Noah Wyle is reflecting on the “two different healthcare systems” in America after the “Pitt” star’s first-ever Golden Globe win.
The 54-year-old star of the HBO medical series spoke backstage to the Daily News Sunday, just after winning Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama.
When asked how he believes the success of the show — the Globes’ newly minted Outstanding Drama Series — is making people think differently about the American healthcare system, the “ER” alum said: “There might be another story to tell about what’s happening in the healthcare system in America.”

“We have two different healthcare systems,” said star and executive producer Wyle, who previously earned three nominations for his work on “ER.”
“We have one for the affluent and one for people who live in certain areas and have certain colored skin and the people that are getting the sickest, the people that are hurt most are also getting some of the worst medical information.”
Wyle stars as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch on the hit show.
“The Pitt” on Sunday beat out Netflix’s “The Diplomat,” fellow HBO hit “The White Lotus,” and Apple TV+’s “Pluribus,” “Severance,” and “Slow Horses” for Outstanding Drama Series.
