Mikhail Baryshnikov discusses his role as Aleksandr Petrovsky in 'Sex and the City', revealing the irony of being better known for this TV character than for his stellar ballet career. Despite his years in theater, he appreciates the boost in recognition the show provided. Baryshnikovâs portrayal left a memorable mark, especially for fans of the series, and he humorously notes that many fail to remember his real name. As the third season of 'And Just Like That' nears premiere, his character's influence on Carrie Bradshaw's story remains significant.
The irony of me working in theatre for 40, 50 years and they remember you for that TV show. But that's fine, I understand whyâthat's America!"
At least they remember something, though they actually don't remember my real name. They say, oh it's Alexander Petrovsky.'
I thought that I would have a couple of months and do a couple of episodes but then they asked me to stay for the whole last year. It was a lot of fun.
He was one of the main draws of the recent episodes in the Sex and the City sequel, but Carrie's romantic history includes many names, most of them fleeting.
