Why Noah Wyle Never Refuses An Autograph After A Surprising Childhood Encounter With Eddie Murphy Actor Noah Wyle makes it a point to never refuse a young fan's request for an autograph. And his personal rule goes all the way back to a childhood encounter with comedian Eddie Murphy. When Wyle was just nine years old, he ran into Murphy, who was starring on Saturday Night Live at the time. Excited to meet the comedian, the young boy approached him and asked for his signature, mentioning how much he loved watching the show. According to Wyle, Murphy just looked at him and asked what he was doing up that late. Wyle remembered laughing nervously before asking for the autograph one more time. Instead of signing, Murphy told the nine-year-old to "f--- off, man." Wyle recently shared the memory on a podcast, explaining that he holds no grudges today. He pointed out that Murphy was likely just a teenager or in his early twenties navigating sudden fame at the time. But the harsh rejection left a lasting impact on his own career. Because of that moment, Wyle says he now signs autographs for nine-year-olds as fast as he can. But the story did not end there. Last year, Wyle’s ten-year-old daughter decided to finally get her dad what he always wanted. She printed out a picture of the comedian and faked a signature, writing, "Dear Noah, you're a great kid." She even accidentally misspelled the name as "E-d-d-y." She handed it to her dad, inventing a sweet story about running into the star. Wyle now has the fake autograph proudly framed in his office, calling it the greatest birthday gift he has ever received.
