Alan Cumming admits to being indiscreet about major TV character's death

The Good Wife aired a surprise episode killing off a major character.

On March 23, 2014, fans of the hit CBS legal drama, The Good Wife, were left in shock as the show killed off one of its major characters, Will Gardner, played by Josh Charles.

However, it seems that one actor couldn't resist spilling the beans – Alan Cumming, who portrayed the character Eli Gold on the show for all seven seasons.

During a recent press event for his new Peacock series, The Traitors, Cumming confessed to being the least discreet person when it came to keeping secrets about the show.
