Carving an entire career out of your books to catapult into Hollywood as a well-established personality is not everyone’s cup of tea. While individuals tend to be the jack of all trades, only a few stand out as the enigmas of the risk. And Justin Peacock undoubtedly fell into the same category of higher order. A former lawyer who switched his career to follow his passion, he decorated his entire profession with accolades along the way. His best works, Suits starring Meghan Markle, and The Lincoln Lawyer have proved to be two power players for their platforms. However, recent reports have unfortunately put an end to the glorious lifespan.

As reported by Deadline, the 52-year-old died of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, citing the LA County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office. His popularity recently witnessed a massive surge as Suits starring the Duchess skyrocketed on Netflix charts.

Giving his fame the right direction, Peacock spent the last few months of his life fighting for justice to be rendered to all his fellow writers. Indulging himself in the mass protest, Peacock gave his best to raise his voice for the future of the profession he loved and cared so much for. The union has thus called for a joint about to the writer. The strikers have urged to honor the writer-producer with a donation to the strike fund, in lieu of flowers.

Speaking of strikes, the Duchess has too been out under the fire for her silence as an actress. 

Meghan Markle could not reciprocate the support that SAG-AFTRA showered her with

It is no secret that the Duchess had gone through troubled waters having stepped into the royal premises. As family relations with the in-laws took a toll, the ravaging UK media did the Duchess no good. The life she gave up her career for did not seem to be the own Markle had signed up for.

However, Markle, on the other hand, has maintained a deafening silence over the biggest strike that has struck Hollywood.
