In 1994, ER reinvented the medical drama.

With an ensemble cast including George Clooney and Julianna Margulies (The Good Life), the Chicago-set series was praised for its realism, pace and the way it dove into the lives of its characters — and the toll a medical career can take on a person.

But ER didn't just change a TV genre, it kick-started the careers of actors like Noah Wyle, who, when he was cast as naive medical student John Carter, was just 23 years old. Alongside Clooney, he quickly became a 90s "heart-throb".

Now, 30 years later, Wyle, Wells and ER writer R Scott Gemmill have reunited for medical drama The Pitt, starring Wyle as attending physician Dr Michael "Robby" Robinavitch.
