Mr. Big

Infuriating and intoxicating from the very first episode, this devilishly handsome man-about-town dangles the L-word in front of Carrie Bradshaw like candy. “I get it, you’ve never been in love,” he tells her, making it seem like he’s open to the proposition. Yet Carrie spends the next six seasons looking for reassurance from Big that they really are the real thing, sparkle and all. Hopeless romantics the world over swooned when Big finally came to his senses and Carrie got her happy ending.

Chris Noth, 64, co-owns The Cutting Room, a live music venue in NYC. His most memorable roles since SATC were playing Peter Florrick on The Good Wife and Detective Mike Logan on Law & Order. He currently stars as Frank Novak in the series Gone. He is husband to Tara Wilson and father to their son, Orion, 11.

Aidan Shaw

“He was warm, masculine, classic American, just like his furniture,” is how Carrie describes him the day they met in his downtown store. When he draws her a bubble bath with candles and opera music, it’s obvious: Aidan is bona fide boyfriend material. Can we picture Big ever being this thoughtful? Of course, Big pops back into the picture at the wrong time. When Carrie confesses her affair, we respect Aidan as he admits this isn’t the kind of thing he can get over. He does — and puts on a ring on it — only for Carrie to back out. Then they reunite in the second SATC movie. Talk about a twisted romance!

John Corbett, 58, starred in My Big Fat Greek Wedding and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, as well as Raising Helen and I Hate Valentine’s Day, and had recurring roles on United States of Tara, Parenthood and Portlandia. A country crooner, he released two albums and has lived the ranching life with 10 sexpot Bo Derek since 2002.

Jack Berger

We wanted it to work out for Carrie and her quippy male equivalent. He’s the first guy who can hang with her friends, and feels so in sync with Carrie’s crew that he tells her, “I love you” after his first night out with her gang. But they suck in the sack, and Jack plays the victim the second he feels criticized. But the real elephant in this room is Carrie’s career. No amount of Hollywood kisses can hide the fact that she’s out-earning him as a writer. Well, we know where this relationship ends: on a postcoital Post-It.

Ron Livingston, 52, has since appeared in The Conjuring, Drinking Buddies and The Time Traveler’s Wife, and has roles on TV’s A Million Little Things, Boardwalk Empire, Loudermilk, The Romanoffs and Search Party. He adopted daughters Gracie, 6, and Esperanza, 3, with his actress wife, Rosemarie DeWitt.

Aleksandr Petrovsky

He’s a brilliant artist, a Studio 54 legend, still has his hair and is Google-worthy. There’s just one problem: Aleksandr and Carrie don’t understand each other. Literally. Carrie can’t pronounce his name, and he has trouble getting her humor (“You are a comic?”). Aleksandr is also underwhelmed by Carrie’s career, and when she meets his friends — and vice versa — it’s ice, ice, baby! We could see a Cold War coming a mile away.

Mikhail Baryshnikov, 71, is one of the greatest ballet dancers of the 20th century, has appeared in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and as himself in the TV series Doll & Em. He is currently Artistic Director of The Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York City.

Richard Wright

Smooth as the leather seats on his private plane, hotel magnate Richard Wright’s chemistry with Samantha Jones is red hot, whether they’re skinny-dipping at night on a rooftop pool or slow dancing in bathrobes to Sade’s “By Your Side.” Sam falls hard and hands him her heart on a platter (OK, a painting), which he doesn’t hang. Richard agrees to be exclusive, but a suspicious Samantha goes into spy mode and catches him between another woman’s legs. At least she parlays their parting of ways into something more constructive by borrowing his Hamptons house!

James Remar, 65, played Dexter’s father in Dexter and Giuseppe Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries. He stars in the CW’s Black Lightning and is also known for his voice-overs, including in Justice League Unlimited. His partner is Yuka Kojima.

