David Bowie: All about Maury Sterling's character in Suits LA episode 7
David Bowie joined the cast of Suits LA in Episode 7, but it's not the person the audience, as well as the lawyers at Railsback Lane, thinks. It's not David Bowie, the English singer-songwriter and rock legend, but a character played by Maury Sterling, who has the same name. The Railsback Lane staff's reaction after Stuart mentioned his case during the meeting was —"There are two David Bowies?"
It turned out that Maury Sterling's David Bowie in Suits LA Episode 7 is a Hollywood fixer who found himself in a bind and is looking for representation. He was accused of getting rid of a whistleblower for a Hollywood studio, and Stuart wanted to get him as a client and defend him in court. Unfortunately for Stuart, David Bowie doesn't want to work with him.
What he wanted at Railsback Lane was to work with Samantha Railsback—he wanted her to sing his praises during a press conference. He thought that Samantha's pristine reputation as an entertainment lawyer would rub off on him and make him look good. Unfortunately for him, Samantha wanted to steer clear and refused to play his game.
With Samantha adamant that she wouldn't work with David Bowie, she and Stuart got into an argument. He accused his partner of being like Ted, that she doesn't respect his work as a defense attorney. Turning to Ted Black for advice, Samantha realized how her refusal made Stuart feel, so she offered to meet Bowie with him so she could tell the guy why she wouldn't be working with him.
However, Stuart told her that there was no need for her to meet with David Bowie and that he only needed to know that Samantha would have his back if necessary.
