What has Gabriel Macht been doing since Suits ended?

The last episode of Suits Season 9 aired on September 25, 2019. Since then, audiences have always been curious about the activities of the actors involved. People are often curious about Gabriel Macht's complete disappearance from the limelight since the show ended.

Macht, who played one of the most prominent characters in the show, hasn't been associated with any project since 2019. After the show ended the actor was part of a Suits spin-off show. However, that too had gotten canceled after one season in the same year.

Despite not being part of any project Macht keeps his 3 million Instagram followers updated about his whereabouts.

In October 2020, Macht did an interview for Make The Jump Podcast in which he spoke about various things. This includes "taking risks, stepping up, getting in touch with what makes ‘you’ you, how to build and maintain creativity, strength, endurance in life and what success may look like."

He also occasionally posts about social causes he believes in and urges his followers to do the same. In July 2023, during the SAG-AFTRA strikes the actor had written on Instagram:

"As Harvey Specter once said, "I don't play the odds, I play the man. I’ll take ‘that’ from him…."

He continues:

"I stand in solidarity with my actors union, SAG/AFTRA and the writers union, WGA, to demand a fair share of the rewards for those who put in long hours and sacrifice their personal lives to create the content we ALL love.
"The issue of inequality in the entertainment industry means we must ‘Play the Man’ and support the creators and demand us, storytellers, receive fair compensation. It’s irresponsible to allow the few to benefit at the expense of the many."

He also periodically speaks about his time on Suits and promotes it on his Instagram handle. He recently attended the Golden Globes where he reunited with his castmates from the show as they presented an award.

Uploading a series of photos and a video from the event the actor wrote on Instagram:
