A new police drama, Law and Order, premiered on Sept. 13th, 1990. Which actors portrayed the first two detectives?

Law & Order is an American police procedural and legal drama television series, created by Dick Wolf and part of the Law & Order franchise. It originally aired on NBC and, in syndication, on various cable networks. Law & Order premiered on September 13, 1990, and completed its 20th and final season on May 24, 2010. At the time of its cancellation, Law & Order was the longest-running crime drama on American primetime television. Its record of 20 seasons is a tie with Gunsmoke (1955–75) for the longest-running live-action scripted American prime-time series with ongoing characters. Although it has fewer episodes than Gunsmoke, Law & Order ranks as the longest-running hour-long primetime TV series. Gunsmoke, for its first six seasons, was originally a half-hour program.

George Dzundza portrayed Max Greevey as the senior detective for the first season only. Chris Noth was a junior detective in seasons one through five. You might remember Chris Noth as Mr. Big on the series Sex in the City. Or you might remember that ugly brown leather jacket he wore as detective Mike Logan. Wardrobe didn't provide it. It was hanging in his closet at home.
