Noth Regrets Law & Order Return

15 June 2010

SEX & The City star Chris Noth regrets returning to the LAW & ORDER TV franchise to replace exhausted VINCENT D'ONOFRIO - because the show killed his creativity.

Noth reprised his Mike Logan character in 2005 for three seasons on Law & Order: Criminal Intent and now admits the lengthy return to the cop drama was a mistake.

He tells Cigar Aficionado magazine, "I never really believed I fit in that show. I did it because the deal was so good and I didn't have to do every episode (and) Vince needed a break.

"We did some good shows. We had a good crew and I liked the people. But I don't want to do something that's just comfort food.

"Those procedurals (shows) lull you into a certain state because they all look the same and they're death to the creative process for an actor."

	This guy has to be the biggest hypocritical asshole on the face of the earth. He hated L&O, left and said he'd never come back. Oops, wait a second - he did. He said he hated SATC because everyone was calling him Big and pointing at him when he was out in public. He said he'd NEVER play Big again. Well, he did - in two movies and now all of a sudden he'd be THRILLED if they make another SATC movie. He's so unable to make up his mind he can't even get around to marrying the woman he still refers to as his "girlfriend" after being with her for 5 years, fathering a child with her and becoming engaged to her. I hope she's not holding her breath waiting for him to make up his mind because he'll change it when the wind changes.
