America Ferrera Joins Cast of The Good Wife for Three Episodes

By:

America Ferrera, known for her role in Ugly Betty, will join the cast of 'The Good Wife' on CBS for a three episode arc, as reported by TVLine.com. Ferrera's first episode will air in February.  She will play the role of Natalie, a graduate student who becomes a romantic interest of Eli (Alan Cumming).  Ferrera appeared Off-Broadway in DOG SEES GOD.

"We've been watching and loving America for years now on Ugly Betty," says executive producer Robert King, "and it'll be fantastic to see her take on a completely different role, especially one that puts her across from Alan Cumming."

Also appearing in Ferrera's first episode is Jerry Stiller, known from his role in Seinfeld.  Stiller will play a judge who falls asleep in court too often.
