This is from the 05/29/00 issue of People Magazine in the "Insider" section:

Fresh off his wedding and honeymoon near Santa Barbara, CA., ER star Noah Wyle traveled to Vancouver, B.C., to film a guest-starring role on his favorite TV show, "Beggars and Choosers", Showtime's series about a struggling TV network. His role as a prolific, successful producer came about after Wyle saw someone wearing a "Beggars and Chooser's" hat one day while having lunch in the commissary at Warner Bros., where "ER" is shot. After he told the person how much he liked the show, word got back to the producers, who then contacted Wyle's agent. "Write a good part and he'll do it," they were told. The show will air in July.
