Actor Taye Diggs, known for his roles as Dr. Sam Bennett on ABC's Private Practice and Benjamin Coffin on Broadway’s Rent, has recently been cast as a recurring character on CBS’s The Good Wife.
The actor recently split with ex-wife Idina Menzel, telling Redbook Magazine, “right now, we're still trying to figure out a lot of stuff because we're on different coasts and our son is getting older.
The actor has been working on a number of projects since his the separation, including TNT’s Murder in the First and an untitled sequel to Universal Pictures’ Best Man.
However, CBS recently has announced the actor will be taking part in the sixth season of the hit drama The Good Wife. Diggs will appear as Dean Levine-Wilkins, “a meticulous and talented equity partner at Lockhart/Gardner who decides to throw in his lot with Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) and accompany her to Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and Cary’s (Matt Czuchry) company, Florrick/Agos.”
CBS’s The Good Wife’s fifth season just concluded in May and the six season is scheduled to premiere this coming Fall.
