In his first big TV role since concluding the five-season run of "Fringe," John Noble has filmed a guest turn on CBS' "The Good Wife."

Star Julianna Margulies spilled the John Noble means on a conference call with international reporters, according to TVGuide Canada.

Apparently Noble has already shot the part, set for Episode 18, as a mysterious man from Alicia's past.

"He comes on as a man that I have flashbacks [about], because he’s a client that I used to take care of all the time," Margulies said. "He’s a very interesting character who is sort of a brilliant techie guy that constantly sues people. He just elevated the part to such a different level, it was remarkable to work with him and just a pleasure to have on set."

In his 100-episode run as Walter Bishop on FOX's "Fringe," Noble regularly topped Emmy Snubs lists. Now he's dropping by one of the most Emmy-friendly shows on TV. "The Good Wife" has landed guest-acting Emmy nominations for Michael J. Fox, Dylan Baker, Martha Plimpton [a winner last year] and, before he became a regular, Alan Cumming, in addition to wins for stars Margulies and Archie Panjabi, plus nominations for Christine Baranski and Josh Charles. That's a lot of Emmy attention.

Other credits for Noble include "24," Science's "Dark Matters" and his role as Denethor in the "Lord of the Rings" franchise.

Comment

Noble so desperate and needy for his Emmy??
Very overrated , and getting far too much credit.

Pushing Anna to the sidelines,(together with pal Jackson) needing all the writing etc.

Contrast to Anna Torv, underrated and never getting the credit.

Curious what Anna Torv will do , spotted in LA a few weeks ago,
I hope she will get the great writing and the respect she deserves, brilliant actress

- JD ^ Is the same Torv Fanboy/girl on every Fringe article on every site? I'm a fan of hers too, but maybe you should try collecting stamps rather than haunting stories about her costars.
