Noah describes himself as fortunate and well intentioned. He loves reading books. "I have very eclectic tastes and a very eclectic collection. It goes in jags. I usually read a writer and try to read most of his canon, and if I’m aware of early influences, I go back and read those. I had to take out two kitchen cabinets and move all the dishes and cups out, because I needed more bookshelf space'".In 2014, between the third and fourth season of 'Falling Skies', Noah started working as an executive-producer, actor and writer on 'The Librarians'.

Noah was interviewed about his
role as Flynn Carsen in The Librarians including one question about
his costume:
Q: Your costume, it's very dapper, but
it has a touch of Doctor Who about it.
A: The bow tie tips it over. But Doctor
Who did not invent the flamboyant costume. There's a little bit of
Oscar Wilde, Nikola Tesla. I have a great photo display from great
thinkers, and artists from the 19th and 20th century. I picked out
pieces from all of them that I like, and with our costume designer
pulled things that we could put together. I don't mind going plaid on
plaid I think it's an interesting idea. I have a lot of input into my
costume. I like it to feel a little bit nonsensical, an English
gentleman mixed with a wild artistic flair.

March 25: Noah publishes a column in Variety about why his 'Blank Theatre' doesn't pay actors minimum wage for rehearsal hours: Guest Column: Noah Wyle Urges ‘No’Vote on Actors’ Equity’s 99-Seat Theater Proposal
NOAH WYLE, IN HIS OWN WORDS:
In 17 years serving as artistic
producer of Hollywood’s Blank Theatre Company, I’ve learned two
things about running a small theater.
The first is that you will spend most
of your time engaged in an exhausting, bare-knuckled fight for
survival. The second is that it’s worth it.
The Blank operates a 49-seat black box
on that stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard recently designated
“Hollywood Theatre Row” by the Los Angeles City Council. We’re
a membership company, dedicated to providing a home for artists and
to the development of new works for the American stage.
So why don’t we pay actors minimum
wage for rehearsal hours? New works. 49 seats. The perfect recipe for
a non-profit enterprise. All of our economics begin at that
chokepoint: 49 seats x 4 shows a week = ticket sales alone won’t
get us there. Keeping our doors open requires constant fundraising,
grant writing and, above all, volunteerism.
Call it “love of the craft,” esprit
de corps or old-fashioned apprenticeship, we’ve survived because of
a consensus of understanding: We are here to make theater, not money;
that’s what TV and movies are for. Intimate theaters show we value
you, the actor, by inviting you to create something new with us.
You’re compensated by having a place to nurture your talent,
showcase your abilities, satisfy your creativity and play roles the
commercial entertainment machine would never let you play.
This proposed amendment is the
reignition of an old debate, and it’s not “How do we monetize
art?” or “How do we compensate artists?” From our perspective,
the pertinent question looks to be: How can Actors’ Equity secure
more contract weeks in a town where the 99-Seat Plan is so widely
used?
The apparent strategy, with this
proposal, is to force the closure of small theaters in the hope that
they’ll consolidate into mid-sized theaters, thus generating more
full Equity contracts.
As a proud member of Equity, I
understand the issue and applaud the intention, however misguided. As
a small theater producer, however, I am extremely frustrated.
Intimate theater producers have
repeatedly proposed sitting down to negotiate a compromise with
Equity before and after this proposal was announced, but Equity has
not allowed such dialogue to occur.
We are not anti-union, nor are we
anti-minimum wage, but Equity’s failure to converse with us and/or
articulate the complexity of the issue to its members has forced us
to engage in a media campaign to give full context to the debate.
Small theater provides opportunities
for actors and directors to stretch and hone their skills. We offer
an intimate, affordable theatrical experience to local audiences,
play a vital role in the development of new work and are important
economic stimulators for the entire County of Los Angeles.
The current 99-Seat Plan may be flawed,
but you do not rid your home of termites by setting fire to it.
I will be voting NO on the referendum
to eliminate the Los Angeles 99-Seat Plan.

On Wednesday March 4, Noah, Tim Robbins and other actors of the 'I Love 99' movement protested against the proposal of the Actors Equity Association (AEA) to alter the '99 Seat Theatre Plan'.
Pro99 is a collection of thousands of
individual theatrical artists who have become a community choosing to
work in Intimate Theatres under 99 Seats in Los Angeles. They are professional actors,
directors, writers, designers, stage managers and producers. Many of
them are proud to be members of Actors Equity Association. Most of
them are members of other unions as well. Pro99 believes they have the right to
perform their craft in an intimate and non-commercial setting and
volunteer their talents in search of creative fulfillment. The site ilove99.org is the online
home of Pro99.

Graham Yost has teamed with actor Noah Wyle for a limited series at
FX examining the political battles in the U.S. over the decision to
enter World War II.
“Those Angry Days,” from Sony
Pictures TV and FX Prods., will focus on the period between 1937 and
1941, as war spread across Europe while isolationist forces in
Congress and elsewhere railed against the prospect of America coming
to Britain’s aid in the fight against Hitler.
CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow is said to
be a character in the series, as is President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Wyle is believed to be on board to play Murrow. The project is in the
early stage of development with a script commitment at FX.
Yost (pictured left) and Wyle (right) are exec producers along with Jim Katz and Danny Sussman.
Yost is about to wrap up six seasons as
exec producer of FX drama “Justified,” which is also a Sony
Pictures TV production. Wyle is just completing production on the
fifth and final season of TNT’s sci-fi hit “Falling Skies,”
which will unspool this summer.

About the wedding he says: "It was beautiful,", "It was great. It was a very small
ceremony — we have this little farm in California. We got married
on the ranch in front of the barn and then took a honeymoon.". He and Sara Wells honeymooned in Paris, calling their getaway "incredible"
and "romantic." The couple began dating in 2011.
Noah and Sara in Paris at Place des Vosges with a woman of a guided tour. Someone tweeted that she saw Noah Wyle
in Paris at the Musée de l'Orangerie in the week after the
marriage. On June 7 or 8 Noah married his fiancee Sara Wells at his
ranch in Santa Barbara, California surrounded by friends and family,
according to the New York Post. Noah was previously married to Tracy
Warbin, the mother of his two children. They divorced in 2009.
About how he met Sara he said in an interview: Noah also genuinely loves being around books (one of his favourite bibliophile pick-up lines, he said, is, “What are you reading?”). In fact, when he met his wife, one of the things that broke the ice between them was when he saw the books in her apartment. “I was so intrigued by some of the titles there. We had a lot of the same books, which I thought was interesting, but she also had a lot of books I knew nothing about, and I found that really sexy,” he said.

In March 2013 Noah went to Asheville to
In 1970s Western North Carolina, a young man stumbles across a grove of marijuana, sees an opportunity to make some easy money, and steps into the jaws of a bear trap. He is discovered by the ruthless farmer who set the trap to protect his plants, and begins his struggle with the evils of his community’s present as well as those of its history. Before long, he has moved out of his parents' home to live with a onetime schoolteacher who now lives in a trailer outside town, deals a few drugs, and studies journals from the American Civil War. Their fates become entwined as the community's terrible past and corrupt present lead to a violent reckoning with the marijuana farmer and with a Civil War massacre that continues to divide an Appalachian community.
David Burris: “Noah’s family is from Kentucky,
and he’s always wanted to do something sort of rural and Southern,” Burris said. “He was one of the first few names I wrote
down for this part, someone who’s gone through experiences and come
out a little wounded, rougher and tougher.
In March 2013, Noah plays a funny guest role on Lab Rats as mad scientist Dr. Evans. The episode 'Twas the Mission Before Christmas' aired in December 3013.
