Chris Noth


I've been going through somewhat of a dry spell recently regarding autographs...but hallelujah! The spell is over! Received a nice reply from Mr. Big himself, Chris Noth, who is appearing on Broadway as a member of the star-studded cast of "That Championship Season."

Chris is probably best known for his great role as Detective Mike Logan on "Law & Order" or as Mr. Big on "Sex and the City" (John James Preston as he's known in the movies).  I absolutely loved that show and the movies were just as great.  These days, he can be seen as Peter Florrick on one of my new favorites, "The Good Wife."  It's such a compelling drama and with such names as Julianna Margulies, Christine Baranski, Alan Cumming and Mr. Noth (obviously), how can you NOT love it?! If you haven't given it a viewing, I highly suggest you do.

I sent my request via the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on March 21 and received it back -- get ready for this -- TEN DAYS later. Incredible! The play is set to close at the end of May and I'm thrilled to add another signed photo of Mr. Noth to my collection.

I also received two signed photos from screen legend Christopher Plummer, but they were smeared beyond repair, so I might resend and explain my predicament.

Paul Whitehouse


Received a reply from voice actor Paul Whitehouse (the March Hare in Tim Burton's "Alice In Wonderland") almost a year after sending my request to the UK. So glad I heard back from Mr. Whitehouse, though. This is now the third success I've received from voice actors in "Alice In Wonderland," including Barbara Windsor (the Dormouse) and Michael Sheen (the White Rabbit). I asked Mr. Whitehouse to include a signed photo of himself in addition to my March Hare photo, so it was cool to receive that, too.
