Career

Television roles

He took one theater class in college, and his professor encouraged him to change his major to drama. It was during his first role in The WB’s Young Americans that he met Kate Bosworth, whom he dated from 2000-02. He became better known in the role of Logan Huntzberger on the television show Gilmore Girls on The CW. Prior to this role, Czuchry had a recurring guest role on the CBS drama Hack and starred in the pilot of UPN’s Jake 2.0. He also guested on Freaks and Geeks, 7th Heaven, The Practice, Veronica Mars and Friday Night Lights.

Czuchry co-stars on CBS’s hit series The Good Wife as young, ambitious Harvard-educated lawyer Cary Agos. In the first season, Cary and Alicia Florrick (played by Julianna Margulies) are associates in the law firm Lockhart Gardner competing for one permanent position. At the end of the season, Alicia obtains the position. When the second season starts, Cary is working for the state’s attorney office, thus putting him and Alicia on opposite sides of the courtroom. In the third season, Cary is promoted to Deputy State’s Attorney, but he is subsequently demoted. Unhappy, he accepts an offer to return to Lockhart Gardner.
