Suits & Orphan Black - Patrick J. Adams Interview

Suits
Is Mike still living with Harvey?
I don’t want to spoil anything, but there are a couple of really good scenes where we deal directly with that in this next episode and we get to see how Harvey really feels about their relationship. We begin to see what the next steps for Rachel and Mike are going to be. There’s a lot of interesting stuff to be played there in the wake of a betrayal. These are two people that have been really doing nothing but falling in love for the past few years. Now, you’re going to get to see them faced with something that a lot of relationships in the real world are faced with. So I won’t tell you where he’s sleeping at night. You’ll get a lot of interesting stuff in the next couple of episodes.

There’s been a lot of debate in our comments section about Mike’s behavior this season. How do you feel about his arc?
I really loved it because it was doing something different. Mike really got to stretch himself a little bit, get himself out of his comfort zone and try something new. Ultimately, it was all there to service his realization that being an investment banker is not what he was put on this earth to do. He really needs to be a lawyer and that’s what drives him.

But it’s important for characters to grow and change and evolve and even make mistakes, and it’s been fascinating to see how the audience has reacted to some of those changes. It’s always so vehement, but it also makes me laugh because that’s why people tune into television, to see characters they love stretch and try new things and sometimes really make big mistakes and then learn from them. The reaction of people to Mike is, ultimately, really good for the show because it’s representative of the risks that we’re taking and the fact that we don’t want to sit by and do the same thing every week.

Orphan Black

I was so pleasantly surprised and delighted by your Orphan Black guest spot. The character and interaction was not what I was expecting at all.

Yeah, that’s what we were going for. I told them that I would do anything to be on the show – whatever. I just wanted to work with [Tatiana Maslany] and support the show as best I could. When I saw the part come up, I thought, “This is going to be a really fun, strange thing to do that’s very different from what I get to do the rest of the time.” She’s just such a tremendous actor and to get to play off against what I think is her most extreme clone was a treat. It seems like something that the fans really enjoyed, as well. I had a great time. I tweeted my way onto the show in the first place. Now I’m trying to tweet my way back on the show, start a “Bring Jesse Back” movement.

I was going to ask you if we should start the Twitter campaign now.
Yes. I haven’t figured out the hashtag yet. I’ll let the fans decide. The Internet is far more creative than I am. But I’ve already got a lot of tweets, social media support. People really seem to really want Jesse to come back and help Helena out of her rut, and it would be an honor to do so. Hopefully, that’s something the writers are interested in doing.
