OF ‘THE GOOD FIGHT’ ON PARAMOUNT+
As “The Good Fight” reaches its end,
how do you assess the journey of your
character, Marissa Gold?
kangaroo-court stuff served the purpose that it
needed to, in order for her to come back and
approach being a lawyer her own way.
I feel like her connection with (Mandy Patinkin’s
self-styled judge character last season) had a
lot to do with her transition into being a lawyer.
She’s gone into this new thing but she’s still
Marissa, so her doing a lot of dry paperwork
was not going to happen. That’s just not her.
What can you say about Alan Cumming,
who has played your father Eli Gold on
the show?
She’s not a typical lawyer, so it made a lot of
emotional sense to me that she was not going
to be put in a traditional box. I think that
He’s been this incredible figure for me. Back
when we were on “The Good Wife,” we were
doing plays at the same time. We would be on
the (series) set all day, then we’d hop in a van
together and sleep on our way to our shows,
them get out and do them. It did feel like we
were this little family, so it was wonderful and
beautiful.
What do you think of the parallels
between some cases on “The Good Fight”
and real-life events?
There was something cathartic about the
way in which (the series) helped me process
and understand them. The Kings (executive
producers Robert and Michelle King) are so
smart, they’ve been on top of things in almost a
miraculous, psychic way.
