He is known for his television roles as NYPD Detective Mike Logan on Law & Order (1990–95), Big on Sex and the City (1998–2004), and Peter Florrick on The Good Wife (2009–16). He reprised his role of Mike Logan on Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2005–08), and reprised his role of Mr Big in the films, Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010). He was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor on Television for Sex and the City in 1999 and for The Good Wife in 2010.
Early life
Noth was born on November 13, 1954, in Madison, Wisconsin,[2] the youngest son of pioneering news reporter Jeanne Parr.[3] Parr was one of the first female correspondents for CBS News and host of her own CBS talk show The Jeanne Parr Show who went on to produce documentaries, author a book about the wives of star athletes, and run her own communications consultancy.[4][5][6] His father was Charles James Noth, a marketing-company vice-president[7] and insurance agent[8] who was a decorated naval aviator Ensign in World War II and served on the USS Antietam (CV-36) during the Korean War.[3][6] Charles came from a wealthy family in Chicago and his mother had Irish ancestry that traces back to Knockbride in Cavan County.[3][9] Noth has two older brothers, attorney Charles James Noth II and therapist Michael Parr Noth.[6]
Noth's family settled in Stamford, Connecticut when he was five as Parr went to be a weather reporter at a television station in New Haven, Connecticut.[5][10] Noth grew up in Connecticut while his parents worked in New York City.[11] Throughout his childhood he also travelled the world with Parr while she was on assignment.[10][12] His parents separated when he was 9 or 10 and his father died in a car accident in 1966 when he was 11.[3][7] According to Noth, "losing my father left a crater in my life" and he found father figures in many teachers and certain friends of his mother's.[13] Reflecting on his father, Noth said, "in those days they all drank and smoke. I grew up in a cloud of smoke."[13] He thought his father was negatively affected by the Korean War and "he was a drinker and it was hard as a kid to see my dad not actualize his dreams and be affected psychologically as he was by alcohol."[14] North Stamford's idyllic, rural environment was gone by 1967 due to suburbanization[15] and drugs became popular among the youth there in the late 1960s.[16] While Parr was often working as a CBS news reporter in New York during the 1960s, Noth often got into trouble.[2][17] He was into vandalism[10][17] e.g. taking down street signs,[18] and was smoking marijuana[19] and driving at a very young age.[17] During a brief second marriage, Parr left CBS and moved the family to southern California in the fall of 1969, returning to New York and CBS in the early 1970s.[6][13] California was such a culture shock to Noth that he started taking LSD with friends at age 15, once walking into someone else's house in Newport Beach while high and jumping naked off their pier into the water.[20]
After Noth took a neighbor's car for a joyride and it rolled into another neighbor's house, Parr's antidote was to send him to an all-boys boarding school (Storm King School) for high school.[2][17][21] However, Noth persuaded her to let him attend an experimental coed school called The Barlow School in Dutchess County, New York instead.[10][11][17] Poet-dissenter Peter Kane Dufault taught American history at the small, progressive boarding school, wanting students who might be drafted to understand how America "got to the point where we were incinerating villages in Southeast Asia."[22][23] Noth said Dufault was best teacher he ever had, "He opened up a way of life to me, a life of the imagination; he showed us...how that life can be developed and explored through poetry".[22] For Noth, this school with young artist teachers "for many of us, not relating to our parents, it became our real home", and although "the academics were a little shaky",[11] this art school with no grades completely changed his life to focus on the arts, saving him from juvenile delinquency.[10][13] By 1973, he was "totally into being a hippie" with long hair.[10] After graduation, he moved to Brooklyn with his girlfriend when he was 18[24] and worked at a school for the mentally disabled before attending college the following year.[10]
