Judd Hirsch Looks Back on "The Good Wife" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Though many New York-based actors with a certain gravitas have played "Good Wife" judges, Hirsch's character is one of the few who was exposed as guiltier than the defendants in his courtroom… except, "I figured out a way where he wasn't," the actor says, grinning.

"We come to the last day of shooting, and I'm thinking if I don't say that word they gave me in the script, I can prove… that I am innocent."

The show wasn't exactly on board with Hirsch's script-doctoring.

"They chickened out. You can tell them that," he says, laughing. After all, the idea grew from his affinity for the character. "I didn't want him to be guilty. What I wanted him to be was desperate. The guilt of a desperate person is something that you can understand."
