Peter Hermann<\/strong> <\/a>has had not one, but two separate roles<\/a> in the Sex and the City<\/a> <\/i>universe.<\/p>\n One of Hermann\u2019s early acting roles was as a suitor of Charlotte York\u2019s (Kristin Davis<\/strong><\/a>) during the sixth and final season of SATC<\/i>,\u00a0which was conceived by Darren Star<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n Fresh off her breakup from eventual husband\u00a0Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler<\/strong><\/a>), Charlotte \u2014 who had converted to Judaism for Harry amid their courtship \u2014 was set up by several members of her synagogue\u2019s ladies club. One of their prime candidates was David (played by Hermann) in the 2004 episode, \u201cHop, Skip, and a Week.\u201d Charlotte eventually ended their conversation abruptly when she realized Harry was The One<\/a> and their connection wouldn\u2019t lead to anything substantial. Harry, for his part, walked into the temple moments later to win Charlotte back and he proposed. (The twosome are still married<\/a>, and parents of two, in\u00a0And Just Like That<\/i>.)<\/p>\n While Hermann, 55, did not get the girl on Sex and the City<\/i>, he returned to the universe 20 years later for a brief arc on\u00a0And Just Like That<\/i><\/a>. Hermann portrayed\u00a0a\u00a0<\/i>love interest for Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker<\/strong><\/a>) in the\u00a0Thursday, July 13, episode\u00a0when Carrie collided with Hermann\u2019s George while walking <\/a>on the sidewalk. George, a software engineer who was riding a bicycle at the time, went flying over the handlebars and shouted at Carrie for getting in his way and causing him to break his wrist. After she took him to urgent care, they enjoyed a brief flirtation before heading back to his apartment for a romantic encounter. Carrie and George\u2019s dalliance was ultimately interrupted by a FaceTime call from his business partner, who delivered an urgent work deadline.<\/p>\n While David and George do not have a connection besides an uncanny physique, Sex and the City <\/i>author Candace Bushnell<\/strong><\/a> offered her own relatable theory.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fact that Carrie\u2019s app designer boyfriend is the same guy that Charlotte was set up with at the synagogue in season 6\u00a0<\/b>really speaks to the lack of eligible bachelors in New York City,\u201d Bushnell, 64 \u2014 who penned the novels that inspired<\/a> Star\u2019s OG series \u2014 jokingly tweeted<\/a> on Wednesday, July 19.<\/p>\n While\u00a0<\/b>Star,\u00a064, is not involved in\u00a0And Just Like That\u00a0<\/i>\u2014 Michael Patrick King<\/strong> <\/a>took over the role of showrunner \u2014 he did cast Hermann on another TV series:\u00a0Younger<\/i><\/a>. The actor, who is married to Mariska Hargitay<\/strong><\/a>, portrayed leading man\u00a0Charles Brooks\u00a0<\/i>on the TV Land comedy.<\/p>\n \u201cI like the idea of playing someone who had this established business to run and the task ahead always seemed really clear,\u201d Hermann exclusively told\u00a0Us Weekly\u00a0<\/i>in April 2021<\/a> of portraying publisher Charles for seven seasons. \u201cI think that at times in life, the task ahead is somewhat less clear, is somewhat more nebulous. So I loved being able, in a three-piece suit, to take on life in a more structured way. That always felt like a real luxury.\u201d<\/p>\n New episodes of And Just Like That drop Thursdays on Max.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Peter](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Peter-Hermann-Was-In-SATC-Before-And-Just-Like-That-Candace-Bushnell-Offers-Solid-Reasoning-377.jpg?w=700&quality=86&strip=all\")
