I personally loved the Madam Secretary episode that added Kate Burton, Julia Murney, and John Ellison Conlee in one family.

Matthew Morrison was on Younger this week (and Good Wife as well). O course he has already had fame on TV previously but he started here on Broadway...

I am continually impressed by the number of Broadway actors that "The Good Wife" attracted. Even though the series is set in Chicago, I believe they shot in New York (?) and thus can accommodate the schedules of those in plays.
I will add to "The Good Wife" list:
Sarah Steele
Nathan Lane
Christopher McDonald
Anika Noni Rose
Steven Pasquale
Margo Martindale
Stockard Channing
Michael Cerveris
Denis O'Hare
David Hyde Pierce
Nikki M. James
Ana Gasteyer
Christian Borle
Cady Huffman
Vanessa Williams
F. Murray Abraham
Karen Olivo
Linda Emond
Linda Lavin
Kelly Bishop
Laura Benanti
Kristin Chenoweth
Christopher Sieber
Rory O'Malley
Dan Fogler
James Monroe Iglehart
Steven Boyer
John Cullum
Jefferson Mays
...
Jeesh, the list goes on and on. Of course, talented actors get work, so it doesn't surprise me that there is cross-pollination between the stage and small screen. But "The Good Wife" really stands out. The show will be missed.

I watched Mara Davi's reoccurring roles on Blue Blood and Smash but she's also done Good Wife, Mysteries of Laura, and Taxi Brooklyn.

Yes, The Good Wife shot in NY and took up the slack of hiring theatre actors to fill out the guest spots that was left once Law & Order was reduced down to just S.V.U.

Interestingly, Arthur Darvill and Carlos Valdes were in Once together and now appear on two different DC superhero shows on the WB.

Anthony Ramos guest starred on an episode of Younger. He was on screen for all of a minute, but there's another one :)

Maybe we can call them "Broadway performers"?

Daveed Diggs, Anthony Ramos and Michael K. Lee were all on the same episode of Law & Order SVU recently. And certainly, Renee Elise Goldsberry on The Good Wife the previous couple seasons.

With more and more tv shows being filmed in NY locations, it stands to reason that we are seeing talent that used to have to choose between Hollywood and Broadway appearing in TV shows. It's great to see these actors get this exposure as well as being able to make a decent living, something that Broadway can't always provide. Actors get better the more they work, so it's a bonus all the way around!

I am amazed by the number of Broadway stars who pop up on The Good Wife, and I have been equally amazed that The Good Wife doesn't have its own thread on this message board. "Who popped up this week on The Good Wife?" could be the name.
As a Chicagoan who visits NYC on a regular basis I can definitely tell you that the show is shot in NYC. First of all, our amazing Chicago stage actors would be the guest stars (as they are on all those shot-in-Chicago shows like Chicago Fire). But if you are familiar with Chicago architecture, the shots saying "hey we're in a Chicago neighborhood or we in the Chicago loop" don't look quite Chicago. It's just a quibble and the show gets away with it. There was one exterior shot in Season 2 or 3 where you could see the Avenue of the Americas way in the background and the character was saying she was at some Chicago intersection, ha.

You are right. Also, Ciera Renae is also in "Legends of Tomorrow" with Arthur Darvill.

I just watched the season premiere of House of Cards earlier today, and it has Kevin Spacey, Sebastian Arcelus, and Cicely Tyson.
According to IMDB, Broadway veteran Donnie Kehr is on Episode 9 this season.
