Summary
- Noah Wyle refuted rumors of auditioning for Ross Geller.
- He believes the rumor stemmed from a casting list mention.
- Wyle and George Clooney appeared in a "Friends" Season 1 episode.
Noah Wyle has definitively addressed speculation that he was once considered for the role of Ross Geller in the popular NBC sitcom "Friends." In a recent interview, Wyle clarified that he never auditioned for the part, expressing that David Schwimmer was the definitive choice for Ross.
Wyle suggested that the persistent rumor might stem from his name appearing on an early casting consideration list, which never materialized into an actual audition. This clarification comes after similar denials in past interviews.
Interestingly, Wyle and his "ER" co-star George Clooney did make a memorable guest appearance in Season 1 of "Friends." They portrayed doctors in an episode, a nod to their prominent roles on the NBC medical drama, which premiered around the same time as "Friends" in 1994.
