The Closer Casting Scoop: Curtis Armstrong vs. Brenda Johnson!
TV Fanatic Staff at .Curtis Armstrong is coming after Brenda Leigh Johnson.
The actor, forever known for his role on Revenge of the Nerds, has landed a multi-episode arc on The Closer, one that will pit him against Kyra Sedgwick's character in the courtroom.
Armstrong will portray Peter Goldman, a prosecutor hired by the mother of a slain gang member who sue Brenda and the LAPD.
"He's going after her, the city and the department," James Duff says. "He is a wily attorney who's made a profession of suing the police... he's making the police justify their tactics and holding them to the standards our constitution demands."
Brenda will have a lawyer in her corner, too, of course. He'll be played by Mark Pellegrino.
