With the new season of "Suits" premiering in less than a month, it has been revealed that Charles Barkley will make a cameo.
It has been confirmed that the NBA legend will make an appearance in the third episode of Season 5. The celebrated Hall of Famer and former power forward will play himself in the show and will seek the help of Harvey.
Barkley has been a fan of the show ever since it started and has already noted that he is excited to make a guest appearance in the popular USA show. In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Barkley said, "It's really cool for me, because when they heard me bragging about the show they invited me and I was like, 'I gotta make it work.' Right now with playoffs we're in our busy time and the only day we have off is Friday. ... My day off, we're going up there to Toronto."
The former NBA player is currently an NBA analyst and has appeared in "Mike & Mike," "Good Morning America" and the "2015 NBA All-Star All-Style."
"Suits" has been on TV since 2011 and tells the story of Mike Ross, a brilliant college-dropout, who finds himself a job working with Harvey Specter, one of New York City's best lawyers. The show stars Gabriel Macht as Harvey ("Behind Enemy lines," "The Spirit"), Patrick J. Adams ("Weather Girl"), Rick Hoffman ("Hostel") and Gina Torres ("Serenity"). Ever since the show premiered in 2011, the seasons have improved and last season scored rave reviews obtaining a 100 percent aggregate score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Critics raved about its improved dialogue and its pacing. The new season promises to be bigger and continue the sharp tone that has been seen throughout the past four years.
