“The Pit” star Noah Wyle was something of a real-life hero when he bandaged up an injured “KPop Demon Hunters” producer at Sunday night’s Critics Choice Awards ceremony.
Animation producer Michelle Wong allegedly “fell and injured herself” as she left an awards ceremony at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, a spy tells Page Six.
A source added: “Guess who bandaged her? Noah Wyle!”
Wong, who won Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song at the awards, was wearing a glamorous gown as she left the venue, and a spy said, “She tripped over her dress… in the back parking lot of Barker Hangar.”
A source said it was “dark” and that Wong suffered “two bloody wounds” as a result of the leak.
Someone brought out a first aid kit, and Wiley sprang into action in his tuxedo. (“The Pit” won Best Drama Series at the ceremony.)
“He did say, ‘I play a doctor on TV,'” said the spy, as he bandaged up a beaming producer.
A video seen by Page Six showed Wiley bandaging the power producer’s arm and telling him, “I hope you’re okay.” Wong added with a smile, “I almost fell out of the car!”
They even posed for photos taken by bystanders, with Mr. Wiley telling Mr. Wong to “raise your bloody elbow when you take the picture.”
Wiley has dual medical degrees, at least on TV. He currently stars as Dr. Michael “Robbie” Robinavich in the HBO hit “The Pit,” which has just begun its second season. Of course, he also played Dr. John Carter on the NBC medical drama “ER” from 1994 to 2005.
Ironically, Wiley recently told Jimmy Kimmel that after many years he realized he didn’t have what it takes to be a real doctor.
Wiley explained on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” “I think a trial by fire is a place to judge whether you have what it takes to be a doctor.” Last May. “And as I went through trials, I realized that I didn’t have what it took.”
The star recalled going out to lunch a few years ago with colleagues including George Clooney, Eric La Salle and Anthony Edwards, as well as the cast of ER: “Anthony’s little son, Bailey, might have been 4 at the time…One day we all went to lunch at the Smokehouse Restaurant across the street from Warner Bros., and we were all dressed up as doctors.”
Then, “Bailey started choking on fries…It wasn’t funny. But what was funny was that these four guys dressed like doctors didn’t know what to do.”
Fortunately, the busboy “walked up, gave Bailey a little nudge, and out came fries. At the restaurant, we were entertained by four guys who looked like doctors and looked like the ‘Keystone Police.'”
Page Six previously reported that KPop Demon Hunters singer-songwriter Lee Jae, who won Critics’ Choice honors that night alongside Mark Sonnenblick for their smash hit “Golden,” said of the song, “The intent of the song is in sync with how I felt when I wrote it. For me, it was a hopeful song. It gave me hope that someday my dreams would come true. I still feel that.”
Mr. Wong also produced the animated film “Vivo.”
