Performer of the Week: Noah Wyle 'The Pitt'

This week’s Performer of the Week should come at no surprise. Hands down, we are giving it to Noah Wyle also known as Dr. Michael Robinavitch also known as Dr. Robby on Max’s The Pitt. Since this series started streaming, we have been showing them so much love with Performer of the Week, but it has been well earned. The cast (and crew) are doing a phenomenal job over there.

This week’s episode "7:00 P.M."  was emotionally draining. We mentioned in our recap of the episode that the scene where Robby tells Jake that she died was so heartbreaking. The tension between Robby and Langdon is so full and it is going to be explosive when it comes to a head. But what really sealed the deal was that emotional breakdown that Robby had at the end of the episode.

Everything over the entire season, which was one shift for the characters, just collapsed over him and he felt the weight of all the patients he had lost so far and the loss of his mentor during the COVID-19 pandemic. I do not think it is talked about enough what healthcare workers went through during that time as well. Bless them, truly.

Noah Wyle is one of the most underrated actors out there. He just makes you feel what his character is going through and you get goosebumps as a viewer and fan of his work. I shed a little tear when he started spouting off all the patients he lost to Jake and Jake was just there confused and hurt. Such a raw and brutal scene. Some of the patients I forgot about until he mentioned him because this show moves very fast with the patients.

The show has already been renewed for a second season, and I do not know how they will top themselves but I am sure Noah and the cast will continue to impress.

Enjoy Performer of the Week Mr. Wyle!
