Noah Wyle was "profoundly sad and disappointed" to be sued by the widow of 'E.R.' creator Michael Crichton.
The 53-year-old actor - who shot to fame playing Dr. John Carter in the medical series - stars in and executive produces 'The Pitt', a real-time drama set in an emergency room and earlier this year, Sherri Crichton launched legal action against him, and others working on the Max series, including creator R. Scott Gemmill, executive producer John Wells and Warner Bros. Television for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and intentional interference with contractual relations.
