He felt "way in over my head" academically and was placed on academic probation in his freshman year but ultimately graduated with a "decent" GPA.
Wyle had always been "enamoured" by show business growing up in Hollywood but he first acted on stage in his sophomore year at Thacher and, encouraged by the audience response, continued to act in, write and direct school plays.

At the age of 22, Wyle was focused on "movies and plays" but was encouraged by his agent to audition for the television pilot of a medical drama called ER.
The character of medical student John Carter was initially conceived of as comic relief and the casting director was impressed by Wyle's facility for "physical comedy" during the audition process.
Wyle himself felt a personal connection: "Right off the bat, I identified with him being born with a silver spoon in his mouth and it never quite fitting." After filming the ER pilot, Wyle auditioned for the part of Ross Geller in another new Warner Brothers show Friends; producers wanted him to film a screen test for the network but had to first w
ait to see whether ER would get picked up for a full season.
ER tested highly with audiences, was ordered for a full season and began airing on September 19, 1994. It soon became the second most-watched show on television after Seinfeld.
The main ensemble cast - Anthony Edwards, George Clooney, Eriq La Salle, Sherry Stringfield and Julianna Margulies - rose to fame and Wyle, the youngest member, has credited the others as mentors.