Noth attended Marlboro College in Vermont originally intending to be a writer or poet.[25][26] He received a classically oriented education,[10] and studied English literature and religion.[26][27] Inspired by his studies of American transcendentalism (Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson) he built a cabin in the woods using boards from a broken-down barn and would go there to write.[28][29] He struggled with writing and doubted his ability to be a writer.[26][28] Although the college did not have a theatre department, he discovered acting after joining the repertory theatre company to get out of Latin class.[10][30][31] In his sophomore year, the rep theatre company was initiated with alumni who were well known actors in the area[32] and he first appeared on stage in the play She Stoops To Conquer where he enjoyed the audience's unexpected laughter.[25] After acting in a production of The Zoo Story by Edward Albee his goals were set on becoming a stage actor.[33] After graduation he was eager to perform in New York repertory theatre[10] but found that there was not much work for young actors in New York after he arrived in late 1978.[31][34][35] The first job he got after arriving and the only one he could get, was as a daytime bartender at the Only Child Restaurant, not realizing there was a brothel above the basement pub.[30][36] Except for some soap operas in New York, the bulk of TV and film was being produced in Hollywood.[30][37] Also feeling unprepared to audition, he wanted to study with the New York's renowned acting teachers and was accepted into the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre to study with acting teacher Sanford Meisner.[31] While studying with Meisner, he also stayed in maid's rooms for little or no money in exchange for cleaning the house on a weekly basis.[30] The school did not allow students to work in the theatre and Noth was expelled after a photo of him acting in a Manhattan Theatre Club play about an IRA bombing victim appeared in The New York Times in 1979.[10][31][38] He also studied with Stella Adler,[11][33] for script analysis.[39]
Career
Theater
After Neighborhood Playhouse, he "did off-off Broadway and was a bad waiter in a dozen different restaurants for five years."[10] He was fired from a number of restaurants, once for forgetting to return Governor Hugh Carey's credit card with the bill, and finally settled into cater-waitering bar mitzvahs and weddings.[30][31][35] He struggled financially, eating in diners and loading up at free happy hour buffets at bars made him ill, and he was once arrested for jumping a subway and bought a bike after that to save money.[13][30][40] Noth got his Actors' Equity membership while at the Circle Rep Lab.[37] In Circle Repertory Company's 1980 production of Innocent Thoughts, Harmless Intentions he played soldier James "Duke" Wade in an Alaskan army outpost in 1951–52, part of what the CS Monitor called a "convincing squad of Actors' Equity enlisted men" in a play that was "impressively acted".[41] Reading the biography of Laurence Olivier and about the English theatre in the 1940s and 1950s inspired Noth's decision to train more classically to appear in a wider variety of plays.[30][33] He auditioned for Juilliard and Yale University and was accepted by both.[42] He chose the shorter three year degree at Yale School of Drama where he got a scholarship.[30][42]
Noth acted in 25 or more plays while studying at Yale School of Drama,[2][43] attending classes during the day and acting in plays at night.[44] Noth's first-year acting project at Yale was the Maxim Gorky play The Lower Depths in 1982–1983.[31][34] Noth was also enthused about the learning Henrik Ibsen in his first year.[34] In 1984, the New York Times wrote that of the supporting cast, only Noth's and Ray Aranha's performances "leaves firm impressions" in the world premiere of the Wole Soyinka political satire A Play of Giants at Yale Repertory Theatre where Noth played the only character of integrity, a sculptor creating a portrait of African dictators gathered at an U.N. Embassy.[45] In 1985, Noth acted in Keith Reddin's Rum and Coke at Yale Repertory Theatre, a play about the orchestration of the Bay of Pigs Invasion.[46] By Noth's third year, he signed with an agent who saw him in a YSD production of Brendan Behan's The Hostage.[42] Noth was also in Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters and Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre at YSD.[47]
