EXCLUSIVE: Rob McClure (Broadway’s Mrs. Doubtfire), Joe Morton (Going Dutch), and Steven Pasquale (The Four Seasons) have joined Cupertino, CBS‘s new legal drama from The Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King, as recurring guest stars.
McClure plays Bo, a potential client who approaches the firm of protagonist attorneys Michael (Mike Colter) and Olivia (Rachel Keller) firm for representation.
Morton plays Bayard, Michael’s celebrity lawyer father who casts a long shadow and values success above all else.
Pasquale plays Ry, a successful Silicon Valley lawyer who knows how to take control of a room.
Created and executive produced by the Kings, Cupertino is a David vs. Goliath legal drama set in the heart of Silicon Valley that follows a lawyer (Colter) who is being cheated out of his stock-options by his former employer, a tech start-up. Refusing to back down, he joins forces with Olivia (Keller), another recently fired attorney, to represent those taken advantage of by the tech elite and help them fight back in a high-stakes battle against the Goliaths controlling Silicon Valley.
As previously announced, other series regulars include Renée Elise Goldsberry, Ella Stiller, Nik Dodani, and Busy Philipps. CBS Studios is producing the series, with Robert and Michelle King serving as co-showrunners and exec producing under their CBS Studios-based King Size Productions.
