Early Life and Education

Noah Strausser Speer Wyle (54 years old) was born in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on June 4, 1971, to Marjorie “Marty” Speer, a nurse, and Stephen Wyle, an electrical engineer and entrepreneur.

He spent his childhood between the city and his grandparents’ 4,000-acre cattle ranch in North Fork, California, describing his upbringing as “half-city, half-country mice.”

He attended Gardner Street Elementary School and Oakwood School in North Hollywood, then spent four years at The Thacher School in Ojai, California—graduating in 1989 despite academic struggles, which he later attributed in part to undiagnosed mild ADHD. Wyle was the first in his family not to attend college.

He wed actress Sara Wells in June 2014, and they have one daughter, Frances Harper Wyle (b. June 22, 2015). Wyle keeps his personal life private and has no known public controversies.
