At the 24th annual Santa Barbara Film Festival held this Thursday, Noah Wyle has confirmed for Usmagazine that Clooney is returning on the set to shoot the last season of ER, the Tv series which made him famous.

"I think it’s great!"says Wyle "I was on board early because I left a balance of episodes on my last contract, so I knew I would be part of the finale. It wasn't like pulling teeth."

Getting Clooney to play Dr. Doug Ross again in the finale wasn't easy for the producers, but eventually everybody signed in for the sake of the good old days.

There were interesting conversations to try and figure out where everyone was and how they felt about coming back and doing the final few episodes," claimed Wyle . "I think ultimately everyone is really excited and eager to have a sense of closure to what's been the most defining jobs of all of our lives."

The actor, who played Dr. John Carter tells us more about his character: "I'm coming back from having spent five years running a refugee camp in Darfur, and I've got a significant and serious health issue that forces me to seek treatment at the hospital where he is currently employed," he told Us of his character. "So we re-enter into each others lives again."

The new episodes of ER will run on NBC beginning with April 2.
