He's played a doctor. He's currently playing a detective. And Taye Diggs will next be seen as a lawyer.

The Murder in the First star has booked a multi-episode role on The Good Wife Season 6, as he'll come on board this CBS drama as an attorney named Dean Levine-Wilkins.

According to executive producers Robert and Michelle King, Diggs will portray a “meticulous” equity partner at Lockhart/Gardner who joins up with Diane and heads over to Florrick/Agos this fall.

"We couldn't be more excited to have Taye on the show,” said the producers in a statement.  “We’ve been huge fans for years, and love his ability to play comedy and drama with equal ease."

The Good Wife, of course, has been home to many recurring famous faces over the years, such as Matthew Perry, Nathan Lane, Martha Plimpton, Carrie Preston and Maura Tierney.

The Good Wife Season 6 kicks off on September 21 21 at 9 PM ET/PT and you can watch The Good Wife online via TV Fanatic if you need a refresher.
