Revenge of the Nerds and Moonlighting star Curtis Armstrong has landed a multi-episode arc on The Closer’s seventh and final season, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

Armstrong will play Peter Goldman, a resourceful attorney hired by the mother of a slain gang member to sue Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) and the Los Angeles Police Department.
