CBS' "The Good Wife" has cast a pair of plum roles for its upcoming fourth season.
The network announced on Monday (June 25) that Maura Tierney and Marc Warren have landed recurring roles.
After teasing the character's arrival through much of the third season finale, Kalinda's ex-husband will make his first appearance this fall and after fans online dedicated a lot of effort to stunt-casting the role, "The Good Wife" has, instead, gone with British actor Warren.
Best known for British TV like "State of Play" and "Hustle," Warren has also been seen in HBO's "Band of Brothers" and in features like "Wanted" and "Green Street Hooligans."
Tierney, meanwhile, has been cast as "a self-made millionaire who has become the doyenne of Chicago Democratic politics." The "NewsRadio" and "ER" veteran most recently appeared on the small screen in ABC's "The Whole Truth" and FX's "Rescue Me."
CBS didn't offer specific episode counts for either guest star.
A long-time member of the TCA Board and a longer-time blogger of "American Idol," Dan Fienberg writes about TV, except for when he writes about movies or sometimes writes about the Red Sox. But never music. He would sound stupid talking about music.

June 25, 2012 at 1:26PM EST Reply to CommentI really hope the "kalinda's husband" storyline doesn't get 10% an episode.... she's already such a problematic character with the show's tone, if things start going sideways with that story arc it'll be disappointing.
