I want to be with somebody who could inspire me to get better in all aspects of my life, and whom I could do the same for. It’s hard to find two people who match in that way.

Matt Czuchry doesn’t like to lose. As Cary Agos — The Good Wife’s deliciously multidimensional assistant state’s attorney with a grudge — Czuchry (pronounced “zoo-cree”) displays a fierce competitive streak.

He’s gone from this giant firm to the SA’s office where he probably gets his own coffee. He’s more grounded and mature.