Smith Jerrod

The night Samantha lays eyes on her Adonis waiter, she slurps down bowl after bowl of raw food mush before whipping through the Kama Sutra with him like it’s an Olympic sport. Despite her best efforts to keep him as a fling, Smith gets serious. Sam cheats on Smith with Richard, but loyal Smith is waiting for her in the lobby, ready to forgive. If that isn’t amazing enough, his response is “Let me be there for you” when Samantha gets breast cancer. But ultimately, she chooses to go it alone. In the second film, the two remain friends, and their mutual adoration is absolutely there.

Jason Lewis, 48, has appeared in movies like The Jacket and Half Magic and plays fallen angel Joe Strong in the supernatural drama Midnight, Texas. He is often spotted with his gal pal, model Liz Godwin.

Trey MacDougal

Dashing, gentlemanly and monied — Trey is everything Charlotte York has always wished for. Too bad Charlotte waits until the night before her wedding to realize Trey’s John Thomas deflates at game time. But she soldiers on, despite his lack of libido and fascination with Juggs. Life looks picture-perfect until Charlotte learns her chances of conceiving are slim and Trey reveals he doesn’t want his life unraveled by kids and he’s anti-adoption. Then there’s that unspeakable cardboard baby.

Golden Globe-winner Kyle MacLachlan, 60, reprised his iconic role of Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks: The Return and has starred in Desperate Housewives, Portlandia, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He co-owns a wine label and is father to son Callum, 11, with wife Desiree Gruber.

Harry Goldenblatt

Balding divorce lawyer Harry busts into Charlotte’s life like a bull in a china shop and literally leaves his mark from the get-go. When he whispers her name with the hysteria of a horny schoolboy, Charlotte obeys her animal instincts and winds up having the sex of her life. The Bachelorette and the Beast become a couple, and it’s dreamy until he drops an H-bomb: He can’t marry her because she’s not Jewish. Charlotte converts. They survive a disastrous wedding ceremony — and later, a miscarriage and adoption woes. As Harry would say, “What are you gonna do?”

Evan Handler, 58, has appeared in American Crime Story, The Astronaut’s Wives Club, Power, The Good Fight, The Breaks and Californication, where he played Charlie Runkle, pal to SATC guest star David Duchovny. He is husband to Elisa Atti and father to Sofia, 12.

Steve Brady

While this rough around the edges bartender may be cursed with a squeaky voice and an affinity for Scooby-Doo, Steve has a straightforward, sincere way of communicating — all with that endearing trademark smirk. Despite their differences, he and Miranda Hobbes navigate their way through a slew of tough moments, from testicular cancer to pregnancy and job stress. Steve is there with Miranda through thick and thin. Our favorite Steve moment comes in season 2, when he calls at 2 a.m. to ask her to look out her window. “A blue moon, it’s really rare, just wanted you to see it,” he says. Can’t argue with that, Steve.

David Eigenberg, 55, a former Marine (wow!), has appeared in multiple episodes of popular shows like Castle, NCIS, Everwood and Without a Trace and played Christopher Herrmann from 2012 to 2019 in Chicago Fire. He is father to son Louie, 10, and daughter Myrna, 5, with wife Chrysti.

Blair Underwood Robert Leeds Sex and the City Where Are They Now

Dr. Robert Leeds

He’s a sexy, emotionally available doctor for the Knicks who makes enchiladas — and sets the table. “He’s perfect,” is Miranda’s assessment to her co-op board to green-light him into the building. Before long they’re in the bedroom, and when Steve accidentally barges in on the action and bashes his nose, Robert handles it like a pro: with a tampon. But Miranda still loves Steve, and even the biggest I Love You cookie in the world can’t change that.

Blair Underwood, 54, has appeared in numerous series since SATC, including Quantico, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and In Treatment. He also starred in Madea’s Family Reunion and The Trip to Bountiful, for which he won the NAACP Image Award. He is father to Paris, 21, Brielle, 19, and Blake, 17, with wife Desiree DaCosta.
