“Receive Six Class Clowns in Your Classroom”
Noah Wyle, known for his role as John Carter on the acclaimed series ER, recently shared insights on his new role in the HBO series The Pitt. During an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, he discussed the preparation the cast undertook before filming began.
Intensive Boot Camp for The Pitt Cast
The cast of The Pitt participated in an extensive boot camp to master the skills necessary for portraying doctors effectively. Wyle emphasized the importance of this training, noting that none of the young cast members had prior experience as doctors.
- Cast members learned essential medical techniques.
- Training included practical skills like wearing gloves and handling instruments.
- They engaged with real doctors and visited hospitals for a deeper understanding.
Comparison with ER Cast
Wyle humorously contrasted the current cast’s dedication with the more playful nature of the ER ensemble. He remarked that if the ER cast had undergone a similar boot camp, they might have behaved like “six class clowns,” diverting attention from the serious training.
