Tony Goldwyn, Ben Shenkman, Wanda Sykes to Guest Star on Lifetime’s Drop Dead Diva

Stage veterans Tony Goldwyn, Ben Shenkman, and Wanda Sykes will be among the guest stars during the third season of Lifetime’s hit series Drop Dead Diva, according to EW.com.

The show, which returns this summer, stars Broadway veteran Brooke Elliott as Jane/Deb, a shallow model-in-training who dies in a sudden accident only to find her soul resurfacing in the body of a brilliant, thoughtful and plus-size attorney.

The cast also includes theater veterans Margaret Cho, Josh Stamberg and Kate Levering as members of the law firm where Jane works.

Recurring guest stars have also included Paula Abdul, Faith Prince, and Rosie O’Donnell.
