Marcia Gay Harden said the role of Leanne, from CBS' new medical drama "Code Black," was "so good" that she "could not say no."
"I was a little nervous about it because I'm a single mother of three and I know what life is like on set," the actress, who has worked on shows such as "Law & Order: SVU," and "Trophy Wife," said Monday at the Television Critics Assn. summer media tour in Beverly Hills. But "my kids were like 'Mom, do it, do it, do it.' They were really behind me, so that was important."
The "ER"-esque drama, set in the busiest emergency room in the nation, is slated to debut on Sept.
