Cumming signs as 'Good Wife' series regular

Fans of “The Good Wife,” feel free to rejoice: Alan Cumming has been cast as a series regular for the second season.

Cumming, who plays political consultant Eli Gold with panache and little room for slackers, will continue to recur this season as well. Gold is working with Chris Noth’s Peter Florrick, who was recently released from jail and is trying to figure out how to get his professional and personal life back together.

The Scotland native performed last night at the Geffen Theater as part of the venue’s annual fundraising gala, and he sang the little ditty “Taylor the Latte Boy.”

Watching him in “The Good Wife, it’s hard to imagine that Cumming is a real song-and-dance man, but he’s a veteran of screen and stage and oozes showbiz.
