Noah Wyle took home the Emmy for best actor in a drama series for “The Pitt” Season 2. It’s the second consecutive year he has won the statuette for his portrayal of Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch on the HBO Max medical drama.
\n\nWyle defeated fellow nominees Mark Ruffalo (“Task”), Gary Oldman (“Slow Horses”), Sterling K. Brown (“Paradise”) and Rufus Sewell (“The Diplomat”).
\n\n“Oh, this is overwhelming. And I just have to acknowledge the work of my fellow nominees,” Wyle said in his acceptance speech. “Your work is inspirational. I watch you. I learn from you. In particular, Mr. Oldman, I have to tell you, I don’t know if there’s an actor my age that didn’t look and think, ‘That’s the benchmark that I want to hit one day in my career.'”
\n\n“I’m so grateful to everybody that I work with, everybody at HBO, Casey and Sarah and Joey and all of our partners at Warner Television,” Wyle continued. “To all the men and women who work so hard on stage 22 each and every day, we’re going to be back there hitting it hard tomorrow morning, really early, the hard stuff. I grew up in L.A. I’m a Hollywood kid.
