You Just Got Litt Up! Rick Hoffman Returning as Louis Litt for Suits LA Guest Spot
Suits LA is getting another guest star from the original series when Rick Hoffman reprises his role as Louis Litt for a guest appearance.
The West Coast is about to get Litt the hell Up! Rick Hoffman will reprise the mud-loving character Louis Litt in a forthcoming episode of Suits LA. Hoffman, who corroborated the news on his Instagram account, is the second OG cast member to join the spinoff after Gabriel Macht (Harvey Specter).
Louis Litt Returning in Suits LA
"Harvey is not the only Suits original character that we’re going to see this season," series creator and executive producer Aaron Korsh teased in late February. "There will be at least one other original Suits character. I’m not going to say at what level."
Well it seems now that it's been revealed that Louis Litt will make his way to the City of Angels (or possibly remain in New York through the show's flashback storyline), much to the delight of fans of the original series.

A regular fixture of the entire Suits run on USA (you can stream all nine seasons on Peacock here), Louis Litt served as the resident finance expert — and a big part of the overall comedic relief — at the high-powered corporate law firm known as Pearson Specter (and many other names throughout the series). Louis, who spent much of the original series living in Harvey's shadow, got his name on the wall in Season 4 after discovering that Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) never went to Harvard. While completely underhanded, this instance of blackmail actually helped cement Louis as a vital member of the firm's inner circle. The very last Suits episode ended with Louis marrying his old girlfriend, Sheila Sazs (Rachael Harris), and welcoming a newborn baby daughter, Lucy.
Speaking with GamesRadar last year, Hoffman stated that he'd return to the franchise "in a heartbeat because it's the job that changed my entire life and it was such a wonderful experience. So of course I just hope that whatever, if they did it, it would match up to some of those seasons that were stellar. It was the role of a lifetime."
Deadline originally reported news of Louis Litt's return.
