John Corbett as Aidan Shaw on Sex and the City

John Corbett (May 9, 1961 in Wheeling, West Virginia) is an American actor who has co-starred in two successful television series to date: Northern Exposure from 1990 to 1995 and Sex and the City (spanning 20 episodes from 2001 to 2002).

In addition, he starred in two short-lived television series. The first was a 1997 sci-fi series entitled The Visitor. John Corbett starred as Adam MacArthur, a man abducted by aliens only to find his way home 50 years later with unearthly powers. He travelled the U.S. trying to right the Earth's wrongs while being chased by government agents.

In 2003, he starred in his second series entitled Lucky, which was about a professional poker player, Michael 'Lucky' Linkletter, living in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, this show was put on air before the current poker fad took off, and it was not renewed for a second season – despite critical acclaim and a loyal following.

Important movies credits include the hit comedy movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002), Raising Helen (2004), and Bigger Than the Sky (2005).

His first major role was as the hippie boyfriend of Karen Arnold in season 1 episode 4 "Angel" of The Wonder Years in 1988.

His character, Aiden, from Sex and the City, is highly regarded as one of the most gentlemanly male characters ever to grace the small screen.

He currently lives with his girlfriend Bo Derek in the Santa Ynez Valley, California.

In an interview with Conan O'Brien, he claimed that he lost his virginity at age 21.

His first full length album was released on April 4, 2006. Among the songs is his version of "Good to Go," for which the video can currently be seen on country video stations like Great American Country. He has been on a nationwide tour of the U.S. with his band for much of 2006.

He also owns a female cat, Donna Reed.
