Emmy contenders: Behind the scenes with 'The Good Wife's Josh Charles.

What has been your favorite scene to shoot so far?
I love doing scenes when we are in the judges’ chambers. Getting to do scenes with Denis O’Hare, Linda Emond and Jane Alexander is really a joy. While researching the role, I found it fascinating to hear how differently lawyers and judges behave when they are behind closed doors and I think our writers do a wonderful job of showing that dynamic. I always enjoy any scenes with Julianna, but the scenes in the finale were really special to film.
In what way do you hope your character grows?
Oftentimes, TV lawyers are portrayed as moral angels — always trying to do the right thing and sweating over the details. Will isn’t like that. He wants to win, he’s passionate about his clients, and he has shown that he is willing to do just about anything to win — from dumping a gun to going after a judge. At the same time, though, he’s been struggling in his personal relationships. I hope that we get to see Will pay a price for his choices — something that hits him hard and rocks his approach to the law or to his relationships. Clearly, Will’s sexual relationship with Alicia will change things and it will be interesting to see how Alicia’s relationships and passions impact Will. I also hope that as we uncover Will’s past, it will shed some more light on why he behaves the way he does.
