How ‘Suits LA' Lured Gabriel Macht Back to Playing Harvey Specter
Gabriel Macht never expected to play Harvey Specter again. After wrapping up his nine-season run as the debonair, suave super lawyer on the USA drama Suits in 2019, Macht intentionally stepped away from acting in order to refocus his attention on spending more time with his family and raising his two young children. As time went on, he felt he was able to slowly shed the onscreen persona that had dramatically upended his life and shot him to international fame. More from The Hollywood Reporter Emma Corrin, Jack Lowden to Star in 'Pride and Prejudice' Miniseries at Netflix 'Devil May Cry' Renewed by Netflix for Season 2 The Rage of 'Adolescence': Inside the Single-Shot Sensation Blowing Up the Manosphere But in the summer of 2023, amid the actors' and writers' strikes in Hollywood, Netflix acquired the co-streaming rights to Suits in the U.S. (The series had already been available to stream on Peacock.) Suddenly, the glossy, eminently bingeable legal drama — which centered around hotshot corporate attorney Harvey's decision to hire brilliant college dropout Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) as his new associate, and the inevitable cover-up and fallout from their long con — got a new lease on life. By the end of that year, according to Nielsen, Suits had racked up 57.7 billion total minutes watched and became the most watched title ever acquired by a streaming service. Like his former co-stars and colleagues, Macht did not quite know what to make of the unprecedented resurgence of Suits, but he had a feeling that creator Aaron Korsh would eventually end up expanding the fictional universe with another set of impossibly witty and snazzy lawyers. Sure enough, while developing the new West Coast-set spinoff, Suits LA, for NBC last year, Korsh asked Macht if he would consider suiting up again for a three-episode arc in the 13-episode first season, which would reveal an existing connection between Harvey and new protagonist Ted Black (Stephen Amell). 'I thought, 'You know what? I could give something back to the fans because they're so, so hungry for more of this character. And if I can support the show in my way and bring some eyes to it, that might be a really nice thing to pass the baton,'' Macht tells The Hollywood Reporter in the interview below, about why he returned for a three-episode arc (his next final episodes release April 13 and 20). 'They worked out a way to make it make sense for my family, and here we are.' In 2010, while Ted was prosecuting federal cases for the U.S. Attorney's office in New York City, Harvey, shortly before leaving to work for the indomitable managing partner Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres), was still working for the District Attorney. Suits fans will remember that baseball was Harvey's sport of choice growing up, and as shown in Harvey's first Suits LA appearance in episode four, Harvey and Ted would sometimes play in the prosecutors' league baseball team together. After a playoff game, Harvey took Ted and his brother Eddie (Carson A. Egan), who has Down syndrome, out for a drink, and Harvey gave Ted some valuable intel about Pellegrini (Anthony Azizi) — the mob boss who had not-so-subtly threatened Eddie at his workplace. With Harvey's help, Ted was able to put Pellegrini away for another case that he was prosecuting. But after Pellegrini gets out of prison in the present day, Harvey convinces Ted that, in order to settle an old score, they need to team up and go after the mobster again. Below, Macht opens up about his decision to return (albeit, briefly) to scripted television to support the expansion of the Suits universe, why he thinks the fan-favorite relationship between Harvey and Mike has stood the test of time — and why he believes that hypermasculine antiheroes, including Harvey, are often celebrated for the wrong reasons. *** was a hit during its nine-season run, but the show came back into the cultural zeitgeist in a way no one could have anticipated. What have you made of the resurgence of the series? And once it became clear that this universe would be expanding, what conversations did you have with creator Aaron Korsh about what you both wanted to accomplish with Harvey's return? I'm in utter awe of the numbers and amount of downloads, the commitment that fans have regarding the show. The fandom has been complete insanity. [I'm amazed by] someone who wants to spend that kind of time with us on multiple reruns. I've met a couple people who have watched the show four times, seven times, 10 times, 15 times all the way through. You multiply that by 134 episodes. This resurgence happened, in many ways, I believe, in connection with TikTok and Instagram. [With] the little bite-sized format and presentation that this new generation had [on those apps], they picked up on the motivations and inspirational