I spotted Alan Cumming playing an American political campaign manager in CBS' "The Good Wife" the other night. It looks like he is going to become a series regular. Here is a clip. Let's just say it's a very different character to Boris, and it seems the Scottish actor is a bit of a wiz with accents.

He's actually terrific in it, it's quite a well written show and they give Alan some great lines.
I actually hated him in Goldeneye, but pretty much like everything else he does..

So an actor who was once in a Bond film is now in something else? Amazing!

It's a valid thread. Some people like seeing "where they are now."

I think it's useful to point out. Sometimes people are wracking their brains trying to remember where they've seen an actor before.

But this is an interesting one, because his role is so different to his character in Goldeneye.

Also, I'm interested to hear if his American accent is as good as the one Hugh Laurie does for his role as "House MD".
