<p>^^Another theatre actor, Sebastian Arcelus, who actually has far more stage experience than either Erich or Patina, is also on Madam Secretary. He is married to Stephanie Block. Zeljko Ivanek has also worked extensively on stage as well as in film/tv. My guess is that this show, like The Good Wife, will employ a lot of stage actors, most of whom will be familiar faces and not recent grads. </p>
