Photo Flash: Matthew Morrison Begins Multi-Episode Story Arc on THE GOOD WIFE

This Sunday, Broadway's Matthew Morrison will begin a multi-episode story arc as Assistant U.S. Attorney Connor FOX in CBS's hit drama THE GOOD WIFE. BWW has a first look at the actor's appearance in the role below!

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Morrison explains how his latest project came about. "I had a sit-down meeting with the Kings, who created the show. And they were really pitching me for their show BrainDead, which is their new series that they're coming out with. I loved the idea of it but I couldn't stop talking to them about THE GOOD WIFE because I told them it's like my favorite show. I love it so much. They were like, "Oh that's great, but this other show..." And I was like, "Oh, that's great, but Good Wife - what's going to happen?!"

He continues, "The problem was... I was doing a Broadway show at the time. They have a lot of Broadway actors in their show but they don't like having too many because it's just hard to schedule around everyone's schedule. But I invited them to see my show; I was doing Finding Neverland at the time and they loved it. When it got announced that I was ending the show in January, I got a call as soon as the announcement came out saying they want me to do this part on THE GOOD WIFE and I said yes! I can't even believe it because it's the final season and I get to be a part of one of my favorite shows of all time so it's wonderful."

He goes on to share the exciting news that his original 4-episode story arc may now be extended to seven, taking the character's storyline all the way up to the show's Series Finale this spring.
