Gabriel Macht recently reflected on a deeply nostalgic experience while filming the initial scenes of Suits L.A., marking his return to the beloved role of Harvey Specter from the original Suits series. In a conversation with People magazine, Macht shared how shooting the first couple of scenes at Rancho Park—where he had played high school baseball—added an extra layer of sentimentality to his return.
The actor revealed that stepping back into Harvey’s shoes while playing basketball on the same field where he once played as a teenager brought waves of nostalgia. It wasn’t just about returning to the character, but also about being on set with original showrunner Aaron Korsh and many of the same directors and writers, which made the experience even more special.
What truly made the moment unforgettable, however, was the presence of his father, actor Stephen Macht, who joined him on set. Gabriel recalled telling his father, “If you want to see a scene, you should come to this scene.” Stephen sat in the stands, where he used to watch his son play baseball as a child, turning the moment into a heartwarming “full-circle” experience.
For Gabriel, it was a bittersweet and meaningful moment. He said, “It was extremely nostalgic on that level,” reflecting on how coming back to such a familiar space, recreating a character that has made such an impact on the public, felt like an emotional journey. Fans of Suits are equally excited to see Harvey Specter back on screen, and the anticipation around this spinoff show has fueled an outpouring of joy on social media.
Macht’s return to Harvey Specter on Suits L.A. is not just a reunion for the character, but a powerful, emotional callback for both the actor and the fans who have loved the character for years. The blend of nostalgia, family connection, and the full-circle nature of the experience makes this moment one that Macht will surely cherish.
