Tea Leoni, who plays Elizabeth McCord on CBS’ drama Madam Secretary, has just made a casting coup with bringing on Eric Stoltz to play her brother. Stoltz is no stranger to the series, as he is one of the executive producers of the hit political drama.
Many fans of Stoltz remember him from the 1980’s hit Some Kind of Wonderful and the film Mask. In Madam Secretary, he will play Peter, who is an adventurer and life-long risk taker. Needless to say, he and Elizabeth have butt heads many times in their history and attempt to settle old scores when he comes to visit.
Stoltz will likely be first seen in an episode in November.
Stoltz won’t be the only EP in front of the camera for the series. Morgan Freeman, also one of the Executive Producer’s of the series, will play a Supreme Court Justice in the premiere episode of the second season of Madam Secretary.
Madam Secretary Second Season premieres October 4 on CBS at 8/7c PM ET.