After graduating from Yale School of Drama with a MFA in 1985,[2] Noth told his agent he would not do television and went on the theater circuit.[25] Noth initially avoided television as at the time he was aware that television had a bad reputation for serious actors and thought he could perform in plays and possibly get a movie as a result.[42] His preference to work in theater informed his decision to live in New York instead of Los Angeles.[47] However, roles were slow to come with theater starting to be less culturally prominent and he decided he could do television to survive.[26][42]
In 1986, while working on the TV series Hill Street Blues in L.A., Noth heard that Zoe Caldwell would be directing Hamlet at the American Shakespeare Festival at Stratford, Connecticut and successfully auditioned for the title role.[44] The play was performed for student groups in the spring season that year and Noth felt the enthusiastic response of students from the inner cities to Hamlet's soliloquies made it one of his greatest experiences.[25][48] In the 1988/89 season of Milwaukee Repertory Theater he played a murderous bandit in the experimental Chilean play The Torch and thought his career was "in the toilet" when he was disparaged by five elderly women in the audience.[49][50] In April 1989, Noth played "bohemian--out of place, angry with the world" Frank Shabata in Darrah Cloud's adaption of the Willa Cather novel O Pioneers! in the Other Season at Seattle Repertory Theatre, co-produced by Women's Project.[51] He also appeared in George Bernard Shaw play Arms and the Man at the Roundabout Theatre in 1989 as Sergius Saranoff opposite Roma Downey as his fiancée. The New York Times wrote that Noth's acting "captures the strutting buffoon in the character" but lost "the more pitiable side" while CS Monitor wrote if "Noth's swaggering Sergius were any more Sergius-like, he would burst out of his uniform" in contrast to the "admirable balancing act" of Daniel Gerroll in the lead role.[52][53] Noth has acted in plays for La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club and L.A.'s Mark Taper Forum.[30]
In 1997, Noth played a brilliant opera composer who romances the wife (played by Dana Reeve) of his patron in the Romulus Linney play Patronage at Ensemble Studio Theatre's 20th Annual Festival of New One-Act Plays.[54] Backstage magazine called Patronage "the most satisfying play" of the festival[55] and The New York Times wrote "the actors are so good that they may have put more flesh on the characters than even Mr. Linney intended" and that Noth and Reeve were "amusingly synchronized as they purred in unison...to the strains of Schubert".[54] Linney became friends with Noth when they worked together on Patronage and Noth encouraged him to write a play about Delmore Schwartz[56] as Noth "is a poet himself and loves the poetry of Delmore Schwartz" according to Linney.[57] Linney discovered his friend, writer Milton Klonsky, was Schwartz's closest friend when he died and decided to write a play about the relationship between Klonsky and the doomed, alcoholic poet.[57][58] Noth performed in the 2002 staged reading of Linney's play Klonsky and Schwartz at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's annual Playwrights Conference[56] and helped workshop the play at the 2003 Last Frontier Theatre Conference where Linney received the Edward Albee Last Frontier Playwright Award.[59] In 1998, while working on Sex and the City before its TV debut, Noth did his first radio play as fortune-hunter Morris Townsend in the Voice of America production of The Heiress, an adaptation of the Henry James novel Washington Square, opposite Amy Irving in the title role.[60]
In 2000, Noth made his Theatre World Award-winning Broadway debut[61] in a revival of Gore Vidal's 1960 play The Best Man at Virginia Theatre as the conniving Senator Joseph Cantwell, a purported pillar of virtue with working-class roots vying with the upright, patrician protagonist (played by Spalding Gray) in the race for their party's presidential nomination.[49][62][63] Initial reviews complained of a tentative nature to the cast's performances with the New York Times writing the play may have been under-rehearsed.[62][63] Variety wrote that Noth "plays the role capably but without the seething edge required"[62] and the New York Times wrote Noth "never gives Cantwell the all-consuming, compulsive drive" and the "variations on Nixonian tics..have the imposed feeling of a director's suggestions."[63] A few months later the New York Times wrote the cast's performances improved significantly with Noth improving the most, having "achieved a fine balance between editorial cartoon and neurotic case study as the Nixonian man who would be president."[64] The revival went on to win a Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for outstanding revival of a play and was nominated for Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play.[65] In the 2002 premiere of Christopher Shinn's play What Didn't Happen at Playwrights Horizons, Noth's portrayal of Peter, a cynical, hard-drinking, popular novelist was described as "an enjoyably robust portrait" by the The New York Times and "an endearing, minor-key star turn" by Variety.[66][67]
