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.

“I went out and I heard Herbie Hancock’s Rockit playing in front of all my classmates,” Wyle recalled. “And I attempted the worm and I got into some kind of inverted position and it all collapsed on me.”

So while he would have loved to have shown the same type of enthusiasm for Hudson’s Spirit Tunnel, he said “nobody needs to see that.” Wyle threw out that he might attempt to “babystep it.”

Hudson was understanding.

“We’re just happy to have you here,” she said.

Wyle is not the only guest to have gone their own way.
