Actors Brendan Hines (Lie to Me and Betrayal) and DB Woodside (24 and Buffy) will both have multi-episode arcs on Suits when the USA Network drama returns for its fourth season. Hines will play Logan Sandler, the son of a millionaire entrepreneur who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and isn’t used to hearing the word “no.” His desire to prove himself by making a splashy acquisition will put him squarely in the middle of a conflict between Harvey (series lead Gabriel Macht) and Mike (series lead Patrick J. Adams). Meanwhile, Woodside will play Jeff Malone, a former SEC prosecutor who is a financial expert with a personal stake in Pearson Specter. His expertise is needed when the firm is faced with its toughest challenge yet. Suits will air its season finale (season 3) on April 10 with season four back this summer on the USA Network.
