I Just Found Out Suits Would Have Been A Completely Different Show If Gabriel Macht Hadn’t Stuck His Neck Out

Film

As Suits’ resurgence continues, with Season 9 arriving next month to Netflix subscribers, the cast participated in some Super Bowl commercials earlier this year. Now, two of the OG cast members want to capitalize on the show’s success, as Patrick J. Adams and Sarah Rafferty are launching a Suits podcast in the near future. However, if not for Gabriel Macht, Rafferty wouldn’t have been on the series, and the legal drama would have looked a whole lot different.

Rafferty’s Donna Paulsen was Harvey Specter’s secretary-turned COO of the law firm and confidante throughout most of the show. Since Donna and Harvey had a special bond, both personal and professional, it would make sense that whoever played Donna would have to be perfect for the part that was initally just going to be a small part. Former USA Network president Jeff Wachtel recalled casting Rafferty at ATX Festival (via Deadline) and how it came to be, all thanks to Macht:

Gabriel called and said, ‘Look, there’s this unbelievable actress that I know, and I know we’re casting Donna, and she’s not a regular, but it’s the person who’s going to be my assistant. I would love you to read her. They’re talking, and she just is looking from one to the other, and you just feel the glue. Like I just want to hang out with these people. So it’s just wonderful how things can come together in unexpected ways.
