In Falling Skies ER doctor Noah Wyle makes career change to alien invasion fighter
Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Friday, June 26, 2009

Noah Wyle will lead humanity's last fighting chance against alien invaders in TNT's untitled new series in development. The ER cast member who played Dr. John Carter through 10 seasons of the popular NBC drama has been cast as the lead in the new action/sci-fi series which is being executive produced by Wyle's old boss, Steven Spielberg.
In talking about the decision to hire the actor, Spielberg said, "It is a privilege to be starting a second series with Noah. The first didn't do too bad."
The script for the pilot episode is being written by Robert Rodat, the Oscar-nominated writer of Saving Private Ryan. Rodat and Spielberg developed the idea together which is set in the aftermath of an all-out invasion by hostile extraterrestrials. The majority of Earth's population has been killed and civilization is all but wiped out. The few survivors left on the planet try to survive and continue to fight against the invaders. Wyle will play the leader of the group of soldiers and civilians.
Wyle had made three fantasy/adventure films in The Librarian series for the network. The new series will air sometime in 2010.