In a 2005 staged reading of a revival of Gore Vidal's 1961 drama On the March to the Sea presented by Theater Previews at Duke at Duke University, Noth played Colonel Thayer who is conflicted in his role in the Civil War as he leads Union troops in Sherman's March to the Sea.[68][69] According to reviews of his portrayal, "Noth effectively conveys a jaded, command soldier tired of war, sometimes ruthless, yet often philosophical and sympathetic",[69] a contradictory character "beautifully evoked" as "fully and pitiably human" and comparable to Stanley Kowalski in his "deliberate malice"; [70] although Noth "followed the script" when it occasionally turned melodramatic.[71] Noth received glowing reviews as petty criminal "Teach" in David Mamet's play Amercan Buffalo at the 2005 Berkshire Theatre Festival.[44][72] Noth's performance was lauded for being compelling in its menace while also connecting with the play's humor.[72][73] In 2008, Noth portrayed Paul Zara, the gruff, razor sharp, veteran campaign manager in Beau Willimon's Off-Broadway debut play Farragut North staged by the Atlantic Theatre Company.[74][75] To prepare for the role, Noth spoke to veteran political operative Joe Trippi who managed the Howard Dean 2004 presidential campaign.[29] The play had it's world premiere in the week after the 2008 United States presidential election and the cast received good reviews with New York Times critic Ben Brantley writing that the play "stars the excellent John Gallagher Jr. and Chris Noth" and that he "enjoyed Mr. Noth’s weary, bluff, stiff-jointed Paul".[75][76] In 2009, Noth reprised the role in the play's acclaimed West coast debut at the Geffen Playhouse opposite Chris Pine, marking Noth's own move to Los Angeles.[77][78] The director of the film Sex and the City 2 demanded Noth lose the weight he gained for his role in the play before filming of the movie began.[79]
In 2011, Noth starred in a Broadway revival of the 1972 play That Championship Season, playing Phil Romano, a role originated by his one-time Law & Order co-star Paul Sorvino.[80] In 2019 Noth appeared with Isabelle Huppert in an Off-Broadway production of Florian Zeller's The Mother.[81]
Film and television
Noth played small parts in films, including Smithereens (1982) and Baby Boom (1987) before his first starring role in the low-budget 1988 film Peluru dan Wanita (Bullets & Women) in Indonesia. Noth joined the cast of Hill Street Blues in the sixth season in 1986, where he was billed as "Christopher Noth." He also appeared in Another World. Noth filmed a pilot for the legal/police drama series Law & Order in 1988.
In 1990, NBC began airing the Law & Order, which slowly gained recognition from critics and fans.[82] Noth was fired from the show in 1995, due largely to creative friction with series creator Dick Wolf.[83] In 1995, after he left Law & Order, Noth had a supporting role in a CBS miniseries adaptation of the Sidney Sheldon novel Nothing Lasts Forever where he and Vanessa Williams portrayed lovers who are medical residents in a San Francisco hospital.[84][85][86] Noth appeared in a 1997 episode of the TV series Touched by an Angel as a parolee who is repentant about the rape he committed.[87] In the 1997 television mini-series Rough Riders on TNT he portrayed Craig Wadsworth, a member of the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry formed by Theodore Roosevelt.[88][89] He reprised the role as Detective Logan in 1998 for the Law & Order TV movie, Exiled: A Law & Order Movie.[90]
From 1998–2004, Noth returned to prime-time television when he took the role of Carrie Bradshaw's enigmatic on-again, off-again boyfriend "Big" on HBO's Sex and the City.[91][92] The role established Noth as a romantic comedian[42] and he reprised it for the 2008 Sex and the City film and its 2010 sequel.[92] He had a small role as Helen Hunt's husband in the hit film Cast Away (2000) starring Tom Hanks.[49][93] In 2001, he played an FBI agent on a three-episode arc of Crossing Jordan, re-uniting him with Law & Order co-star Jill Hennessy.
