Chris Noth, most noted for his role of Mr. Big in ‘Sex and the City’, has resigned from his hit cop drama ‘Law and Order: Criminal Intent’ after three seasons playing Detective Mike Logan.
In a statement announcing his resignation, Noth said he was leaving the show on amicable terms.
“When others couldn’t get television shows produced in New York, Dick Wolf found a way to do it, and as a New Yorker I truly appreciate all that he has done for the city,” he said.
“The last few years have been fantastic, and both sides are happy with the result. All’s well that ends well.”
Noth was one of the original cast on tthe original ‘Law & Order” series on NBC from 1990 to 1995.
He will be replaced on screen by film actor Jeff Goldblum, star of ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Independence Day’. “Jeff’s presence will add a new dimension to an already successful show,” said series creator Dick Wolf.
