ScreenRant: To start off, I obviously need to know if you were a fan of the originalSuitsseries.
Troy Winbush: Yes, I was.
So it was a great experience to watch.
Suits LA follows Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor who now represents influential clients in Los Angeles. As his law firm faces a critical juncture, Ted must navigate the challenges of a role he once disdained, balancing moral dilemmas with the demands of high-stakes legal battles.
With two different timelines, how has it been to play in those flashbacks?
And back in 2010, I was the man.
It’s been cool.
We really dive into specifics in those flashbacks, so it’s kind of in and out.
Kevin and Ted had a pre-existing relationship in the show.
What do you enjoy most about that dynamic and acting alongside Stephen Amell?
Troy Winbush: We did the pilot in Canada.
When we first met, Stephen is, at first, a reserved dude.
He’s very observant of the atmosphere.
He’s just a great person to work with.
It’s really not blowing smoke.
I’ve been doing this for a long time.
For the most part, everyone on set has been cool and very giving and very warm.
And again, I’m not just blowing smoke, I’m not just saying that.
What’s funny is that fans obviously love Harvey Specter.
Everyone was super excited to have Harvey in the show, but your character is said to hate him.
Troy Winbush: You know what?
And I asked Aaron.
He was like, “He’s just cocky.
He’s just an arrogant asshole at times.”
We just have this small dislike of each other, which is playful.
So it’s fun to go back and forth and rib each other a little bit.
It was such a pleasure to work with him.
He was just inviting and very welcoming and he was just funny.
These guys are funny and its no two ways about it.
Aside from Harvey, there are so many characters that could make cameos.
You’ve played similar types of characters before on web connection television.
What makes Kevin stand out to you?
Troy Winbush: His vulnerability.
Kevin is very vulnerable, and he’s very blunt.
And I love the direction that they’re taking Kevin in.
And so far so good.
I can’t complain about the direction that they’re taking me.
So I’m just excited to explore it and see what’s next.
Troy Winbush: Listen, I had to rewind it a few times because it got me!
I had chill bumps.
I was like, “Ooh, okay.”
Get the popcorn and the spritz ready.
It’s going to be a hell of a ride when you watch.
