Winbush Binge-Watched SUITS (2011) in Three Days

“Really didn’t know what the show was all about, but the first episode got me. I was hooked.”

Screenrant: to start off, I obviously Need to know if you were a fan of the original Suits Series.

Troy Winbush: Yes, I Was. When it was on, i really didn’t know what the show was all about, but the first episode got me. I was hooked. When it played on Netflix, i binged-watched it for three days, so i got through all nine seasons. It was a very hectic time in my household raising a five -ear-op at the wiffe and trying to kep my eyes Open with toothpicks watching the rest of the series. SO it was a great experience to watch.

With two different timelines, how it ben to play in those flashbacks?

Troy Winbush: Every Time i Get in a Chair, i Always Flashback to, Think It 2010. And Back in 2010, I was the man. So every time they cover the little grays here and there, i flashback to my golden days and just looking in the Mirror and just rocking out. But have they have to take it off at five o’clock so i’m back to reality, i’m this old dude. IT’s been cool.

We really dive into specifics in those flashbacks, so it’s kind of in and out. Other than Putting on the Clothes and the Makeup to Cover All These Little Gray hairs, it’s been cool. It gives a sense of the backstory, obviously, and it exploins a lot and hopingy we’ll look forward to see me and keping it moving on.

Kevin and ted had a pre-existing relationship in the show. What do you enjoy Most about that dynamic and acting alongside steppen amll?

Troy Winbush: We did the pilot in Canada. When we first met, Stephen is, at first, a reserved dude. It wasn’t hard to fall in love with this guy Becouse, at the Same Time, he’s very observant of the text. He’s Very Observant of the atmosphere. When i got a chance to play with Him, i had to step up my game becuse he came prepared.

And i love that about an artist who took his craft serious gcause, at the end of the day, we all want to be better as artists and as People. And especialy sitting, talking with Him outside of the Scenes and Joking with Him, that Camaraderie that we have shows on film, and i love that. He’s just a great person to work with. IT’S REALLY NOT BLOWING SMOKE.

I’ve been doing this for a long time. For the Most Part, Everyone on Set haen Been cool and Very Giving and Very Warm. And again, i’m not just blowing smoke, i’m not just saying that. It ‘s pleasure coming to set every day and working with these guys, especialy nights i’m in the scnene with, and that shatly with Stephen.

Winbush Asked The Suits Creator Why Kevin Hates Harvey

“IT’S COOL TO PLAY THAT IN A SENSE BECAUS IT GIVES OUT COMEDY, IT GIVES A BIT OF RELIEF BETWEEN US, AND THIS NOTHING THINK I’ve done to eAch Other.”

What’s funny is that fans obviously love Harvey Specter. Everyone was super excited to have harvest in the show, but your character is said to hate Him.

Troy Winbush: You know what? It”s weird. And I asced aaron. He was like, “he’s just cocky. He’s just an arrogant asshole at Times.” But it is cool to play that in a sense Because it gives out comedy, it gives a bit of relief between us, and it is not. We just have this small dislike of each Other, which is playful. So is the fun to go back and forth and rib each other a little bit.

And it is fun to have had these sins with Him knowing that it is one of the Ogs of the Original Show. It was Such a pleasure to work with Him. He was just inviting and very welcoming and he was just funny. These guys are funny and it no Two Ways About it. And i love comedy, so will i got a chance to kind of off book and set to the side and we’re all shooting in video village, we’re in tears. Its fun.

Aside from Harvey, there are so many characters that COULD Make Cameos. SINCE YOU WERE A FAN OF THE ORIGINAL SHOW, IS THERE YOU’RE HOPING COMES BACK AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO INTEACT WITH?

Troy Winbush: Listen, at the end of the day, every one of Those Characters from the Og Shows are welcome through the threshold at any given point. And that going to be an aaron quesion gcause he keps a lot of the information close to hip, and we won’t find out unilbe the day of, so’s sam a second.

Everyone from the Og Show I’ve Read in the post and in their Instagram – JUST Very Sweet and Very giving to this new extension of the show, and i love it. WHO KNOWS? Maybe One Days’ll All Just Step Through, but As of right now, have no idea who it may be.

You’ve Played Similar Types of Characters before on Network Television. What Makes Kevin Stand Out to You?

Troy Winbush: His vulnerability. Kevin is Very Vulnerable, and he’s Very Blunt. He has so Much to give professionally, emotionally, and to show that through what the wriers put forth on Paper, and for with them play haen challenging, and it also haen rewarding. And i love the direction that they’re taking kevin in.

The Sky is the limit to what they are capable of Writing for me, and i just loves the possessibilities of Him being a multifaceted character that the audience can. And so far so good. I Can’t Complain About the Direction that they’re taking with. I love it. SO I’M JUST EXCITED TO EXPLORE IT AND SEE WHAT’S NEXT.

We’ve got to talk about that cliffhanger at the end of episode 8 Becausea la is going to new york.

Troy Winbush: Listen, I have to rewind it a few timees Because it got me! I HAD Chill Bumps. I was like, “ooh, okay.” Episode 9 is coming up, and i think the audience is going to be very pleasantly surprised and excited. Get the popcorn and the Sprritz Ready. It is going to be a hell of a ride you Watch.