Harvey quotes, or the witty banter. I think those were little nuggets that people took and went to Netflix and said, 'What is this show? I've been seeing these things pop up.' I think that helped create the explosion. It's very interesting to see how different platforms create this widespread attention. We were really a hit when we first premiered. The show was very solid on USA and around the world on the different streaming platforms. So to have another round owas amazing and, 'Wow, this is intense.' It's created so many opportunities for me personally, which is a blessing, and when Aaron said, 'Look, we had this idea of doing this universe and creating this world where maybe some of the original cast members pop up, would you be interested?' I said, 'Well, tell me a little bit more about it, because I feel like we wrapped up these storylines and these characters really gracefully, and I think we did a good job of giving the fans what they wanted.' Aaron said, 'Well, our lead character could have been friends with Harvey back in the day, and there's some stuff that's gone on. But if we could make it happen and it worked out for [your] schedule, and [we could] truncate the work, maybe you'd consider it.' I took that as a very real thing. I thought about the space in which Suits LA is presented and I thought, 'You know what? I could give something back to the fans because they're so, so hungry for more of this character. And if I can support the show in my way and bring some eyes to it, that might be a really nice thing to pass the baton.' And that's how it all came about. It all worked out. They worked out a way to make it make sense for my family, and here we are. You had 134 episodes on the original series to explore pretty much every aspect — every nook and cranny — of Harvey's inner life. Considering that you had already thought so much about Harvey's evolution, what new layers did you find in revisiting him all these years later? Wow, that's a question I could probably take a week and a half to answer. For full transparency, my job as an actor is to cede to the vision of the showrunner and expand on the showrunner's idea of who this character is, and collaborate with the directors and the other actors and somehow be somewhat spontaneous and make some choices, but not land on too many, and try and create the magic as we go along. That's how I approached the character. It turned out that I was nothing like the character when we started, and by the end I was too much like him in [terms of] behavioral actions. There were some beats of Harvey that I think developed in ways that were not healthy for me as Gabriel, but that's the character. I wanted to honor the character and honor his insecurities and the way he does things. In the flash-forward, in the present time, I think Harvey is way more in a space of his wise self and less of his young child who needs to make a statement and get his way. I have found that I personally am in a better space in my life emotionally — and I think Harvey is too. In one of your recent social media posts, we can see that Harvey is still in Seattle and presumably working with Mike for the everyman, rather than for corporations or the one percent. Harvey still has his wedding band on in the behind-the-scenes photos that have been released, so he is still married to Donna (Sarah Rafferty). How much are we going to hear about what Harvey's life looks like now in episodes eight and nine? Are we going to hear about what he has been up to with Mike or Donna? I think you're going to see there are a few beats that represent what's going on in his present life, and I think that the audience will be pleasantly warm. They'll have a warm feeling. (Laughs) I think they'll enjoy it. I think it gives the fans what they want, and I think there's some special moments there. A lot of the success of had to do with the close relationship between Harvey and Mike; it was a depiction of male friendship we hadn't really seen on TV before. What do you think were the keys to building the onscreen and offscreen rapport that you had with Patrick, particularly in the earlier seasons, and why do you think that dynamic has stood the test of time? I think people are interested in relationships where there's a mentor and a mentee. I think that when the mentor is teaching some real truth and inspiring and creating strength in someone younger, it's really inspiring [the audience]. But I also think that when the youth is able to teach the elder, there's something there as well. Mike taught a lot to Harvey that Harvey wasn't able to work out on his own. I think that's the dynamic — they're both making mistakes along the way. Humans make mistakes all the time. I think the characters are accountable for what they have done wrong and they try to make things right. At the end of the day, what's most resonant is both of them really have a heart of