First Look At John Amos In His Final Role In NBC’s ‘Suits: L.A.’ Pilot
deadline.comWe’re getting a first look at the late John Amos in NBC‘s Suits: L.A. pilot in a just-released episodic photo (see above). Amos, who died at the age of 84, was cast in a guest-starring role in the pilot from Aaron Korsh, which was picked up to series in July.
It is the iconic actor’s final role. In the pilot, Amos played himself as a client at Ted’s (Stephen Amell) law firm who also has a longstanding friendship with Ted.
While Amos’ guest appearance was not conceived as part of an ongoing arc, we hear there was a potential for him to recur. He will now be seen in the pilot only, which will air when the series debuts later this season.
NBC has yet to make a decision on whether the episode will be dedicated to Amos. The new Suits iteration is centered on Amell’s Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles.
