"GLEE VS. SMASH on @thegoodwife_cbs #tvshowscollide @meganhilty," the actor captioned a photo of himself facing off with Hilty.

Hilty and Morrison starred on the musical series Smash and Glee, respectively. The actress will play Holly Westfall, a rival business owner of Diane Lockhart's (Christine Baranski) husband, Kurt McVeigh (Gary Cole).

Morrison, meanwhile, joined The Good Wife as the recurring character Connor Fox in Season 7. The character is an assistant U.S. attorney investigating Alicia Florrick's (Julianna Margulies) husband, Peter (Chris Noth).

The Good Wife will come to a close in May after a seventh and final season. Series co-creators Robert and Michelle King told reporters in February they felt "very fortunate and flattered" to be ending the show "the way [they] hoped it would end."
