Say it ain't so. Handsome hunk Chris Noth who portrays Dectective Mike Logan in the gritty drama series "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" will be leaving the show after just 3 seasons.
Fans of Law & Order are familiar with Mr. Noth as this is where his Det. Logan character first originated back in 1990. Mr. Noth had been with the show for 5 years before he moved onto to other things. Whether his reasons for leaving were of a personal nature or just creative differences the show lost an integral part of the cast.
Jump ahead to 2005 and Mr. Noth reprises the character role of Det. Mike Logan in the spin-off series Law & Order: CI. Sadly his reintroduction into the series was to be short lived. While I like Vincent D'Onofrio( Det. Goren) and Kathryn Erbe(Det. Eames) they just don't bring the same something! something! (hard to define) to their characters as Chris Noth does to his Det. Mike Logan character who will be sorely missed.
*Note: Actor Jeff Goldblum who has starred in such hit films as The Big Chill, The Fly and Jurassic Park to name a few has been tapped to replace the outgoing Chris Noth. He will co-share the lead with Vincent D'Onofrio as did Mr. Noth. There is no word yet as to the name of the character Mr. Goldblum will play.
