Suits LA continues its appearance of original Suits characters in reunion style. Everyone’s favorite former Pearson Hardman partner is making a return. David Costabile’s Daniel Hardman is set to appear in the newly-premiered spin-off series on NBC. Costabile will be a guest star in one of the upcoming episodes, but it’s not clear which one — keeping viewers of the American Legal Drama curious to see when he will pop up. The actor is one of a few alumni to appear on Suits LA, following Gabriel Macht and Rick Hoffman. In the original series, Costabile’s character was a bit of a problem for Harvey Specter, played by Gabriel Macht, and Jessica Pearson, portrayed by Gina Torres.
In Suits, Daniel Hardman was a partner at Pearson Hardman. That is, until he was forced to leave the firm after everyone found out he was using money to fund an affair. Hardman threw away all of his hard work because he just had to have an affair. He claimed that he was using the money to help take care of his dying wife, but the truth came out eventually. You’d think that was the end, but for Hardman he wasn’t going down (even more) without a fight. The character appeared throughout the series’ run to regain access to the firm, eventually becoming a problem for Harvey and Jessica.

While Hardman is one of Costabile’s most known roles, his resume is full of characters in a variety of genres in both television shows and movies. From parts in popular TV dramas such as The Wire, Breaking Bad, and Billions, a successful drama without Costabile seems almost non-existent.
