‘It’s Pretty Wild’: The Suits Scene Patrick J. Adams Believes Changed His Life Forever

As a dedicated fan who has witnessed Patrick J. Adams‘ remarkable journey, I can confidently say that his portrayal of Mike Ross in Suits was nothing short of a game-changer. The scene where Mike meets Harvey Specter for the first time is undeniably the moment that catapulted him to stardom and altered the course of his life. Before Suits, Adams was a promising talent with notable roles, but it was this series that skyrocketed him to fame.


Despite recently gracing our screens in series such as The Right Stuff, A League of Their Own, and Plan B, it’s clear that Patrick J. Adams will always be strongly associated with his role as Mike Ross on Suits, which aired from 2011 to 2019 on USA Network. This connection grew stronger last year when Suits became extremely popular on Netflix, leading NBC to approve the spinoff Suits L.A. Reflecting on his time portraying Mike, Adams highlighted the Suits scene that he feels had a profound and lasting impact on his career.

Adams has collaborated with Sarah Rafferty, a fellow star from Suits, for “Sidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast”. In this podcast, they watch the series together for the first time, share anecdotes from behind-the-scenes, and chat with special guests who were part of Suits, both in front of and behind the camera.

Man, experiencing a pivotal moment on camera that alters your life’s trajectory is something surreal! This particular instance marks the turning point for me. The show has been instrumental in shaping my entire existence – it reshaped my career path, influenced my work style, and even transformed my personal relationships. It’s safe to say that much of what transpired in my life wouldn’t have occurred without this show. If I had to encapsulate it all, I’d point to a specific scene between Harvey and Mike right here in this room as the defining moment. Crazy stuff, really!

Prior to starring in “Suits”, Patrick J. Adams primarily gained recognition for his small part in the film “Old School” and guest appearances on shows like “Friday Night Lights” and “NCIS”. However, it was his role in “Suits” that truly skyrocketed his fame. The initial scene between Mike and Harvey significantly contributed to this success, as its impact likely influenced the level of interest viewers had in following the show. If this scene hadn’t resonated as strongly, it’s possible that fewer people would have remained engaged with “Suits”, which could have potentially shortened its run on USA Network.

For nine seasons, Sarah Rafferty continued her role as Donna Paulsen on Suits, whereas Patrick J. Adams, who played Mike Ross, left as a series regular at the close of Season 7 concurrently with Meghan Markle, who portrayed Rachel Zane. Unlike Markle, Adams made a reappearance in a recurring role during Season 9. The main cast on Suits also included Rick Hoffman and Gina Torres when Adams was part of the show; later additions to the starring lineup featured Amanda Schull, Dulé Hill, and Katherine Heigl.

Beyond having all nine seasons of Suits available through a Netflix subscription, you can also stream it with a Peacock subscription. As for Suits L.A., its premiere date hasn’t been announced on NBC yet. However, if Patrick J. Adams, Sarah Rafferty or any of the original Suits cast members are confirmed to return for the spinoff, we’ll make sure to keep you updated.
