THE GOOD FIGHT Adds Mandy Patinkin

Mandy Patinkin has joined the fifth season of THE GOOD FIGHT, Paramount+ announced.

“We are the biggest fans of Mandy’s stage, screen, and now YouTube work, so we couldn’t be more excited for him to play Wackner,” said co-creators Robert and Michelle King in a statement. “We only worry that he’ll have less time to do his fantastic work on YouTube.”

Patinkin, who most recently starred in HOMELAND, will play Hal Wackner, “a layman with no legal training who spontaneously decides to open a court in the back of a copy shop. Against all odds, the court catches on, and the team at Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart find themselves contending with judgements that mean nothing legally, but are honored by much of the entertained public.”
