‘Law & Order’: Here’s What Led to Chris Noth Exiting the Show By #SuzanneHalliburton As @law__and__order__ gears up for a revival, it’s worth glancing at the crime procedural’s past to see how it became one of the most popular series on TV. Think back to 1990, when NBC first introduced #LawAndOrder. Here’s the original cast: @ChrisNothofficial, George Dzundza, Dann Florek, Stephen Hill, Michael Moriarty and Richard Brooks. The breakout star was Noth, who portrayed junior detective #MikeLogan. Of the original cast, only Hill stuck around Law & Order longer than Noth. And after five seasons, Noth finally made his exit. Why? Law & Order couldn’t afford Noth anymore. This was 1995 and by this time, Noth’s Logan partnered with Jerry Orbach’s Lennie Briscoe. “This is one of the toughest decisions you’ve got to make as a producer,″ said Law & Order creator Dick Wolf. “I want to emphasize that Chris has done a spectacular job this year. He’s never been better.″ Granner's note: thankfully, Noth.returned to join the cast of #lawandordercriminalintent @vincentdonofrio @kathrynerbe @aliciawitty but then when #CriminalIntent was sent to purgatory on @usa_network we again lost #DetMikeLogan, alrho in a more appropriate & fitting farewell, similar to what many of us cops go thru, crisis of faith, conscience & questioning the system. It was a better,.more appropriate departure for Det Logan than his first one. I am sure I speak for many fans when I say an appearance by Det Logan as a Defense Attorney or similar person, would be very welcome.
