Ugly Betty Gets A New Job

It’s about time she gets back in the TV game!

America Ferrera has just landed a role on the acclaimed CBS drama The Good Wife. Executive producer Robert King announced the good news to sources, explaining that America will play a legal grad student with whom Alan Cummings’ character develops a romantic interest in. Robert added:

“We’ve been watching and loving America for years now on Ugly Betty, and it’ll be fantastic to see her take on a completely different role: especially one that puts her across from Alan Cummings.”

It’s certainly a stretch from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants what we think she is used to, but we think she’ll be wonderful all the same.

Thoughts?
