The Good Wife: Scoop on Michael Cerveris replacing John Leguizamo in the role as the State Attorney from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on The Good Wife from this week's (Posted on 4/15/14) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: A couple months ago, TVLine reported that John Leguizamo was cast as the State’s Attorney who would replace Peter on The Good Wife. However, in Sunday’s episode the State’s Attorney was played by Michael Cerveris. Is John still going to appear or did I just miss the news of this switch? Don’t get me wrong, I like Cerveris. Just wondering what happened there. —Katie
Ausiello: Nothing gets past you, Katie. Yes, there was an 11th hour switcheroo, and the reason behind it is about to be exaplined to you by series cocreators Robert and Michelle King: ”We were so honored to get John Leguizamo for The Good Wife, but felt we were not utilizing him in the best way possible as James Castro. We are hoping to work with him again in different role, as he is such a splendid and collaborative actor.”
