The Pitt’s Noah Wyle talks health care disparity at Golden Globes
Noah Wyle reflects on America’s “two different healthcare systems” following the “Pitt” star’s first-ever Golden Globes win.
The 54-year-old star of the HBO medical series spoke behind the scenes to the Daily News on Sunday, just after winning the award for best actor in a television drama series.
When asked how he thought the success of the show — the Globes’ outstanding new drama series — was making people think differently about America’s health care system, the “ER” alum replied, “There might be another story to tell about what’s going on in America’s health care system.” »

“We have two different health care systems,” said star and executive producer Wyle, who has already earned three nominations for his work on “ER.”
“We have one for rich people and one for people who live in certain areas and have a certain skin color and the people who get the sickest, the people who get hurt the most also get some of the worst medical information.”
Wyle plays Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch in the hit series.
“The Pitt” on Sunday beat out Netflix’s “The Diplomat,” HBO’s “The White Lotus,” as well as Apple TV+’s “Pluribus,” “Severance” and “Slow Horses” for outstanding drama series.
