 Chris Noth
Interview By: Rocco Passafuime Chances are, when your typical woman hears the name Chris Noth, you’re most likely to go, ‘Hmm?’ than ‘Mmm’. But when she hears that person go by the name of Mr. Big, then she instantly melts into oblivion. Actor Chris Noth has been known best by the latter name for six years as Carrie Bradshaw’s love interest on the perennial HBO TV comedy Sex In The City. Now he returns to his pivotal role in the long-awaited film follow-up to the hit TV series. When the now-53-year old actor received the word that the long-brimming Sex And The City movie was indeed to be greenlighted, there was no doubt whatsoever after he saw the script, penned by longtime series writer Michael Patrick King. “Yeah, it was easy,” Noth remarks, “Because the writing was uplifting and I thought it was the perfect transition to the big screen and it needed the big screen to articulate this particular canvas. It was a bigger story.

My favorite story ever is I was doing Criminal Intent out near Coney Island and we were doing a driving scene in a car and we were holding up traffic. We’re in a particular light and there was a big four-wheeler that we were holding up to get the shot. In the middle of the shot, this guy, forget about it, I’m done waiting, he went through the light and cut across where my car is stopped.” “Now I’m looking up, I see the guy roll down the window, sticks his head out, and I’m expecting, ‘You piece of crap!’” he continues, “You know, ‘Hate you, hate your show!’ He’s keeping me waiting. He rolls down the window and goes, ‘When are you going to marry Carrie?!’ This big burly truck driver, and then, drives away. It was pretty funny.” Chris also notes that that kind of excitement, plus the four year gap between the series finale and the film proved to be worthy in rejuvenating the show’s creative ... |
