Chris Noth has made his last appearance on The Equalizer after being dropped from the series altogether last month.
The actor, 67, played the recurring role of detective William Bishop in the CBS drama which stars Queen Latifah, however, Noth was axed from the show after a string of sexual assault allegations were brought to light in December.
In the latest episode of the spy thriller, Bishop’s final moment on-screen showed him having a tender moment with his old friend Robyn McCall (Latifah) before a song closed out the episode.
According to Deadline, not much is known over how the show will address Noth’s departure but explained his character doesn’t need a big send-off.
The crime-fiction series, which is produced by Universal Television in association with CBS Television Studios, wrote a short statement which said: ‘Chris Noth will no longer film additional episodes of The Equalizer, effective immediately.’
Noth, who played Carrie Bradshaw’s husband Mr Big in Sex and The City, has denied allegations of sexual assault by several women and branded the claims as ‘categorically false’.
Co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis, who played Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte in the hit US show said they were ‘deeply saddened’ by the allegations made but ‘support the women’ who shared their experiences.
A source told Us Weekly that Parker was ‘blindsided’ by the accusations and is still ‘processing’ them.
Law and Order actress Zoe Lister-Jones accused Noth of being ‘sexually inappropriate’ in her place of work, which was a bar he owned, and on the set of the legal drama in which he starred from 1990 to 1995.
After several women came forward about the star, Noth was also dropped by his talent agency, A3 Artists Agency with a spokesperson confirming to Metro.co.uk that he was ‘no longer a client.’
