Early life
Wyle, one of six children, was born in Hollywood, California, to Marjorie (Speer), a registered orthopedic head nurse, and Stephen Wyle, an electrical engineer.[1] Noah's parents eventually split in the late seventies and his mother later remarried to James C. Katz, a film restorationist.[2] Wyle's paternal grandparents, Edith and Frank Wyle, founded the Los Angeles Craft and Folk Art Museum. Edith Wyle was an expressionist paintor who also created The Egg and The Eye, an innovative café and shop on Wilshire Boulevard in the Miracle Mile district of Los Angeles, which soon became the preferred hangout for artists, travelers and dreamers. [3] Wyle was raised in a Reform Jewish home. He attended The Thacher School and graduated with the class of 1989. Wyle participated in a theater arts program at Northwestern University after his junior year of high school and appeared in high school plays even winning an award for a play he wrote. After graduation he studied with acting teacher Larry Moss while living in a small apartment on Hollywood Boulevard.
Personal life
He was linked to several women during ER´s first seasons including Samantha Mathis, "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston and ER co-star Sherry Stringfield. While filming The Myth of Fingerprints in 1996, he met make-up artist Tracy Warbin and eventually married her on May 6, 2000, after proposing to her on Valentine´s Day the year before. Together they have a son, Owen Strausser Speer Wyle, born November 9, 2002, and announced on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno the couple's second pregnancy, daughter Auden Wyle was born October 15, 2005. He and his family are vegetarians.[citation needed]
In 1999, Wyle made an appearance during the beginning of Steve Jobs' Macworld Expo Keynote presentation, initially pretending to be Jobs. When the audience caught on, Jobs himself appeared and began to banter with Wyle.[4] It was a practical joke by Jobs and Wyle in light of the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley.
Wyle devotes much of his free time to the international non-profit organization Doctors of the World and to his work as a member of the Human Rights Watch Council. Wyle also serves as the voluntary artistic producer of the Blank Theatre Company in Hollywood, which stages annual young playwrights festival and whose alumni include Ed Asner, Sarah Michelle Gellar, D.B. Sweeney, James Kerwin, Amber Benson, Megan Henning, Travis Schuldt, Warren Davis, Grant Show, and Nicholas Brendon. He also recently acquired Second Stage Theater in Hollywood, where the company has mounted numerous successful productions.
Wyle bought Bo Derek's ranch in Santa Ynez Valley, California, in June 1999, for approximately $2.5 million. In 2006, it was reported that the Wyles like the ranch so much that they're selling their five-bedroom, 4 1/2-bathroom in-town house so they can spend more time in the country. They listed their Los Feliz (Los Angeles) home at close to $4.4 million. The traditional-style house was designed by architect Paul Williams (architect), was built in 1934 and has a theater, a detached guesthouse-office and a landscaped yard with city views, a pool, a koi pond, a patio and a fire pit.
Was the spokesperson for The Cover the Uninsured campaign in 2004, which had as Honorary Co-Chairs former Presidents Gerald R. Ford and Jimmy Carter.
