Colter returns to CBS
Mike Colter has appeared in three prominent CBS series created by Robert and Michelle King. His roles include Lemond Bishop in The Good Wife and a place in the ensemble of Evil, which ran for four seasons.
In Cupertino, Colter plays lawyer Michael Price, alongside Rachel Keller as Olivia Siffre. The pair were fired from a technology start-up and now represent people harmed by major technology companies through their developing law firm.

CBS will air three Cupertino episodes back-to-back after 60 Minutes this Sunday, replacing the scheduled Marshals and Tracker. A new episode, “Harper,” will air at 8 p.m. ET/PT in the time slot usually assigned to the Yellowstone spin-off.
The broadcast will continue with reruns of the first two episodes, “Michael & Olivia” and “Vik & Bo.” The regular Thursday episode, “Celeste,” is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET/PT.
