'Suits' Season 6 Star Patrick J. Adams Says Frank Gallo Is Not Your Typical 'Suits' Villain

"Suits" star Patrick J. Adams said that season 6's Frank Gallo (Paul Schulze) is unlike any other villains that fans have seen on the hit legal drama series.

"He's a really interesting character for the show because he can take it to a place that no other character's really taken it before," Adams said of Frank during an interview with Yahoo TV. "I mean, we've had violence on the show: We've had Harvey [Gabriel Macht] punch about 15 people in a bathroom at some point, and we've had people throw punches and take hits in the stomach. But we've never had a character who is really determined to do serious physical harm to somebody, and a character who has a seriously dangerous past."

"The more that we learn about Gallo, we're going to learn that he's not your typical 'Suits' villain," continued the 34-year-old actor who plays Mike on the USA Network series. "He's somebody who can do way more physical damage and plans to do way more physical damage than anyone we've really had on the show before. It really ups the stakes, and it gives Mike and Harvey something to fight against and a good reason to do everything in their power to get Mike out of prison before it's too late."

In addition to Frank's physical menace, this season's baddie can also wreak some mental havoc on Mike and his loved ones, especially now that he knows Mike's story and has Rachel's (Meghan Markle) phone number.

"He could call her, he could harass her, he could intimidate her," series creator Aaron Korsh told TVLine, " and that's going to mess with Mike's mind, just like messing with Mike would pray on Harvey's mind."
