Chris Noth was such a big part of the original series "Law & Order" and he was indeed my favorite actor on the show! After becoming world renowned on "Sex and the City" he has returned to "Law & Order" by way of the compelling spin off series "Law & Order Criminal Intent". I like the episodes that he stars in, I am not all that crazy about the episodes that those other two people are in (Ha Ha!!). "Law & Order" will probably be the longest running prime time series in the whole history of television. I definitely can fathom all of the "Law & Order" television show's appeal!! Chris Meloni is extremely convincing in "Law & Order Criminal Intent". I do feel that Chris Noth has been an integral part of the success behind "Law & Order" and "Law & Order Criminal Intent"!! This string of "Law & Order" television shows has revolutionized the small screen in terms of how the average American perceives justice and criminal activity in New York City. Budget restraints are what determine a verdict of innocent or guilty. Plea bargaining becomes the necessary evil which placates all parties concerned! Chris Noth has always played a tough guy, and has always been very believable at doing so too! I strongly recommend seeing the television show "Law & Order Criminal Intent" and Chris Noth is a big reason why!!
