NEW YORK, June 27, 2012 – THE GOOD WIFE has cast Emmy Award and Tony Award-winning actor Nathan Lane (“The Producers”) in a recurring role in season four, and will make his debut in September’s season premiere.

            Lane is the latest in a stellar list of recurring guests for THE GOOD WIFE’s new season.  Previously announced casting includes Maura Tierney, Marc Warren and Kristin Chenoweth.

            THE GOOD WIFE, which stars Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Julianna Margulies, is one of television’s most critically acclaimed dramas.  In addition to receiving nine 2011 Primetime Emmy nominations, the most for a broadcast network series, the drama has won or been nominated for multiple awards, including the Peabody Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the People’s Choice Awards.  THE GOOD WIFE airs Sundays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
