Felicity Huffman will guest star on ‘Criminal Minds: Evolution’ after ‘The Good Lawyer’ cancelation, college scandal
Felicity Huffman has landed another TV gig after her short-lived stint on The Good Lawyer — and five years after the college admissions scandal cast a shadow on her career.
Huffman’s character is reluctant to return to the bureau’s elite team given her complicated history with David Rossi and her dead ex-husband, Jason Gideon. But soon realizes her specific skill set could help them uncover another clue to the elusive Gold Star mystery. The short-lived show marked Huffman’s return to acting after taking a four-year break following her involvement in the college admissions scandal.The former Desperate Housewives star was arrested in March 2019 for paying $15,000 to improve her daughter Sophia’s SAT scores. She was one of 50 people who were arrested as part of the scandal, which also included Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli.
“It’s been hard. Sort of like your old life died and you died with it,” Huffman told The Guardian of the fallout from the scandal in an interview published in February. “I’m lucky enough to have a family and love and means, so I had a place to land.”
