Noth, 70, has a penchant for playing polarizing characters. Besides Mr. Big, who swung between being Carrie’s perfect partner and being terrified of commitment, he also played Peter Florrick, a disgraced former state attorney, on “The Good Wife.” He also played a cop on “Law and Order: Criminal Intent” from 1990 to 1995, and reprised his role from 2005 to 2008.
Noth starred on NBC’s FBI procedural “Gone” until 2018, and he also appeared in the Discovery Channel’s miniseries about the true story of the Unabomber, called “Manhunt: Unabomber.” He most recently starred in “The Equalizer,” a reimagining of the ’80s show of the same name.
Spoiler: In the premiere of “And Just Like That,” Big dies from a heart attack after riding a Peleton exercise bike. His death hit Carrie and fans of the show hard, and even inspired Peloton to create its own ad referencing the character’s death.
In December 2021, Noth was accused of sexual assault by two women, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The women, who do not know each other, said they spoke up because promotions of the reboot had “stirred painful memories of incidents” for them, the THR article said. In a statement to Business Insider that month, Noth denied the allegations.
In December 2022, a year since the reports first emerged, Page Six reported that Noth had not been charged in connection with any of the allegations, and no civil actions had been brought.
Since then, Noth has been accused by three more women — he’s called the accusations “categorically false” — and was written off “The Equalizer” and the first season finale of “And Just Like That,” and dropped by his talent agency.
After a few years away from the industry, Noth is back. He’s set to costar in a thriller called “The Block,” per Deadline. He also found new representation.
