The Good Fight is bringing Mandy Patinkin back to TV

Deadline

The Homeland alum has signed a one-year deal to join the Paramount+ legal drama. The Good Fight will mark Patinkin's return to television after eight years on Homeland. According to Deadline, "Patinkin will play Hal Wackner, a layman with no legal training who spontaneously decides to open a court in the back of a copy shop. Against all odds, the court catches on, and the team at Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart find themselves contending with judgements that mean nothing legally, but are honored by much of the entertained public." The Good Fight creators Robert and Michelle King said of Patinkin's casting: “We are the biggest fans of Mandy’s stage, screen, and now YouTube work, so we couldn’t be more excited for him to play Wackner. We only worry that he’ll have less time to do his fantastic work on YouTube.”
