Carla Gugino will bring the sex to “Californication’s” legal briefs.

The actress, who recently played a porn actress in the South by Southwest debut of “Electra Luxx,” will guest star as a defense attorney for the series’ fourth season, the network announced Thursday (April 15).

Gugino will appear in 10 of the 12 episodes for the comedy.

Novelist Hank Moody (David Duchovny) is in trouble yet again thanks to his rampant horndog tendencies. That fling he had with then-underage fake stepdaughter Mia (Madeline Zima)? Well, she’s gone public and that’s never a good thing. Abby (Gugino) the lawyer is just what he needs to keep him from life behind bars, but can he for once keep it in his pants?

Carla Gugino is reuniting with Watchmen director Zack Snyder for SuckerPunch, coming to theaters on March 25, 2011.

The Warner Bros./Legendary project follows Babydoll (Emily Browning) who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world, she begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out before she is deflowered by a vile man.

Gugino will play a nurse in the insane asylum who becomes a madam at a brothel in the film’s alternate reality. Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone and Abbie Cornish co-star.

The movie begins shooting in early fall.

Carla will be appearing in Desire Under the Elms.

Goodman Theatre Artistic Director Robert Falls and renowned actor Brian Dennehy bring their artistic partnership to new heights with Eugene O’Neill’s haunting drama, Desire Under the Elms—marking their fifth collaboration on O’Neill’s work over two decades. Falls’ cast includes stage and screen stars Carla Gugino (Entourage, Spy Kids, Sin City) Pablo Schreiber (Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Awake and Sing!), Boris McGiver (The Wire) and Daniel Stewart Sherman (Broadway’s Cyrano de Bergerac). The centerpiece production of Goodman Theatre’s two-month “A Global Exploration: Eugene O’Neill in the 21st Century,” Desire Under the Elms appears January 17 – February 22 in the Goodman’s 856-seat Albert Ivar Theatre. Tickets are $25 – 82.

“Desire Under the Elms is iconic. A highly passionate, shocking drama of three people tangled in lust and loathing, it’s the first great tragedy from the writer who I consider to be the American Shakespeare—our country’s greatest and most influential playwright,” said Director Robert Falls. “It was necessary for me to reinterpret this play with my longtime collaborator Brian Dennehy—who is considered by many to be one of the great O’Neill interpreters in the world—with two actors of remarkable depth and substance, Carla Gugino and Pablo Schreiber, to complete the devastating love triangle.”

Desire Under the Elms will be performed in one act, spanning 100 minutes with no intermission. Falls reassembles the design team from his 2006 critical and popular hit King Lear, including Walt Spangler (Set Design), Ana Kuzmanic (Costume Design), Michael Philippi (Lighting Design) and Richard Woodbury (Original Music and Sound Design).
