Chris Noth is leaving Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Jeff Goldblum is joining the USA Network series as the new co-lead alongside Vincent D’Onofrio. The two will be spitting starring duties throughout the season the way D’Onofrio did with Noth in the past three years. This was Noth’s second stint on the Law & Order franchise as Detective Mike Logan. He originated the role on the original series from 1990-95. Law & Order: CI, which migrated from NBC to USA last year, was recently renewed by the cable network for a 16-episode eighth season. The Wolf Films/NBCU Cable Studio series will continue to get a second airing on NBC.
