John Corbett is best known as an actor in TV series like Northern Exposure and Sex in the City. But apparently his first love is country music. He had modest success with the 2006 album John Corbett. He was born May 9, 1961 in Wheeling, WV. His uncle owned a club and Corbett went to see Buck Owens and others when he was a child. He had a band in high school. After graduating from high school, Corbett moved with his family to Bellflower, CA. He worked at Kaiser Steel for six years but was forced to leave due to injury. Corbett trained as a hairdresser during the day and took acting lessons at night. He also worked on music. After he appeared in some commercials, Corbett started taking acting more seriously. After appearing in a 1988 episode of The Wonder Years, Corbett landed the role of Chris Stevens in the CBS series Northern Exposure. The show ran from 1990-95 and Corbett was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe. He also appeared in the short lived FOX sci-fi series The Visitor. After appearing in some films, Corbett landed the role of Aidan Shaw in the HBO series Sex in the City from 2000-03. That got him a Golden Globe nomination. He also starred in the FX series Lucky and appeared in the films Raising Helen and Raise Your Voice. This is when he started his own record label with Broken Bow distribution. The album John Corbett was released in 2006. The single Good to Go reached #43 on the Country Singles chart. The album was produced by Nashville session guitarist D. Scott Miller and Tara Novick who was in Corbett's band in California. Both played guitar on the album. Special guests include Jimmy Hall of Wet Willie on harmonica, George McCorkle of The Marshall Tucker Band on guitar and Steve Gorman of The Black Crowes on drums. Good to Go was written by veteran songwriters Rodney Clawson and Tim Nichols. Corbett did not write any songs. Then Corbett's acting career got busy. He appeared in the 2008 film Street Kings followed by My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Baby on Board in 2009. He starred in the Showtime series United States of Tara and appeared in Sex in the City 2. And he had a recurring role in the NBC series Parenthood. Corbett finally released the 2013 album Leaving Nothin' Behind. At this point he's probably too busy to devote much time to music. Corbett has been in a relationship with Bo Derek since 2002. They married in 2020. She took the album cover photo. He currently has recurring roles the HBO Max series And Just Like That... and the Hulu series How I Met Your Father. Here's the video for Good to Go by John Corbett.
