The actor did location filming there during his "ER" run, and he returned to the Windy City as a principal member of the ensemble cast of "The Red Line," a limited- run CBS drama series that plays out in two-hour installments over four consecutive Sundays starting April 28. Prolific TV-show maker Greg Berlanti ("The Flash," "God Friended Me") and filmmaker Ava DuVernay ("Selma") are among the project's executive producers. So are Caitlin Parrish and Erica Weiss, who adapted a play they wrote into "The Red Line." It unites various characters through a tragedy: the wrongful killing of a black doc - tor (Corey Reynolds, "The Closer") by a white police officer (Noel Fisher, "Shameless"). Wyle portrays Daniel, a high-school teacher par - ticularly impacted by the death, as is his teenage daughter (Aliyah Royale) ... who frequently rides the Chicago train known as The Red Line with him. Emayatzy Corinealdi (also of DuVernay's movie "Middle of Nowhere") and Elizabeth Laidlaw ("Chicago P.D.") also have promi - nent roles. "I have to say the emotional reac- tion that I had to the first reading of this (story) was intense," Wyle recalls. "I have never read a piece of material and had it move me like that, and that consistently happened with every single script. I can't even talk about this show without getting upset. It was much more about stay - ing out of my own way and going in and doing my homework, but being really open to being in Chicago and working with the Chicago crew — and working with a diverse crew and a young crew, and a crew that didn't really have a frame of reference from when I was in that city before." After producing his main acting projects ("The Librarians," "Falling Skies") in recent years, Wyle put himself in others' creative hands again for "The Red Line." Weiss ex - plains that she and Parrish "are from the Chicago theater scene, and that community is a part of who we are in everything we do. When we cre - ated this show, it was never going to be set or filmed anywhere else. "The city has a burgeoning indus- try in film and TV where more and more things are being filmed there," adds Weiss. "Amazing crew, incred- ible local talent ... so for us, it was a no brainer. And I think Chicago has a lot to prove in the national conversation. We want to show the country that we are more than a talking point, more than the narra - tive that is often used to describe the city. There are so many layers and so many different kinds of people, it really is the perfect microcosm to tell an American story." Celebrity Scoop Celebrity Scoop Noah Wyle rides 'The Red Line' in CBS' limited drama series Cover Story Cover Story By George Dickie Ask interior design maven Genevieve Gorder who her most difficult client was and she will have a succinct answer. "Myself," admits the host of "Best Room Wins," Bravo's latest entry in the design-show genre. "I'm my most difficult client. I did a whole series designing my own home ('Genevieve's Renovation') and I think knowing so much about the industry, making decisions for my - self is that much harder because I know too much. ... When I know the selection of every knob and handle and basket and color, you can get lost when it comes to your own edifice." In her latest series, which pre - mieres Wednesday, May 1, Gorder serves as host and judge (along with Elle Decor Editor-in-Chief Whitney Robinson and a rotating guest judge) as two up-and-coming de - signers try to create luxury looks on a budget of $25,000 for two couples Checking in with Genevieve Gorder each with a room in desperate need of a makeover. The winner gets an online spread on ElleDecor.com while both couples get lackluster rooms renovated for essentially free. Of course, that doesn't mean all is hunky dory with the clients. Some come in with unrealistic expectations and can get a little cranky when they're not met, which is where, Gorder says, some gentle guidance is in order. "It's something that our clients al - ways need a little hand-holding and a lot of education on," she explains. "That's why they hire us, because they don't know. So it's our job to really break that down to them in a gracious and inspiring way, as much as we can be, during this re - ally stressful time. So that's how it goes but you're always going to run into an exceptional personality, one that may never be happy, one that's always trying to squeeze a nickel out of a penny. You know, it takes all sorts. So personalities are also what makes the show interesting."
