Gabriel Macht Apologizes to ‘Suits’ Fans for Misleading Them to Law School

by

As a movie enthusiast, I must say that the TV show “Suits” paints an intriguing picture of the high-stakes world of lawyering, filled with sharp suits, witty banter, cutthroat politics, and unapologetic courtroom confidence. However, it’s essential to remember that this glamorous portrayal is a far cry from reality. The show’s lead actor, Gabriel Macht, has had to issue several apologies for perpetuating this misconception among fans.

In the series, Macht brings to life the charismatic Harvey Specter, a character who epitomizes the suave lawyer persona that “Suits” is famous for. This portrayal has left an indelible mark on the show’s dedicated fan base.

In an interview with People Magazine, Gabriel Macht admitted that numerous fans have enrolled in law school inspired by the TV show “Suits.” However, when these individuals encounter the true demands of law school, Macht can only express regret for Harvey Specter’s persuasive portrayal. Essentially, he said, “A lot of young people have entered law school due to the series,” adding that they believe it offers a fast-paced environment with family, loyalty, glamour, and intrigue. What these enthusiasts may not realize is that a profession where one’s actions can impact people’s freedom involves much more than just looking stylish and having casual encounters. Seems like “Suits” fans might have underestimated the gravity of the legal world.

When someone approaches me and says, ‘I chose law school due to your influence,’ I always express my deep regrets, as Macht put it.

In my experience, being a successful lawyer involves more than just persuasive presentation skills; it requires an in-depth understanding of one’s specialized area of law. Interestingly, I’ve found that the key to mastering this knowledge is through extensive reading.

Gabriel Macht Doesn’t Know Why ‘Suits’ Is Still Popular

In 2011, the TV show “Suits” made its debut on USA Network. The story revolves around Mike Ross, portrayed by Patrick J. Adams, who manages to land a job at the prestigious law firm Pearson Hardman despite never attending Harvard or any other law school. An intriguing twist is that he relies on his exceptional memory rather than formal education. The series also featured Sarah Rafferty, Meghan Markle, Rick Hoffman, and Gina Torres in its cast.

Even though Suits ended in 2019 after nine seasons, its addition to Netflix last year sparked a significant comeback. This comeback shattered records for several weeks following its release on the streaming platform. Macht noted that this resurgence brought about “a whole new energy” around the show. While he’s unsure of the origin of the dedicated fanbase, he speculated, “I’m not sure if it was Netflix, or TikTok, or perhaps a cosmic alignment of events, but it certainly exploded in popularity.

As a film enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that this year, I’ll get to witness the grand comeback of the beloved series, “Suits”, with its first spin-off titled “Suits LA”. This new adventure features some exciting cast members like Stephen Amell, Lex Scott Davis, Josh McDermitt, and Bryan Greenberg. It’s been confirmed that our favorite Harvey Specter, played by Macht, will also make an appearance. The premiere of Suits LA is scheduled on NBC on February 23, with Peacock streaming it the day after.
