‘Suits’ season 4 spoilers: Gabriel Macht’s father returning for two episodes

There is something very fun that comes with Stephen Macht appearing on “Suits,” and it may be in part the sole fact that such father / son connections on TV shows are rare, especially when they are done as naturally as this one is.

Gabriel Macht’s father will appear in two of the final six episodes of season 4 as Harvard Law Professor Gerard, and could potentially once again do some work alongside his son. This news was first issued by The Hollywood Reporter, who also had the following statement from the elder Macht:

“Reprising my role as Professor Gerard on Suits is an opportunity of a lifetime for a father. As a former drama professor who once coached 15-year-old Gabriel in the role of Cyrano de Bergerac, I now experience the reality of a role reversal. Gabriel coaches me as Professor Gerard; the student has become the teacher … That is reflective of our on-screen and off-screen journeys. Because we are real-life father and son, we share an edgy, raw emotional honesty that drives our scenes. And that’s just plain fun!” 

Macht joins what is a pretty nice collection of great guest stars for the upcoming back six, which also includes the return of some other, still-to-be-announced familiar faces. Also, you will for sure get a chance to see Patrick J. Adams’ real-life fiancee Troian Bellisario for a guest spot that will take him into his past.

There is no confirmed return date for “Suits” at the moment, but we feel pretty confident that you are looking at either January or March. Stay tuned for more.
