Suits LAis ready to shake hands and make deals with real Hollywood A-listers.
“These are entertainment lawyers, so they have entertainment clients,” showrunnerAaron Korshsays.

Sometimes their cases will be silly, and sometimes they’ll be serious.
Usually, there’ll be an emotional component underlying the case.”

You name it, these are the people that he represents the A-list, A-list, A-list people.”
Different people hopefully will be coming and joining us throughout.”
Amell says they hope to cast some well-known actors for longer arcs throughout the first season and potentially beyond.
“Okay, I’ll remember that you didn’t take a chance.
I won’t hold a grudge, but I’ll remember.”
“He’s an important client of Ted’s,” Korsh reveals.
“When he passed away, it was a very sad thing for all of us.
Does that meanSuits LAis angling to get Washington for a guest star role?
Denzel, open invitation, you heard it here first,” Amell says with a laugh.
“He actually did give us permission to use that photo.
We asked and he said, ‘Sure.’
Thats a good sign, but I think [the jump from] photo-to-cameo is a stretch.”
“Listen, you never know what people are fans of, right?”
Suits LApremieres Sunday, Feb. 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
