"The Good Fight" is taking on the alt-right, with a little help from John Cameron Mitchell.

The CBS All Access drama has cast the Hedwig and the Angry Inch actor/auteur to play a Milo Yiannopoulos-type provocateur in an upcoming episode that tackles the issue of free speech vs. hate speech, TVLine has learned.





In the ep — which begins streaming on Sunday, March 19 — Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad is hired by Chumhum tech mogul Neil Gross (John Benjamin Hickey, reprising his role from "The Good Wife") to combat hate speech on his company’s Twitter-like social media platform. They quickly come into contact with one of the primary offenders, a flamboyant, openly gay provocateur by the name of Felix Staples.

The original casting breakdown for Felix described him as an “intellectual gadfly, an articulate, over-educated trickster who regards politics as a mischievous game; he loves causing trouble and sowing discord among his enemies.”