From 2005–2008, Noth returned to the role of Mike Logan on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, joining the show in its fifth season following a guest appearance on a fourth season episode. On this spin-off of the original Law & Order, Noth's detective team alternated episodes with Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe's characters.[82][94] In the 2005 rom-com film, The Perfect Man, Noth's portrayal of the romance expert from whom Hilary Duff's lead character models a secret admirer for her mother was described as "appealing in a thinly written role" by Variety magazine.[95][96] Noth thought the film was an example some of the Hollywood movies offered to him that are "less than desirable".[17]
In the CBS series The Good Wife (2009-2016) Noth starred as Peter Florrick, disgraced (by a sex scandal) and resurrected politician husband of the title character portrayed by Julianna Margulies.[97][98] Noth was not a full-time regular on the series, leaving him time to do plays and indie films.[26][98] In 2009, Noth guest-starred as an authoritarian military man in the film My One and Only starring Renée Zellweger as woman searching for a spouse, who almost marries him.[99][100]
In 2012, Noth narrated I Didn’t Do It a 6-part crime documentary series about wrongful convictions produced by Toronto's Lively Media for Discovery Canada and Investigation Discovery[101] and portrayed tycoon J. P. Morgan, who helped finance the Titanic, in the Encore channel miniseries Titanic: Blood and Steel.[102][103] In 2013, he portrayed Anthony Romano, a financier of Deep Throat, in the movie Lovelace.[104][105] In 2014, Noth played the parasitic son-in-law of an ageing man, Fred, portrayed by Christopher Plummer in the film Elsa & Fred, with Shirley MacLaine as Elsa.[106][107] In the 2015 movie After the Ball, Noth played a head of a Montreal fashion company that steals designs, starring Portia Doubleday as his estranged daughter.[108][109]
In 2016, Noth joined the third season of the FX/Fox 21 Television Studios produced series Tyrant in the regular role of U.S. General William Cogswell who offers military support to the interim president of a fictional Middle Eastern country that is trying to start a social democracy and who has an affair with the president's sister-in-law.[19][110][111] A review of Noth's first Tyrant episode likened General Cogswell to his Peter Florrick character in the The Good Wife for also being a little too self-assured and having extramarital secrets.[111] In an interview before the episode aired, Noth said he was "pretty much done with parts that resemble Mr. Big or Peter Florrick",[112] he was turning to darker roles after years of playing (mostly) good guys on his three hit TV shows.[19] Noth portrayed a sleazy lawyer in the 2016 film White Girl starring Morgan Saylor as his client who he rapes.[113][19][114] In the 2016 film Chronically Metropolitan Noth's portrayal of a philandering professor/novelist was praised by The Hollywood Reporter for "infusing his familiar-feeling character with intriguing nuances" and as "very good" by the Los Angeles Times.[115][116]
In 2017, Noth played FBI agent Don Ackerman on the Discovery Channel's first original scripted series Manhunt: Unabomber, about the hunt for the serial killer Ted Kaczynski and was the narrator for the "Sharks and the City: New York" episode of Discovery channel's Shark Week.[117][118][119] Noth also portrayed FBI agent Frank Novak who leads a task force on abduction and missing persons in Gone, a 12-episode procedural drama produced by NBC Universal, Germay's RTL network and France's TF1, that premiered in 2017 in Australia then aired in Germany, France, and the U.K. before airing in the U.S. in 2019.[120][121][122] The New York Post wrote in its review of the show that "Noth, who’s always reliable, is fine here, but doesn’t have much to do other than set up each storyline and then bark lots of orders."[122] In 2018, Noth played the character Jack Robertson in the Doctor Who episode "Arachnids in the UK".[123][124]
Personal life
