Five-time Emmy winner Michael J. Fox has signed on to guest-star in an upcoming episode of "The Good Wife", CBS announced Friday.



Fox will play Simon Canning, a shrewd and cynical litigator who goes up against Alicia (Julianna Margulies) in a massive class action case.

According to CBS' description of the character, Simon is "willing to use anything in court, including symptoms of his neurological condition, to create sympathy for his otherwise unsympathetic client: a giant pharmaceutical company."






"We're absolutely thrilled that Michael has agreed to play this role," executive producers and show creators Robert and Michelle King said in a statement.

"His intelligence as an actor, combined with his incredible comic timing will really bring this smart, cynical lawyer to life."





The show returns for its second season on Tuesday, Sept. 28 at 10/9c.

Alicia Florrick, prepare to go toe-to-toe with Louis Canning once again.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Michael J. Fox will return to "The Good Wife" early next year as Canning, the manipulative lawyer who gave Lockhart/Gardner & Bond one heck of a court battle.




"As soon as we saw the dailies of Michael playing Louis Canning, we started pleading with him to return," creators and executive producers Robert and Michelle King told EW.

"Luckily he agreed. He's amazing in this role: unpretentiously brave and funny. It's good to have him back."




Fox played Canning in 'Poisoned Pill,' the sixth episode of the CBS drama's second season.

Look for him in episode 13, competing with Alicia (Julianna Margulies) to reach homeowners for a class-action lawsuit.

Michael J. Fox will return to "The Good Wife" for multiple episodes of the CBS drama's third season.

According TVLine, Fox will reprise the role of Louis Canning for at least three or four episodes.



Fox's character was last seen offering Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) a position at his new law firm. She ultimately declined.

The "Spin City" veteran was nominated for an Emmy for his "Good Wife" role, but lost to "Harry's Law" guest Paul McCrane.
