• Rafferty & Macht’s favorite story: a thread •

“Gabriel sent me the script, he’s the reason, so I pay him commission”

“We were sitting in the theater, you were sitting behind me and I turned around and I looked at you and you looked like the Cheshire cat... And I knew we'd be friends forever”

“Gabriel and I have... We’ve known each other for almost 20 years”

“When you’re acting with your best friend...”

“He says 20 years, it’s 19! 18 and a half (...) there’s a lot of laughter, we have a lot of issues with giggling”

“He’s always like ‘it’s been 20 years’ and I’m like ‘no! Keep it to yourself, buster!’ but yeah, we’ve been friends, I like to say, since we were kids”

“In real life, Sarah’s one of my closest friends. We can’t stop laughing on each other’s side. When the camera’s on her side, I’m dying laughing. When you’re working with one of your closest friends is very hard to keep a straight face”

“Your bff on set?”
Sarah: Gabriel. We’ve known each other for 20 years.

"I did know that my old friend Gabriel Macht was gonna be playing Harvey Specter"

"You and Sarah have known each other for a long, long time, right? Something like 20 years?"
S: NO!
"You met when you were one year old!"
S: Yes, YES! Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel... Like, 18 years. Math is hard. 17.
G: 17?
S: I don’t know, something like that.
G: 27!

“I know Gabriel is frequently in Tom Ford and he looks amazing and he’s an old friend of mine. We spend a lot of time in jeans, t-shirts and bathing suits, hanging out, so when we get to work and he has that on, I’m like WHO ARE YOU?”

“Gabriel and I? (....) We met in the summer of 1993 at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts. So, I mean, Gabriel was a bridesmaid at my wedding, he’s one of my best friends, their parents are like my emergency contact number in California”

“As you know, I’ve been friends with Gabriel for 20 years, so everything’s really comfortable”

“I look forward to it every year”

“Thank you Gabriel for 22 consecutive birthday songs”

“I’ve known Sarah for, you know, 15-20 years (...) and I trust her completely”

“Harvey Specter’s view for the last 20 plus years”
“We’ve come a long way baby”

“And in my real life Gabriel and I have been friends for almost 20 years now”

“We go back 20 years and our daughters are best friends, so we lived in the same house”

“Gabriel Macht was an old friend who I met back at the Williamstown Theatre Festival (...) knowing that I would have the chance to work with him was a huge incentive. He is such a wonderful actor and someone I trust so much, so that was another aspect that was really great”

"I feel incredibly connected to Gabriel. It certainly doesn't feel like work to act with him, it's such a pleasure. He's one of my oldest friends and such a great actor"

"I encouraged the producers to see her audition. She had, I think, one line in the pilot"

"I joined one of my best friends on the show, you know, Gabriel and I have been friends... we met in 1993 and we've been great friends, he was a bridesmaid at my wedding, and he sent me the script to Suits (...) so it was amazing to go on this ride together"

"I think that's one of the reasons why my old friend Gabriel Macht laughs a lot when we're- we both laugh equally when we're doing a scene together (...) we've known each other for 20 years, so to see each other playing these roles, I think it cracks us up"

“When you’re acting with your best friend...”

(reposting 'cause twitter is annoying and cut the video up there)

"It was because of Gabriel that I was cast in the role of Donna, he gave me the script and asked me to audition for this part. I think what the writers saw in us was this intimacy that we have because we've known each other since we were kids"

“Sarah and I have known each other for many years. We started out at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in 1993 where we did three plays together”

Not the Williamstown Theatre Festival story, but I’m adding this one to this thread anyway because they’re adorable

"We met at Williamstown Theatre Festival when we were students (...) Sarah and I (...) had to put up posters in different parts of the town and Sarah had a car, so we started going together, taking long walks, talking, laughing, and here we are today"

"We met back in 1993, basically in like a summer stock theatre situation, in Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts (...) we've been roommates and all those things just to find ourselves here doing this show" (6:17-7:13) https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/mediaweek/mediaweek-suits-podcast-QNS3dyUwb_v/

“We met back in 1993 doing theatre at Williamstown Theatre Festival and we were fast friends, we've always had a relationship like we're brother and sister, we've been roommates so, when... Oh, and (...) Gabriel gave me the script and asked me to audition for the role of Donna”

"So we met in '93, the summer of '93 at the Williamstown Theatre Festival and we were in a theatre company together. He's an unbelievable theatre actor. He's my friend, whom I really, really, really trust"

“That's what it feels like going back to work, it's an incredibly safe space and, you know, I had that with Gabriel before we started because I've known Gabriel for 20 years so, you know, from the get-go on Suits, I had that kind of comfort with him”

“I also met Gabriel Macht (...) years later he was the one who gave me the script. I had just done a pilot, that pilot didn’t get picked up (...) I was hanging out with his parents and he just like, read me”
