Recent Emmy Winner Archie Panjabi On Her Role In The Good Wife

Archie Panjabi just won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work as Kalinda Sharma on the CBS series The Good Wife. The striking 38-year-old hails from Middlesex England and has done some fine work over the last 15 years or so. She had a smaller part in the film Bend It Like Beckham with Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley and just finished a 5 episode run of Personal Affairs before joining the cast of The Good Wife with veterans Julianna Margulies and Chris Noth.

When the series first aired it seemed to be simply a short story about a woman (Margulies) coping with the infidelities of her husband (Noth) which I figured wuld be yet another boring re-telling of that old tale.

The series keeps being raised to my attention and that of others as a quality drama with excellent character development. I'll have to take a look again. And Panjabi's character just from the clip seems intriguing enough to warrant a further review.

Michael J. Fox To Be On The Good Wife

Actor Michael J. Fox has been announced as a guest star on The Good Wife which stars Julianna Margulies and Chris Noth next season. Fox will play a "shrewd and cynical litigator" named Simon Canning who will oppose Margulies' character, Alicia Florrick in a massive class action suit as he defends a giant pharmaceutical company.

Fox was last seen in 5 episodes of Rescue Me with Denis Leary in 2009. Personally one of my alltime favorite actors, Fox rose to fame playing Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties back in the 80s and Spin City of course as well as a number of hit movies on his resume such as the Back To The Future trilogy and Doc Hollywood before suffering from Parkinsons disease. He started Spin City after his diagnosis and also made a great (if underrated) movie called The Frighteners - check that one out if you haven't seen it yet.

Since then he has had a number of memorable guest roles, such as Daniel Post on Boston Legal. He also has picked up 5 Emmy Awards over the course of his career.

The premiere of The Good Wife is set for Tuesday, Sept. 28 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS. The series’ first season was a critical success, having received nine Emmy nominations.