gold, and they may do things in an alternative or maybe even manipulative way, and that's the dramatic purpose [of the show]. But at its heart, these are guys that want to do right, and that's what people respond to. They also like to see people take the piss at each other and bring them down in a playful way — not to really put them in their spot and make them feel less than or dismiss them. But they were able to one up each other throughout. I think people like that chemistry, and Patrick and I had that on set and in real life as well. Harvey Specter has become a cultural icon, joining other powerful male antiheroes like Tony Soprano, Walter White and Don Draper. Jon Hamm told last year that those kinds of male characters are often celebrated for the wrong reasons; a certain demographic seems to think of them as 'a paragon of masculinity.' How did you approach the depiction of masculinity with Harvey on ? And what are your thoughts on the way that the character, for better or for worse, has been used and propped up as a bastion of masculinity in pop culture? That's a great question. Jon Hamm totally stole that from me. I said that first — just not as articulately and just not with the vocabulary that he used. I'm just playing. (Laughs) He's absolutely right. I think that these are television characters who have made a real dent in society, and I am not in any way, shape or form supportive of the male toxicity that Harvey just exudes. I'm definitely not honoring his narcissistic need [to be told] how great he is. I think he is full of insecurities, full of vulnerabilities, full of abandonment issues, full of this patriarchal selfish greed that he needs to stay on top and control as much as he can before it's taken away. I think all of that is — what's it called? — misogynistic crap. I think some of our young adolescent men lean into that and think that's the way to be cool and make an influence in society. What people really respond to about Harvey is his vulnerability; his caring for the other. Once he realizes he's being a dick, and I think when he is self-reflective and in touch with himself and his emotions, he really looks at every man and says, 'Let's be equal. Let's figure out what we're doing wrong, and let's make a change in an integral way with integrity and kindness.' And that's underneath what he's doing; those are his actions at the end of the day. But I think Jon Hamm is absolutely right. These characters are manipulative and often really offensive and not great in any way for our society — and I hate to say it, but we as an audience have our blinders on when we're not looking deeper at what's underneath all of this stuff. I think too much is being run in the wrong way. You admittedly had little interest in coming back to work as an actor right now. You've now ventured into business as a whiskey investor and creative spokesperson, but you came back to as a tribute to the fans. How open is the door to revisit Harvey again down the line? Would you consider reprising this role in any iteration in the future — whether it be in a potential future season of or a potential movie reunion — or do you feel like this short arc was the best way for you to let Harvey go? I think it was the right way to come back, and it's the right way to leave it right now. I think I was here, really, to pass the baton to Suits LA, but they're up and running and these guys are solid. They've got some good writing; there's some good stories. There's definitely fans who are going to stay with the show. I don't think they need me back. But never say never! If the opportunity comes where it makes sense — again, I've got a lot of different interests and a lot of ventures going on. I'm really excited and passionate about my whiskey, Bear Fight Whiskey, and creating little short narratives like, 'What is your 'bear fight'? Everyone's got a bear fight, so what is yours?' [The idea of that campaign is] everyone's got either a big trauma or a little trauma or a challenge or a thing that's just a daily itch, like, 'God, I really haven't picked up my guitar this week. I just gotta do it, but it's not on the calendar and I forget to do it. So next week I'm going to put it on my board, and I'm going to practice the guitar.' And at the very end of the day they say, 'You know what? I practiced guitar today. I lent in and I engaged, and I'm going to celebrate that moment by having a glass of Bear Fight.' I would love to see that conversation. I'm really passionate about that, and that's where my interest lies right now. Look, if [Aaron] comes back to me and says, 'Hey, would you like to do another arc?' — I'm open to it, but I'm really interested in doing this short-form narrative right now. I want to spend my time with my family. *** Suits LA airs Sundays at 9/8c on NBC, and episodes stream the next day on Peacock. All episodes of Suits are now streaming on NBC and Peacock.

