Speaking on the KFC Radio interview, Suits star Rick Hoffman shared his thoughts on Meghan Markle's impact on the show. Her rise to royalty, he noted, had made one of his coworkers "ultra famous". Markle's talent and contribution to the show's success were undeniable, but Hoffman emphasized that her newfound fame had sparked a curiosity that went beyond her acting credentials.
As Hoffman saw it, Netflix had seized on this curiosity with a clever move, doing something "brilliant" by showcasing a documentary about Markle's tumultuous life, referring to the record-breaking Harry & Meghan bombshell. This, in turn, generated immense interest, and the platform's decision to re-release Suits had been a shrewd cherry on top, capitalizing on the public's fascination with the Duchess of Sussex.
The star did not stop there. All he had was appreciation and praises gushing in for the Duchess, just as Gabriel Macht did a few days ago.
