Alan Cumming

Cumming is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Eli Gold on The Good Wife.

I think everyone would agree that my being asked to play Eli Gold was so from left field, but it has been such a blast and an education for me as an actor. And to be honored in this way just adds to the surprise and the delight I feel at being a part of such a great show. I am sure Eli is in a photo copy room somewhere doing a little silent celebratory jig!
