Jonathan Groff is going to have a lot of famous company when he appears on The Good Wife. A slew of actors who have previously been on the acclaimed CBS drama all coming back for one special episode during February sweeps.
Check out this list of former guest stars that returning to the show: Rita Wilson as Viola Walsh, Golden Globe Award nominee Parker Posey as Vanessa Gold, Denis O’Hare as Judge Charles Abernathy, Emmy Award winner Edward Herrmann as Lionel Deerfield, John Benjamin Hickey as Neil Gross, Amy Sedaris as Stacie Hall, Renee Elise Goldsberry as Geneva Pine, Anna Camp as Caitlin D’Arcy, Monica Raymund as Dana Lodge, and Jack Carpenter as Patrick Edelstein. They’re all back for an episode that will air on Feb. 19.
If that date sounds familiar, it’s also the Good Wife episode that will feature Glee‘s Groff, making his debut guest appearance on the program.
The hour’s setup: Lockhart & Gardner leads a class action suit against a software company that allowed the Syrian government to “disappear” American citizens.
Jonathan will be guest starring on The Good Wife next month reported by Ausiello.
The Good Wife is taking Jesse St. James to court!
Recurring Glee star Jonathan Groff has landed a guest stint on the CBS drama, TVLine has learned exclusively.
Groff will appear in this season’s 15th episode as Jimmy, a plaintiff suing a software company after his sister disappears during a peaceful protest in Syria.
The episode is slated to air during February sweeps.
As previously reported, Groff is set to return to Glee later this season — this time as the coach of New Directions’ rival choir Vocal Adrenaline.

Here are a bunch of videos of Lea talking about Jonathan during New Year’s Eve red carpet. A couple in which you can see Jonathan in them. Also couple of interviews when Lea was promoting New Year’s Eve and mentioned Jonathan:
Many hold it as tradition to lock lips with someone when ringing in the new year, including “Glee” star Lea Michele.
And the newly single 25-year-old already has a plan in place. (Are we the only ones who can picture her “Glee” alter-ego Rachel Berry doing the exact same thing?)
“I’m a single girl, so I’ve brought in my best friend Jonathan [presumably, Groff] to give me my kiss on New Year’s Eve,” Michele told CNN Sunday.
“He’s going to take one for the team and give me my kiss. We were on Broadway together, and had to make out every single night, so it’ll be like old habit for me. But you’ve got to have somebody!”
Jonathan went with Lea to the premiere of her upcoming film, New Year’s Eve. It’s her movie debut. He also spent the weekend with Lea watching Like Crazy.
Jonathan will be taking part in the MCC Theatre’s Miscast 2012 happening March 26.
Tony nominee and Glee star Jonathan Groff will appear in Miscast 2012, MCC Theater’s annual gala featuring actors performing songs from roles in which they would never be cast. The event will take place at the Hammerstein Ballroom on March 26, 2012. Further casting will be announced shortly.

Kristin posted a bit more about Jonathan’s reappearance on Glee this season!
Groffy Klaus Is Coming to Town: Tis the season to get excited about the one and only Jonathan Groff returning to our television. A source tells us he won’t be reappearing until the back six (wah wahhh), so we can all just assume that New Directions will win all their singing competitions leading up to facing off with Vocal Adrenaline. Plus, our little Broadway birdie assured us that Groff has nothing lined up in New York so he can get back to Los Angeles ASAP. The sooner he’s here, the sooner we can all just relax and soak in his Groff-iness.
