Jeff Goldblum has joined "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," replacing Chris Noth, who is leaving the crime drama after three seasons.
Goldblum, whose salary is said to be in the neighborhood of $250,000 an episode, will split starring duties with co-lead Vincent D'Onofrio the way D'Onofrio did with Noth.
"Jeff's presence will add a new dimension to an already successful show," "Law & Order" chief Dick Wolf said.
This was Noth's second tour of duty on the "Law & Order" franchise as Detective Mike Logan. He originated the role in the first five seasons of the mothership series.
"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," Wolf said. "We all wish him the best."
"Law & Order: CI," which migrated from NBC to USA last year, recently was renewed by the cable network for an 16-episode eighth season. The Wolf Films/NBCU Cable Studio series gets a second window on NBC.
Goldblum is coming off a starring turn on the stage opposite Kevin Spacey in the London production of David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow."
Goldblum, repped by Gersh and Industry Entertainment, next will be seen on the big screen in "Adam Resurrected."

Jeff Goldblum is one of my favorites and I think he's pretty underrated, IMO.
I don't know how well the L&O: CI audience will take to him being that he's very "quirky" compared to Noth. I like all the L&O shows, but I realize I'm not in the L&O demographic. It was sad that Raines (an OK show that made it really good because of Goldblum) didn't last longer, but this will probably give him a longer chance at perfecting his "quirky" detective role.

Are they naming the detective after the actor?
The heading has a character name of Mike Logan instead of Chris Noth and then it has Jeff Goldblum...
I think Noth is tired of playing the same role.
