Lindsay Mendez is bringing the comic timing to the small screen…

The 42-year-old half-Mexican American Tony Award-winning actress and singer will guest star in the premiere episode of the third season of CBS’ Elsbeth alongside Amy Sedaris and Andy Richter.

Based on the character featured in The Good Wife and The Good Fight, Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) is the astute but unconventional consent decree attorney working with the NYPD to catch New York’s well-heeled murderers, utilizing her unique point of view.

Mendez will appear as Officer Grace Hackett, a hard-working officer and an aspiring stand-up comic when off the clock. When she teams up with Elsbeth for a case focused on the world of comedy, her knowledge of the business comes in handy.

Elsbeth is produced by CBS Studios and executive produced by Robert King, Michelle King, Jonathan Tolins, Liz Glotzer, Erica Shelton Kodish, Bryan Goluboff and Gail Barringer with Tolins serving as showrunner.

Robert and Michelle King co-created the series.

Mendez most recently starred in the hit Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along opposite Daniel Radcliffe and Jonathan Groff.

The production, which was filmed for theatrical release, will hit theaters on December 5.

On television, Mendez starred in the FX anthology series American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez for Ryan Murphy.

She was previously a series regular on All Rise from CBS/OWN.
