Jerry Adler as Howard Lyman
Howard Lyman's role on The Good Fight is brief, but it sure is memorable.
In the series' first episode, "Inauguration," Lyman incorrectly assumes that Maia's role at the firm isn't to provide legal expertise, but rather to select and display the lobby's floral arrangements—that have to meet his standards, no less!
Of course, his quirks aren't unexpected. Lyman, who first appeared in The Good Wife Season 2's "Great Firewall," became a presence at the firm purely as a pawn for partner votes but quickly became a hilarious Lockhart/Gardner staple.
While he provides ample humor in all of his episodes, his penchant for napping in his office sans pants–and his awkward emails–make "Outside the Bubble" an excellent episode of The Good Wife.
