Career
Television roles

Czuchry co-stars on CBS's hit series The Good Wife as young, ambitious Harvard-educated lawyer Cary Agos.[4] In the first season, Cary and Alicia Florrick (played by Julianna Margulies) are associates in the same Chicago law firm competing for one permanent position. At the end of the season, Alicia wins the competition and the position. When the second season starts, Cary is working for the state's attorney office, thus putting him and Alicia on opposite sides of the courtroom.