Noth is co-owner of The Cutting Room, a New York lounge and music venue that opened in late 1999, with Steve Walter.[13][125] Noth also co-owned the New York nightclub The Plumm along with a list of other celebrity investors including David Wells and Damon Dash.[126][127] Noth became majority stake owner of the Ambhar Tequila artisan tequila maker in 2018.[128]
Noth said, "I’ve had a lot of intense, crazy love affairs"[129] and that he is glad he did not get married sooner as he was "in love maybe four times before" and would "be paying four different alimonies.”[130] He remembers riding his bike in Central Park while it was snowing "with the girl that I loved madly" riding on the handle bars in 1980.[131] He "had a disastrous romantic relationship" before he decided to apply to Yale Drama School[10] and in 2000 he said, "I had a very deep relationship with an actress, not a known actress. She was probably the love of my life...right before I went to Yale".[129] He had a 3-year relationship[14] with model/actress Beverly Johnson that began in 1992[132] and ended in 1995.[133][134] In January 1996, New York Daily News reported that they broke up a year ago and a story that he used to beat her had surfaced in a supermarket tabloid. Johnson could not be reached for comment.[134] A few months later, Noth said the relationship "gave me some inner knowledge about myself and about people" and "changed my idea about what love is. So even though it was a very painful experience, it was a very enlightening one."[14] In 2009, a tabloid reported that in 1995 Johnson filed charges against Noth for abuse allegations similar to those that she was suing another ex for. Criminal charges were not brought against Noth who stated, "There is no basis to the claims Ms. Johnson made back in 1995."[135] In 2012, when asked if she was once romantically linked with Noth, she replied, "that was many years ago. I can't think back that far. But yes, he was an old boyfriend and a great guy."[136] In July 1994, she only had praise for him, saying "besides being terribly handsome and a brilliant actor, he's terrific with [my daughter] Anasa."[137] There was no abuse mentioned when she wrote about him in her 2017 memoirs.[138]
Noth began a relationship with his wife Tara Lynn Wilson,[139] a Canadian actress,[140] after meeting her in 2001 or 2002 when she was working as a bartender at The Cutting Room.[13][141] Noth recalls, "I fell over on my stool and I was about to get thrown out", then he saw her.[142] Tara recalls, "At the beginning, I’d say we broke up every two weeks. Then it was every two months. Then it was every six months." Noth said after the break ups, "Then a few weeks later I’d be like, ‘Why am I missing her so much?‘"[127] Their son, Orion Christopher, was born in January 2008 and is named after the warrior constellation. When Tara discovered she was pregnant, doctors could not detect the baby's heartbeat and expected a miscarriage. That night Tara spoke to the baby all night, and there was a heartbeat the next day.[143] The couple became co-owners of a child-friendly tea house Once Upon a Tea Cup in Windsor, Ontario, where Tara was raised,[127] and another location in London, Ontario, where Noth announced their engagement in 2009.[144] They were married on April 6, 2012.[139][145] In 2019, Tara workshoped her debut play B.R.O.K.E.N code B.I.R.D switching with Noth as an executive producer.[146] Noth announced the birth of their second son Keats in February 2020 with a quote from poet John Keats.[147]
Noth lives with his family in Los Angeles where he finds it quieter and easier to avoid photographers, while still spending time in New York.[12][13][33] He had a West Hollywood condo but moved to a house in the Sherman Oaks suburb as he could no longer walk down Sunset Strip due to paparazzi.[140][148] He owns a pre-war apartment in Greenwich Village that he had since 1994[36] and another in a Lenox Hill co-op since 2017.[149] The family spends at least three months of the year at their summer house in the Berkshires on the edge of Great Barrington, Massachusetts.[12][13][148]
