Suits actor gave brutal response when asked why Meghan Markle didn't join cast at reunion
It might have been half a decade since Suits wrapped up, but the beloved legal drama is still as popular as ever.
The hit show got a new lease of life after it became available to stream on Netflix last year, as this welcomed a host of new fans into the fold while giving long-time viewers another excuse to rewatch it again.
They just don't make them like Mike Ross anymore, do they?

For those who have somehow resisted the urge to binge-watch all nine seasons of Suits, he's the guy who it all centres around - a quick-witted college dropout with a photographic memory who blags his way into a top law firm.
Despite never attending law school, Patrick J. Adams' memorable character manages to impress all the hotshots at the firm while keeping his secret under wraps...but as you can imagine, there's more than a few close calls.
Meghan Markle (Rachel Zane), Gabriel Macht (Harvey Specter), Gina Torres (Jessica Pearson), Rick Hoffman (Louis Litt), and Sarah Rafferty (Donna Paulsen) make up the rest of the cast, and it really is a great watch from start to finish.
Much to the excitement of fans, the Suits gang all reunited at the Golden Globes in January this year, but one royal star didn't make it to the get-together on the red carpet.
Markle - who revealed she would not be reprising her role as the paralegal-turned-lawyer shortly before revealing her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017 - was sadly not in attendance like the rest of her co-stars.
And when one of her former cast mates was asked about her absence, they didn't mince their words.
Actress Gina Torres, who played the tough-talking managing partner at the fictional law firm, was chatting to reporter Marc Malkin and said that the Suits squad have a group chat which is still thriving.
She explained that they were all 'texting each other' incessantly after being asked to present an award together at the Golden Globes, adding: "Our text thread is insane right now, it's exciting."
Malkin then asked who had got in touch with Markle to request her presence - and Torres gave a brutally honest answer.
She responded: "We don’t have her number. We just don’t."
Elaborating on the Suits cast's lack of communication with the Duchess of Sussex, the Firefly actress added: "She'll see, she'll watch. She'll be happy that we're here."
So, no bad blood - it just sounds like Markle has stopped updating her old pals when she gets a new phone number.
Adams, who played her on-screen love interest for the best part of seven years, pretty much confirmed this fan theory during an episode of his new podcast called Sidebar.
He revealed that since she got hitched to Prince Harry, Markle has been on a 'very different' path in life to the rest of them so they are 'not really in touch' these days.
However, she did hit Adams up to congratulate him on Sidebar when she got wind of his latest venture and offered to 'help in any way' she could.
The actor said it was 'so lovely to still have that kind of support and friendship after so many years apart' - and I'm sure fans of Mike Ross and Rachel Zane will be buzzing to hear that they still hold a candle for one another.
Platonically, of course!
