Robert King, co-creator and executive producer of The Good Wife and The Good Fight, was interviewed by website Assignment X, where he discussed the two aforementioned shows, his and wife Michelle King’s new production, CBS’s Evil, and the possibility of casting Michael as a villain. Here’s what he said:
AX: Given how good Michael Sheen was at being demonic as lawyer Roland Blum on Season 3 of THE GOOD FIGHT –
KING: Thank you –
AX: Do you think you might have him come over to be demonic on EVIL?
KING: You know what? The only reason he might not is there’s a Fox show he’s doing, PRODIGAL SON –
AX: Where he plays a serial killer –
KING: Right. And the other thing is, because he did GOOD OMENS, in which he was so good. Although he played the angel, so maybe he’d flip over and do the villain. We love him. We’d love to have him back, and so if you talk to him, tell him we want him back to play some villainous demon here.
Unfortunately Michael’s retuen as Roland Blum in season 4 wasn’t confirmed. Read here the interview in its entirety.
