Although Suits had a successful run on the USA Network from 2011 to 2019, the fact of the matter is a lot of people didn’t learn about the show until it became available to watch in 2023 with a Netflix subscription . The legal drama ended up becoming a massive streaming success , leading many of its actors being asked about their thoughts on Suits ’ surge in popularity. Now we can add Eric Roberts to that list, who also talked in an interview about why the series was so difficult to work on.
The actor whose extensive resume includes Runaway Train , The Dark Knight , Heroes and The Righteous Gemstones , to name just a few, appeared in nine episodes of Suits as Charles Forstman, a multi-billionaire investor who chiefly served as a Season 4 antagonist to Gabriel Macht’s Harvey Specter, Patrick J. Adams’ Mike Ross and the law firm’s other main characters. While chatting with ComingSoon , Roberts noted how he’s never been involved in a project that’s had “that kind of delayed reaction” in becoming a hit of that scale, to the point that “12-year-old girls were saying hi” to him because they loved him in Suits . He then said:
Suits was definitely dialogue-heavy, though that’s to be expected in a show about lawyers, their clients and the white collar people, like Charles Forstman, who make their lives complicated. But even by those standards, Eric Roberts admitted that his time on Suits was difficult because of the lengthy monologues and how often lines were being changed. Still, it’s clear he enjoyed his time on Suits from 2014 to 2019, and has been especially impressed with how it’s taken off in just the last year.
