    In Suits, Patrick J. Adams stars as Mike Ross, a genius college drop-out running from a drug deal gone bad who unexpectedly lands a job as an associate to Harvey Spector, one of New York City's top corporate lawyers. Landing the part was a godsend for Adams, who was about to quit acting and move back to Toronto. He talks about the effect Suits is having on young audiences worldwide, plus what he learned from his journalist father.
