“All you had to do was read the script and know that it was based on him,” he says. Cole was tapped early in the season to play a politician whose campaign goes haywire when several women go public with damaging accusations. However, the most interesting recent credit on Cole’s IMDB might be his guest appearance on Law & Order: SVU. “The writers, who are the mad geniuses that they are, have concocted ways to get people crossing paths with each other, sometimes in large groups, sometimes more isolated and so all of the environments are different.” That changes, people do other things,” Cole says. “What happens is what happens authentically in administrations that have to leave - they begin to fragment and they’re not the merry band of brothers that they were roaming around the west wing. He also stars in PBS’ Civil War drama Mercy Street and has been work at the upcoming sixth season of Veep, which picks up after Selina Meyers’ White House ouster. The Good Fight is just one of several roles the veteran actor has been juggling over the past few months. But there didn’t seem to be a big difference between what you’d see for the old show as opposed to this other than a few choice four-letter words.” “They are connected so whatever state their relationship is in, if it’s splitting apart or if it’s under stress or whatever it is, it’s just another part of her life that they can look at.”Īlthough Cole said he noticed few differences between the new spinoff and the original series, on which he appeared in 14 episodes over the show’s seven seasons, the move to streamer CBS All Access has allowed for “a little bit of vocabulary that you wouldn’t see in a script for CBS the network. The scenes we had were basically our introduction into this new situation she has,” he says. “I don’t know where she’s headed or where this relationship is headed. The spinoff picks up a year following the events of the finale, in which Diane’s world is rocked once again when she is forced out of Lockhart & Lee after an enormous financial scam destroys the reputation of her goddaughter Maia ( Game of Thrones’ Rose Leslie) and wipes out Diane’s savings.Ĭole won’t say whether Kurt really did cheat - “I don’t even choose to answer those questions” - and is equally tight-lipped about the state of Diane’s marriage when The Good Fight picks up. Everybody’s lives were being disrupted and it didn’t come to any good conclusion.” I think the purpose of that, that they were splintered, was that everything was splintering. “It had more to do with the show as a whole more than it had to do with Diane and Kurt’s relationship isolated from that. “Everything was designed to get to that because that image was very, very powerful,” he says. The move led to that infamous finale moment, in which Diane slaps Alicia across the face the way she had once slapped her bad husband in the pilot, and also put Diane’s marriage to Kurt in limbo. But even though the spinoff centers on her character, Cole’s return was put into question by the series finale, in which Alicia ( Julianna Margulies) accused Kurt in court of having an affair with a younger woman so that Alicia could help exonerate her estranged husband Peter (Chris Noth). 19, sees Baranski graduate from strong supporting role to leading lady.
