The show's main character Alicia Florrick (played by Julianna Margulies) is also assigned to the panel and she questions the new attorney's actions as chairman.
"It's my favorite show, I love this show," Perry said of "The Good Wife" in a preview interview (watch below). Of his role, the actor said, "My character's quite a bad guy, which is really fun to play. I've never played a guy this, sort of, mean before. Playing a sociopath is kind of easy because you just pretend you're telling the truth when you're lying."
Before his stint on "Mr. Sunshine," Perry appeared on "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" in 2006. The series, written by Aaron Sorkin, lasted only one season. Perry played Chandler Bing on "Friends" for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004. He has also appeared in movies such as "The Whole Nine Yards" in 2000 and its 2004 sequel and in "17 Again" alongside Zac Efron in 2009.
Julianna Margulies won the 2011 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series for her role as Alicia Florrick in "The Good Wife" in September.
In "The Good Wife," Margulies stars as Alicia, the wife of a disgraced state attorney, played by "Sex and the City" actor Chris Noth, who renews her career as a junior litigator. The series premiered in 2009 and began its third season on September 25, 2011.
Matthew Perry's first episode on "The Good Wife" will air on Sunday, March 25 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Watch a clip and interviews below.
The former "Friends" star and multiple Emmy nominee will first appear on the CBS drama on March 25, the network says. He'll play Mike, an "extremely charming" Chicago attorney who's leading an inquiry into a suspicious police shooting. Alicia (Julianna Margulies) is assigned to the inquiry panel too, and she soon starts to wonder about the way Mike is directing the investigation.
The part will be Perry's first TV role since "Mr. Sunshine" finished its brief run on ABC last season.
Perry is best-known for playing Chandler on "Friends," for which he earned an Emmy nod in 2002, but he's done his fair share of dramatic work too. Three of his four Emmy nominations, in fact, came from dramas -- two for guest appearances on "The West Wing" and one for his starring role in the TNT movie "The Ron Clark Story."
Matthew Perry is joining The Good Wife in the recurring role of Mike, an ultra-charming Chicago attorney tasked with heading up a blue ribbon panel that’s investigating a suspicious police shooting. His political steering of the committee seems inevitable until he’s sabotaged by a truth-seeking Alicia (Julianna Margulies).
Perry — last seen on the small screen in the short-lived ABC comedy Mr. Sunshine — makes his Good debut on March 25. Rumor has it the role may extend into next season.
