There’s a reason why Jennifer Hudson gave Noah Wyle a “hall pass” from dancing his way through her show’s Spirit Tunnel. “The Pitt” star declined enter “The Jennifer Hudson Show” set the way many guests have, which is to dance through a “tunnel” created by a team of show employees as they clap and sing. Wyle later explained to Hudson why he declined to show of his moves. “It would’ve triggered a bigger breakdown than I had on (‘The Pitt’) two weeks ago if I had done it,” Wyle said. Viewers of his hit medical drama know that Wyle was referencing a particularly intense episode in which his character, Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, was overcome with emotion after suffering the loss of a patient following a mass shooting. Wyle said a classmate’s bar mitzvah in 1984 has forever deterred him from dancing in public. At the time, the actor said, he “fancied” himself a breakdancer.
