We first noticed actor Josh Charles on the under-appreciated TV show, Sports Night. There he played sports anchor Dan Rydell alongside Peter Krause's Casey McCall and the pair were the kind of sports obsessed bundles of testosterone that most guys could totally relate to. I loved that show, but it only lasted a couple of seasons.
This fall we're watching The Good Wife, on which Charles plays Will Gardner, a partner in the law firm where the title character (played by Julianna Margolis) works. There have only been 4 or 5 episodes thus far, but what I've noticed in each of them is that Charles' character always has some sort of sports reference in his scenes. Sometimes it's a baseball that he's tossing around absent-mindedly (he was apparently a pro player earlier in his life, according to what's been revealed so far), and other times it's been a ball cap or something similar. I know enough about the actor to realize this is a true-to-life portrayal, but I still think it's pretty cool and a nice little Easter egg every week for us old-time Sports Night fans. Nicely done, writers!
