ER, and in between the 53-year-old American actor has tried on many different character types – from a tech genius to a nerdish bookworm to a lawyer.

Here’s the list of movies and TV shows Noah Wyle is famous for. Have you seen all of them?

Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999)

This biographical television drama is based on the book Fire in the Valley: The Making of the Personal Computer, written in 1984 by Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine.

It explores how the rivalry between Apple Inc. and Microsoft founders affected the development of the personal computer. The story covers the years 1971 – 1997. Noah Wyles plays Steve Jobs and Anthony Michael Hall plays Bill Gates.

The film was warmly received by critics, unlike Steve Jobs who didn’t like the film, nor the screenplay. However, he appreciated Wyle’s performance and admitted their likeness. He even played a little prank on the 1999 Macworld convention audience, when he asked Wyle to dress like him and appear on stage for the first minutes of his presentation.

The Librarian trilogy (2004 – 2008)

David Titcher’s original fantasy-adventure films made for television presented a story of a young and brilliant, but at the same time awkward and jumpy perpetual student Flynn Carsen (Wyle), who gets employed as a librarian in the NY Metropolitan Library and discovers a world of historical and mostly magical artefacts.

Throughout the films, Flynn embarks on various quests in order to recover or discover powerful relics and stop the bad guys from using them with malicious intent. Using his quick wit and extensive knowledge he slowly overcomes his fears, fights bad guys, and falls in love.

Falling Skies (2011 – 2015)

In this sci-fi post-apocalyptic television series Noah Wyle plays a former history professor Tom Mason. The series follows a group of alien invasion survivors calling themselves the “2nd Mass”, led by retired US Army colonel.

Several races of invaders destroyed all major cities on the Earth, defeated all the world’s military and killed over 90 percent of the planet’s population within a few days. Each episode this group of insurgency has to find and protect other survivors and fight back the alien forces.

Created by Robert Rodat with Steven Spielberg as an executive producer, the series had mostly positive reviews and received several TV awards nominations. It premiered on TNT in the US and internationally in more than 75 countries.

The Librarians (2014 – 2018)

Wyle reprised his role as Flynn Carsen in a direct spin-off of the Librarian films that introduced newly recruited employees of the Library. Throughout its 4-season run, they become a strong team and find ways to help Flynn save the world facing catastrophic events.

This time, Noah Wyle had a recurring role and the main cast included Rebecca Romijn, Christian Kane, Lindy Booth, John Harlan Kim and John Larroquette. Just like The Librarian films, the show premiered on TNT and received generally favorable reviews.

Leverage: Redemption (2021 – present)

A revival of an action crime television drama Leverage (2008 – 2012), the series follows a group of people with a particular set of skills: a grifter, a hitter, a thief, a hacker, and a fixer. They team up to make the rich and powerful of our world pay for their crimes and face the consequences of their actions.

Noah Wyle is playing Harry Wilson, a former corporate lawyer, who joins the team in an attempt to redeem himself for playing on the wrong side of the field. In 2023, the show was renewed for a third season that will air on Prime Video.
