Noah Wyle Back in the 'ER'
Noah Wyle returns to TNT as Flynn Carsen in The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice, the third installment of TNT's hugely successful Librarian franchise.
The third time around, it's obvious that Wyle is having more fun than ever, but he's also looking forward to reprising his role as the hugely popular Dr. Carter on ER.
You seem to love playing Flynn Carsen.
Noah: 'He pretty much encapsulates all the reasons I wanted to be an actor. I grew up watching Harrison Ford take on the bad guys. But I also loved old movies starring Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks swinging their blades. So it was a childhood fantasy of mine to be a swashbuckling action hero.'

Here are some fun quotes from Noah!

(on his fame) 'It's funny. Some days I don't even notice it. Most of the time, people are complimentary. And I'm an actor who loves compliments, so I find it very gratifying. And then there are days when you just don't wanna be the guy on the TV show. You just want to hide.' (Cosmo, 1997)
(Comparing himself to his ER character John Carter) 'Carter has a strong moral backbone and is sweet, romantic, funny and self-effacing. I'm sure a lot of people think, "What an ideal guy. Love to find a guy like that." Noah Wyle ain't him. He's trying. But he's just a different guy. At the end of the day, John Carter is going to be in the television archives and Noah Wyle is still going to be walking around the earth. And I hope when that day comes, I'm ready to be me.'
'I made a vow that I won't be gone for 80-hour weeks.'
(about the sitcom Scrubs) 'They've got the great benefit of having eight years of our storytelling to make fun of. I wish that I could sort of slip them some story lines because I know I've got some good ones...
