The creator of the hit series 'Sex and the City,' Darren Star, has revealed that actor Alec Baldwin was his first choice for the role of Carrie Bradshaw's (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) love interest, Mr Big.

Star added that Chris Noth, who actually played Mr. Big, was good as he brought "persona to the role," reports Channel 24.

"I don't really watch Law & Order, but I met with Chris Noth and thought he was perfect. I remember the first table read, how good he was," he stated.

John Corbett too was not the first choice to play Aidan Shaw, instead the director had Aidan Quinn in his mind for the role.

 

Even the name of the character 'Aidan' was given keeping Aidan Quinn in mind.
