Suits star Gabriel Macht has revealed that he often finds himself apologizing to fans who changed their entire career paths because of the hit drama. The acclaimed legal drama aired for nine seasons between 2011 – 2019, and also starred Meghan Markle, Patrick J Adams, Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres and Rick Hoffman.
It focused on college dropout Mike Ross (Patrick) as he tricked his way into a job at New York law firm Pearson Hardman, working as the associate to cocky and ridiculously dapper lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel) – despite not having a law degree.

After a hugely successful return to Netflix, a spin-off series titled Suits: LA, will be released on February 23 – with Gabriel reprising his role as Harvey for a brief stint. In a new interview ahead of the series premiere, the 53-year-old opened up about the huge reaction from viewers, and what he tells those who went to law school because of the episodes.

‘There are so many kids that have gone to law school because of the show — because they think it’s fast-moving, there’s family, there’s loyalties, it’s cool, it’s slick. People are witty. There’s a lot of drama, all this kind of stuff,’ he told People Magazine.
‘When people come up to me and they’re like, “I went to law school because of you,” I always apologize profusely. ‘[He tells them]: “If you like to read, that is great because you’re going to sit with a book, like this, for hours.’”. ‘The thing about this show… It’s commitment. People have watched 134 episodes, which is our nine seasons. They’ve watched it multiple times. And so for me, that is fanatical a little bit.’.
