Gabriel Swann Macht (born January 22, 1972) is an American actor and film producer best known for playing the character Harvey Specter on the USA Network series Suits, as well as for his role as The Spirit in the eponymous 2008 film adaptation.
Early life[edit]
Macht was born in The Bronx, New York, to Jewish parents.[1] He is the son of Suzanne Victoria Pulier, a museum curator and archivist, and actor Stephen Macht. He has three siblings: Jesse, a musician (who appeared on The Next Great American Band), Ari Serbin, and Julie. Macht was raised in California from the age of five. After graduating from Beverly Hills High School, he attended Carnegie Mellon College of Fine Arts, where he graduated in 1994.[2] During his time at Carnegie Mellon, he became a member of Delta Upsilonfraternity.[3]
Career[edit]
Macht was nominated for the Best Young Motion Picture Actor Award after playing his first role at age eight in the film Why Would I Lie? under the stage name Gabriel Swann.[4]
He has appeared in many film and television roles including A Love Song for Bobby Long, The Good Shepherd, Because I Said So, The Recruit, and Archangel. For the 2001 film Behind Enemy Lines, Macht spent a week at sea filming on the flight deck, corridors, and hangar bay #3 of the USS Carl Vinson. Macht played the title role in Frank Miller's 2008 adaptation of Will Eisner's comic creation The Spirit. Although the film was a failure upon theatrical release, the film and Macht himself both gained a cult following.[5][6]
In July 2010, it was announced that Macht had signed on to star in the new USA Network drama Suits, which was originally known under the working title A Legal Mind.[7] The show has been a success for Gabriel and USA Network and was renewed for a ninth season that started in July 2019.[8] Although not listed in the credits on the official USA Network page, Macht's name along with co-star Patrick J. Adams' name appeared as 'co-producers' during the end credits of each episode during season 3.[9]
Personal life[edit]
Macht married Australian-born actress Jacinda Barrett in 2004.[10] The couple's first child, a girl, Satine Anais Geraldine Macht, was born August 20, 2007 in Los Angeles.[11] They had a second child, a son named Luca, on February 26, 2014.[12]
Macht has been the best friend of his Suits co-star Sarah Rafferty for over 27 years, ever since they met in 1993 at the Williamstown Theatre Festival.[13] He was one of the guests at (another Suits co-star) Meghan Markle’s wedding to Prince Harry at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on 19 May 2018.
Macht is a vegetarian and practices green living.[14]