Gabriel Macht talks 'Suits LA' return and Duchess Meghan's role in the show's resurgence
Gabriel Macht talks 'Suits LA' return and Duchess Meghan's role in the show's resurgence Show Caption Hide Caption 'Suits LA': Gabriel Macht takes these steps in becoming Harvey Specter How does Gabriel Macht become the character Harvey Specter? He explains his "Suits LA" reprisal to USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa. NEW YORK ‒ Gabriel Macht is thrilled with the resurgence of the USA Network legal drama "Suits," which aired from 2011 to 2019. The actor talks about clips of the show going viral on social media. He marvels at how the series took off when it hit Netflix in 2023. He even mentions that "Suits" was one of the most illegally downloaded TV shows of its time, according to rankings from a website that publishes news on copyright and file sharing. And yes, the fact that his paralegal on the show was played by an actress then known as Meghan Markle, now Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, might have played a role, too. "I don't know the logistics; I don't know the numbers," Macht, 53, tells USA TODAY. "But possibly. I mean, she's quite known around the world these days, right?" Macht says "never in a million years" did he think he'd be fielding questions about the royal family because of a former colleague. Thankfully, for "Suits" fans, they didn't have to wait a million years to see him back as Harvey Specter. The actor reprises his role as the fast-talking lawyer on NBC's spinoff "Suits LA" (Sunday, 9 ET/PT). Macht says returning to the character, which he played in all 134 episodes of the original series, was like figuratively hopping back on a bike. "There's a couple different stages; one is putting the suit on," he explains. "You feel like, 'Oh, I'm back in it.' Another is, 'Let me get in touch with all the stuff that I'm not crazy about myself.' That's pretty easy. And then the third is learning the lines. Once you sort of absorb the double negatives and all the rhythms, then you're good to go." New coast, same Harvey Specter on 'Suits LA' The original series, set in New York, starred Macht and Patrick J. Adams, who played Mike Ross, a chronic underachiever with a photographic memory who never attended law school. Despite this, Specter is impressed with Ross and brings him on as an associate in his law firm. The new series shifts the action to Los Angeles. Macht was first seen in the March 16 episode, "Batman Returns." Through flashbacks, we learn of Specter's friendship with the lead of the new show, Ted Black (Stephen Amell). Over drinks at a bar, Specter insists that he is Batman to Ted's Robin. "I think it's probably the narcissistic element that Harvey's got, where he's gotta be the one and center," Macht says. "I don't think Harvey ever sees himself as a sidekick, whether it's Mike being Robin or Ted being Robin. (Harvey's) definitely not Robin." April 13's eighth episode, "Acapulco," continues a three-part story arc for Specter in the present world of "Suits LA." It's the second time he's reprised the role: He also appeared in the short-lived 2019 spinoff "Pearson," which centered on the law firm's co-founder Jessica Lourdes Pearson (Gina Torres). "There was so much banter in the original," he says of "Suits." "You get an audience in by making it light and witty. People like that interplay. And then you bring out slowly but surely their personal histories that have some darkness. And you punch them in the gut with that and then you make them feel like, 'Oh, I gotta care for this person.' I think 'Suits LA' has more of that." Where does Macht live? 'I'm a citizen of the world' Macht was born in the Bronx and lived in New York's Westchester county until he was 5 before relocating to Los Angeles. After graduating from Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, the actor bounced between the two coasts. He and his wife, Australian American actress Jacinda Barrett, share two kids. The actor is coy about his home base. And while he won't rule out a return to Hollywood, he says he's satisfied with his professional role: co-founder and creative director of Bear Fight Whiskey. Seth MacFarlane is also a founding investor. "Harvey likes whiskey and I like whiskey," he notes of his character, while clarifying that Specter's weapon of choice is Macallan scotch. "I'm able to create some of the storylines and the narratives and what the messaging is. What's your bear fight? Everyone has one." But when it comes to extending his stay in the "Suits" universe, there doesn't seem to be much conflict in Macht's mind. "I had a really wonderful time," he says of his role as a guest actor. "They all welcomed me. It was really sweet. Never say never, but I think they've got their legs."

