"Suits" Enlists Jay Harrington for Multi-Episode Arc (Exclusive)

"Suits" viewers who have long shipped Harvey (Gabriel Macht) and Donna (Sarah Rafferty) finally getting together are about to have another little hiccup to deal with, this time in the form of Jay Harrington.

The "Better Off Ted" and "Coupling" actor is set for a two-episode arc on the USA drama as Mark Meadows, Donna’s ex-boyfriend. Given Harvey’s recent relationship with his former shrink Paula (Christina Cole) this season, and the lengths he’s gone to in order to hide that relationship from Donna, it seems as though Mark’s reappearance will come at quite the inconvenient time for the coworkers.

“We have discussed Jay for many roles over the years because our casting director Bonnie Zane knows I’m a huge fan of his from Better Off Ted and other things,” "Suits" creator and showrunner Aaron Korsh tells THR.

“Often he was unavailable. A few months ago he was pitched for the role of Tommy Bratton, but we ended up going with Al Sapienza. A few weeks later we were writing the role of Mark Meadows and that was perfect. It requires someone in that age rage who can be charming, can be handsome, and someone who can be a challenge sexually with Harvey for Donna.

So I was glad we didn’t go with him for Tommy Bratton. Sometimes you end up landing in the role that you should.”
