Fans of “Sex and the City” may do a double-take when they see James Remar, the actor who played Richard Wright, the character who deeply affected Samantha Jones. Remar, now 71, is taking on a new TV role that showcases a completely different side of him.
Two decades after his memorable portrayal in “Sex and the City,” James Remar has transitioned from playing a business tycoon in Manhattan to a character in the legal drama “All’s Fair,” produced by Kim Kardashian. This new show has stirred up a lot of controversy since its release in 2025.
In “All’s Fair,” Remar portrays Theodore Baskin, the emotionally distant husband of Judith Light’s character Sheila, whose marriage unravels due to feelings of neglect. The series, created by Ryan Murphy, features a star-studded cast including Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Glenn Close, and Teyana Taylor, focusing on a team of female divorce lawyers breaking away from a male-dominated firm.
Despite its impressive cast, “All’s Fair” has faced harsh criticism, receiving a rare 0 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, this negative feedback has only piqued the interest of the audience, leading to a surge in viewership numbers.
In a triumphant tone, Kim Kardashian highlighted the show’s success on social media platforms, boasting about its popularity and high viewership across various countries.
James Remar has previously expressed his disappointment over the end of his character’s storyline in “Sex and the City,” citing his chemistry with Samantha. Despite this setback, Remar has found success in other projects, including the highly anticipated horror series “Welcome to Derry,” a prequel to “It,” where he will appear alongside a talented cast.
The horror series, set in the 1960s, promises a chilling experience for viewers with its intense scenes and skilled actors, including Remar himself reprising a role in the series.