Suits' Gabriel Macht Explained Why He Agreed To Reprise Harvey Specter For The LA Spinoff, But Now I'm Also Concerned About His Future With The Show
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Last month, roughly five years after Suits ended its nine-season run on USA Network, Gabriel Macht reprised Harvey Specter on Suits LA, which is running on NBC. This was the first of his three guest appearances lined up, with the remaining two happening these next couple Sundays on the 2025 TV schedule. Macht has now explained why he decided to revisit Harvey for this new series, but he also shared something that has me concerned about ever seeing him on LA again. Macht was announced to be stopping by Suits LA last November, and Aaron Korsh, who created both series, explained that when NBC wanted 'one original member' to appear, Harvey 'made the most sense' for the story. Now obviously that wouldn't have been possible had Macht not agreed to do it, but upon learning from Korsh it was envisioned for Harvey to have been friends with Stephen Amell's Ted Black back in 2010, plus the LA team willing to accomodate his schedule, hen was on board. As the actor told THR: I thought about the space in which Suits LA is presented and I thought, 'You know what? I could give something back to the fans because they're so, so hungry for more of this character. And if I can support the show in my way and bring some eyes to it, that might be a really nice thing to pass the baton.' And that's how it all came about. It all worked out. They worked out a way to make it make sense for my family, and here we are. Suits LA's flashback storyline takes place one year before the original Suits began, meaning Harvey Specter hasn't met Mike Ross yet and he's still overflowing with cockiness. But he was also looking out for the people close to him, and that included Ted Black, with whom he played on the same baseball team. So after speaking with his contacts at the NYC DA's office, he informed Ted that there was someone in his office working for Pellegrini, the mob boss Ted was trying to put away. Peacock TV: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearGet easy access to both Suits and Suits LA by subscribing to Peacock TV. Costing as little as $7.99 a month, you can also pay more for Peacock Premium and enjoy ad-free streams and the option to download titles to watch offline Deal Judging by the preview for this Sunday's episode, my wish to see Harvey in the present day on Suits LA has been granted. Beyond that, it's unclear what's in store for the character in his next two episodes, but going off what Gabriel Macht said later in the interview, that may be the last we see of him in the spinoff. This was his response when asked if he was open to returning to the role again: I think it was the right way to come back, and it's the right way to leave it right now. I think I was here, really, to pass the baton to Suits LA, but they're up and running and these guys are solid. They've got some good writing; there's some good stories. There's definitely fans who are going to stay with the show. I don't think they need me back. But never say never! If the opportunity comes where it makes sense — again, I've got a lot of different interests and a lot of ventures going on. Look, I understand that Suits LA is here to follow Ted Black and his supporting cast of characters, including Lex Scott Davis' Erica Rollins, Josh McDermitt's Stuart Lane and Bryan Greenberg's Rick Dodsen. That shouldn't change, and the original Suits cast already had nine seasons to shine. I also understand that Gabriel Macht is keeping busy these days with other endeavors, like his Bear Fight Whiskey brand and creating 'little short narratives.' But at the same time, I would hope that the door doesn't permanently shut on Harvey Specter appearing on Suits LA again. Depending on where this three-episode arc takes us with him, my fingers are crossed that someday he could reappear on the spinoff, ideally still in the present day. That's assuming, of course, that Suits LA lasts past one season, and it does end up running for multiple seasons, I'd even be fine with Macht returning several years down the line rather than force him into Season 2. The good news that Gabriel Macht isn't the only Suits alum who's going to appear on Suits LA. Rick Hoffman is set to reprise Louis Litt, and David Costabile will return as Daniel Hardman. There are six episodes left to go in this debut season, which air Sundays at 9 pm.

Suits LA spinoff called ‘joyless' and ‘unsexy' by critics in brutal reviews
The highly anticipated Suits spinoff, Suits LA, has left critics deeply disappointed. The new NBC legal drama, which premiered Sunday, comes after the original Meghan Markle-starring series concluded its nine-season run in 2019. It welcomes an entirely new cast led by Arrow alum Stephen Amell as former prosecutor-turned-entertainment lawyer Ted Black, who owns a Los Angeles-based law firm facing a major crisis. It also sees the return of Suits star Gabriel Macht, who reprises his role of powerhouse defense attorney Harvey Specter. Macht made his first blink-and-you-miss-it cameo in the reboot's pilot episode, where he was pictured alongside Ted in a photo sitting on the latter's desk. The spinoff was first confirmed in November 2024 after its predecessor experienced a surge in popularity the year prior when it became available on Netflix. It racked up an impressive 57 billion minutes of viewing time. Still, it doesn't appear the new series has conjured the magic of the original. ' Suits LA is flat and joyless,' New York Times critic Margaret Lyons wrote, adding that it felt more like a 'seance' than a sequel. It 'is an attempt to turn an unanswerable question into a little money,' she said. She added that it was 'a big tonal jump from the original series, which was campy and lighthearted.' Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter criticized Amell's performance, saying he 'flounders in NBC's tonally confused, narratively jumbled legal drama.' 'The actual premiere is so awful, and in such baffling ways, that it's hard to imagine a lot of would-be fans sticking around to find out if it gets better,' she said. Lastly, The Guardian's Adrian Horton found the reboot to be 'an unsexy disappointment.' Speaking to People last month about his forthcoming appearance, Macht confirmed that he won't be the only Suits actor returning. 'There's also some other characters that you're going to see that were in the original. I don't know if you've heard about any of them, but there are a few that are coming back. So those might be surprises,' he teased.

