    Suits just snagged itself a sports legend.

    Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, will guest star on the USA drama as himself, the network announced today.

    The swimmer will appear in the midseason premiere (2014) as the big client that Harvey (Gabriel Macht) could never land. Harvey and Phelps apparently have a less-than-harmonious history together, and that past comes back to bite Harvey in the you-know-what when Scottie (Abigail Spencer) makes it her mission to woo Phelps as her first Pearson Specter client.

    ben-lecomte“Ben Lecomte will swim across the Pacific Ocean from Tokyo, Japan to San Francisco, Ca. as a symbol of motivation, inspiration and endurance in the hopes to inspire others to never give up and to face their fears, and overcome their struggles and any obstacles they face in life.”
