Dr. Robby was actor Noah Wyle, the star and a producer of the show, and the dozens of patients, doctors and nurses around him were actors cluttering this 18,000-square-foot stage that seemed just like a real hospital — minus,

HBO Max finally drops the much-awaited teaser of The Pitt Season 2 as Noah Wyle gears up for another round of intense ER chronicles.

Shawn Hatosy admits to finding Noah Wyle “annoyingly articulate” when it comes to expressing his passion about The Pitt. He also can’t imagine doing HBO Max drama without the former ER actor. Speaking at the recent Contenders at HBO Max event,

For example, Katherine LaNasa, who stars as Dana Evans on The Pitt, guest-starred in a Season 9 episode of ER. Shawn Hatosy, who plays Dr. Jack Abbot, popped up in ER Season 13, as did Michael Hyatt, who plays Gloria. And Tracy Vilar, who recurs on The Pitt as Lupe Perez, recurring in ER ’s fourth season.

"The focus was always on the mental health of the people that are in these jobs," Pitt star Noah Wyle told the audience at the HBO Max Emmy Nominee Celebration on Sunday. "That was the thesis of Season 1: to say that the fragility of our [health-care] system is commensurate with the fragility of the practitioners — and that if we support them and respect them,

Noah Wyle, best known for playing Dr. John Carter on the iconic medical drama ER, has offered fans a tantalizing update on whether other original cast members might appear in his new show, The Pitt. While he remains tight-lipped about specifics,

I knew I would have access to the original footage of ER so I could do scenes with Noah as Dr. John Carter and flash back to him as John Carter as a med student,” the creator tells THR.
