Noah Wyle and George Clooney couldn't be more proud of each other.
The former ER co-stars starred alongside each other in the beloved medical drama for five seasons before the Good Night, and Good Luck actor left the show to pursue other acting ventures, while the Leverage: Redemption actor left in 2005.
And though they have not shared the screen again since 1999, save for a cameo as doctors on Friends, this year, they have highlighted their ongoing bond in supporting each other's recent respective successes.

Meanwhile, George recently celebrated his first ever Tony nomination, after making his Broadway debut earlier this year in Good Night, and Good Luck, based on his Oscar-winning 2005 movie about McCarthyism and how CBS News confronted it.
In April, for the play's opening night afterparty at the New York Public Library, George and Noah enjoyed a special ER reunion, along with their fellow co-stars Juliana Margulies and Anthony Edwards.
Noah later took to Instagram and shared a photo of the four together, and gushed about George: "So very proud of my friend. So very happy for the reunion."
At the time, fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and rave over it, with one writing: "This photo makes me want to cry in the best way possible," as others followed suit with: "Omg!!! ALL my favorites E.R. doctors in one picture!!! And my favorite nurse too!!!" and: "The reunion the E.R. fans needed," as well as: "This is the best shot of the night."

"I get to say [that] because I'm an old man and I cannot be happier for his success on the show. The show is just a beautiful show, and he does just a great job with it," George emphasized.
