Birth Name:
Christopher David Noth
AKA:
Christopher Noth
Chris Noth was born in Madison, Wisconsin on 13 November 1954. In his youth, he traveled and lived in England, Yugoslavia, and Spain but never stayed in the same place for too long. Chris studied with Sanford Meisner before attending the Yale School of Drama.

The first time Chris Noth was noticed was in the movie Off Beat in which he played a minor role as Ely Wareham Jr. (the screen brother of Meg Tilly's character). Noth played bit parts for the next four years such as

and the TV mini-series I'll Take Manhattan both in 1987, until Wolf Productions offered him a feature role in the TV series Law & Order. Noth played Detective Mike Logan from the summer of '89 to the summer of '95. Noth made this role his own and played it to the brilliance of any great actor. The character Det. Mike Logan is a young cop who is hailed as the "soul" of the series. Through the years, the character Logan was to become a very strong presence due to the talented Noth and the the great story lines in which Logan got into a number of close calls.

Noth was aided by a great cast of characters which included George Dzundza (season one), Paul Sorvino (season two and three), Michael Moriarty (season one to four), Richard Brooks (season one to three), Dann Florek (season one to three), Jill Hennessy (season four to six), and Steven Hill (season one to present). Many characters came and went while Noth starred in Law & Order, but at its peak in season two and three, Noth seemed at home in his role. Chris Noth's and Paul Sorvino's intimidating appearance, (each standing at 6'4" inches tall) made them an excellent "Batman and Robin" partnership together.

In 1995, Noth's contract was not renewed. This came as a shock to fans of the series as they saw the "heart" (Moriarty) forced out over TV violence and now the "soul". Noth continued to work in movies as well as TV, and in 1996 he starred in the successful TV movie Abducted: A Father's Love (which also starred Peter MacNicol) and in 1998 he became a regular on the smash hit series Sex and the City.

    Chris Noth is such an underrated comedic actor. He has also done quite a lot of dramatic work as well, but mostly on television. He has been in a ton of movies, though not always as the star, but in each picture, he delivers a great, almost off-beat performance. Of all his movies, my favorite was "Mr. 3000."

    Chris Noth aka Detective Mike Logan and Mr. Big hide show

    I first seen Chris Noth on Law and Order as Detective Mike Logan and from the beginning I have thought he was a great actor. When his contract with Law and Order was not renewed I felt they had made a very bad choice. It was 1998 before I was able to see Chris Noth portray Mr. Big on Sex and the City as Carrie Bradshaw's boyfriend. He was so hot on that show also and really done justice to his role as Mr. Big.
    I was also pleased to see him in the movie Cast Away with Tom Hanks and then later on in The Perfect Man with Heather Locklear and Hillary Duff. I have recently seen him reprise the role of Detective Mike Logan on Law and Order Criminal Intent and hope to see more of the very charming and handsome Chris Noth.

    He´s one of the most hottest man in TV hide show

    I´ve loved him since Jakarta! This was a great film about a big love between east and west and that shows who talented he is! He´s one of the best actors in die world and he´s intelligent enough to take only the good films and not only the commercials in Hollywood! I love him for Mr Big too. Itch to hitch? In Touch magazine has an early line on the plot of the yet-to-be-filmed "Sex and the City" movie, which will star original cast members Kristin Davis, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Sarah Jessica Parker. The magazine quotes an insider as saying the movie, to be filmed in Manhat tan, will focus on Carrie's (Parker) wedding to Mr. Big (Chris Noth). The movie begins with Carrie living in California, Samantha (Cattrall) in Europe, Charlotte (Davis)in suburban Connecticut and Miranda in Brooklyn. They (sup posedly)reunite in Manhattan to help plan Carrie's wedding. I hope this will be true, because I can´t wait to see Mr Big again.

    Chris Noth is so good-looking and I think he´s like a great wine :-) The older he is, the better he will be! He´s over 50, but he has so much charisma. He´s so hot with his gorgeous green eyes and his dark brown hair, but he REALLY NEEDS someone to dress him! I've noticed his questionable taste in private clothing and I want to be the first to volunteer for the position as his "dresser" (or if I get real lucky, his "undresser").

    Chris Noth comes across as a strong and forcefull character but yet he is tender deep down, and you can see it in his eyes. Chris shows alot of emotion in his eyes. I like to watch his facial expressions and his eyes. I think that the show should show more face shots of Chris to do his acting justice. He is extremely talented and if he is as gentle and kind as he acts ,he is the man of my dreams. I am 45, 5'5", 120lbs. waiting for the man of my dreams. Oh, I have a husband I have to get rid of. Chris you are the most!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My all time favorite star! TV or Movies, my favorite. hide show

    OK, I think the Chris is not only a great actor and versable, but all around great guy. he doesn't ahve a big head like most stars to and he would excels at anything even big hollywood movies, even on stage and broadway his is loved. Maybe it is the fact he is more private and down to earth than most stars. He owns he is club in New York and deticates a lot of stage time there to upcoming bands. I have loved everyone of his charectors from the first time I saw him in the orginal Law and Order...to "Mr. Big" (Sex and the City)and stage acting. And yes the fact he is from Wisconsin just makes him more real instead of from L.A. or blah blah. Of course he is goregous and has the sexiest voice as well. But if you honestly watched him play any role you would apperciate what a great actor he is. And looking into those eyes doesn't hurt either!
