Chris Noth Out, Jeff Goldblum In L&O Criminal Intent
The revolving door of Law & Order universe rotates again. Producers of Law & Order: Criminal Intent announced Chris Noth is leaving and Jeff Goldblum will be joining the show. Producers and Noth describe the decision as mutual.
Executive producer Dick Wolf said, "Chris has been a member of the 'Law & Order' family since the beginning, and Mike Logan is one of the most popular detectives in the history of television." And Noth told the Post, "I've been in the 'Law & Order' franchise a long time. Let's just say I've pretty much squeezed all the juice out of that role... I'm gonna miss everyone I work with every day."
As in previous seasons, Noth's Mike Logan and Vincent D'Onofrio's Robert Goren split up the episodes; apparently there are only two more Mike Logan episodes left. As for Goldblum, he will start this fall. Wolf said, "Jeff's presence will add a new dimension to an already successful show." Some hope the new dimension will be a drunk one.

I've been thinking for a while now that I could use more Jeff Goldblum in my life...

In his last TV series gig Raines he played a LAPD cop that saw dead people (sort of). The show only lasted a couple of episodes, but it wasn't bad. So hopefully he'll do pretty good in the L&O CI role.

Have you ever seen the fly? I can't even begin to imagine the fear he will strike into criminal's hearts.

I liked my old room mate Michael Moriarty in
that role.
He is a good singer and Dick Wolf should have
used that talent then we could have had our own
"Singing detective".

He's looking more like a Vulcan in his old age.

Man, I hope he can figure out how to play something other than a nerd.

Omfg... I have waited for this day for a long time... Jeff Goldblum has needed a starring role in a television show for awhile and Law & Order is perfect. I only watch Criminal Intent for the non-Dnofrio episodes, so WIN WIN.

If Law&Order ever has a killer dinosaur episode, the Jeff is just the guy to trick them in to confessing.