'Suits LA:' What to know about 'Suits' spinoff series set on the West Coast, how to watch
'Suits LA:' What to know about 'Suits' spinoff series set on the West Coast, how to watch Move over Harvey Specter, there's a new lawyer in town. "Suits LA," the highly anticipated "Suits" spin-off series, is set to premiere on Sunday, Feb. 23 on NBC. The NBC Original will make its debut nearly six years the original concluded. And fans of the original will get to see Harvey again. "Suits LA" follows Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who has reinvented himself by representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles, according to NBC's logline. In an interview with The New York Times, Aaron Korsh, who created and produced both projects, says he's not sweating the small stuff this time around. Korsh's loyalty is to himself, to the version of the show he wants to make. "I would love other people to like it. I would love it to be a big hit. But it is of a secondary concern to me," Korsh told the Times. "The biggest difference between the original and 'Suits LA' is fans' expectations." Here's what to know about "Suits LA," including the premiere date, cast and how to watch. What is 'Suits LA' about? Ted Black's firm is at a "crisis point" and in order to survive, he must "embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career," NBC says. Black, a former New York prosecutor, moves from East to West to become an entertainment lawyer. "Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can't help but mix their personal and professional lives," the show's description read. "All of this is going on while we slowly unravel the events that years ago led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved." When does 'Suits LA' premiere? How to watch "Suits LA" premieres Sunday, Feb. 23 at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT on NBC, streaming on Peacock the next day. Harvey Specter will make an appearance on 'Suits LA' Gabriel Macht is set to reprise his role as Harvey Specter in three episodes of "Suits LA" this season "for the fans," People reported. "I'm just doing it for the fans. I'm not doing it for me. I've done it 134 times," Macht shared in a January interview with People. Korsh called Macht up a few months ago, offering him the opportunity to appear on the show. "Aaron called me and he just said, 'Look, this is a different world. This is in L.A. It's not New York, but the character of Ted, who Stephen Amell is playing, he came out of New York," Macht told People. "And (Harvey) would've known him when you were in New York. And if there's any world where you might be interested in coming back, let me know. Because I have this idea that could be really great.'" Macht "wasn't expecting" fans would be so excited about his reprisal. "I mean, I don't know. I try not to have high expectations. But yes, people were excited. And I think it'll be fun," he said. Macht won't be the only "Suits" character to make an appearance on the show. "Those might be surprises," he told People. 'Suits LA' cast The "Suits LA" cast includes a handful of actors to play the high-powered attorneys, including "Arrow" actor Stephen Amell, running Black Lane Law. Ted Black, played by Amell, is described as a "charismatic force of nature who puts his own needs above others." Black's buddy and colleague, Stuart Lane (Josh McDermitt) is an "energetic, powerful, focused and self-absorbed." Joining them will be Erica Rollins (Lex Scott Davis) as 'savvy and strong-willed rising star at the firm who is shrewd enough to test the loyalty of her associates only to admire some of them for not having any," per NBC insider. The official cast list for "Suits LA" is listed below: Stephen Amell as Ted Black as Ted Black Lex Scott Davis as Erica Rollins as Erica Rollins Josh McDermitt as Stuart Lane as Stuart Lane Bryan Greenberg as Rick Dodson Other well-known actors, including Victoria Justice and Brian Baumgartner of "The Office," are slated to make cameo appearances this season.
