Actor Gabriel Macht is a renowned actor thanks to his appearance in Netflix’s popular legal drama Suits. The actor started working at the very young age of 8, and ever since then, he has appeared in many films and television series. However, it was his role in Suits as Harvey Specter that made him a household name. The series ran for nine seasons and 136 episodes and Specter appeared till the very end.
The series gained him widespread recognition, but since then, he hasn’t appeared in any films or series. This comes as a surprise to his fans as before appearing in Suits, the actor was quite active in the entertainment industry. He has appeared in films like Bad Company, The Recruit, Behind Enemy Lines, and The Good Shepherd.
However, 2019 was the last year when fans got to see his performance. After giving an impeccable performance in Suits, it’s obvious that fans must be yearning to see more of Macht. However, it seems like the actor has a solid reason for this hiatus.
The reason for this hiatus is his personal life. After enjoying fame and fortune for his stellar performance, the actor has happily stepped down from his acting career and is now focusing on his family. Earlier in an interview in 2019, Macht claimed:
“We invested so much of our lives and as great as an experience [Suits] has been — it has been such a blessing for so many of us… — I have a real sense of freedom having now finished it, and I’m happy… I want to put some creative heart, more focus and energy into [being with] my wife and my family.”
Since there has been no announcement from Macht regarding any upcoming projects, it can be assumed that the actor is enjoying his leisure time with his family.
