Actor Gabriel Macht, known for playing lawyer Harvey Specter in “Suits,” will return to the role in a special appearance in the new series spun off from the original attraction. He will appear in three episodes of “Suits: LA,” marking his first acting role since the original series ended in 2019.
The actor announced his return via a video on Instagram, in which he wore Harvey’s famous suit while the “Suits” soundtrack played in the background. “When an old friend needs help… it’s time to make things right and make them right,” Macht wrote in the caption.
Link to new storyline
In “Suits: LA”, Harvey Specter will help Ted Black, the new protagonist played by Stephen Amell (“Arrow”), with whom he shares a past as a prosecutor in New York. The plot of the series revolves around Ted, who will have to overcome crises in his law firm in Los Angeles, facing personal and professional dilemmas.
Aaron Korsh, creator of “Suits”, also produces the spin-off, ensuring the continuity of the universe of the original series. In addition to Amell, the main cast includes Lex Scott Davis (“Florida Man”), Josh McDermitt (“The Walking Dead”) and Bryan Greenberg (“How to Make it in America”).
Impact and context
Ever since “Suits” gained global popularity on streaming, rumors have begun to circulate about the participation of the original actors in the spin-off. Macht, who has taken a break from acting to live with his family in the UK, became the first of the classic cast to confirm his appearance.
At the end of “Suits”, Harvey leaves his career as a corporate lawyer to join Mike Ross’s (Patrick J. Adams) law firm in Seattle alongside his wife Donna (Sarah Rafferty). His return in “Suits: LA” promises to bring elements of nostalgia to fans and open the door for new appearances.
