Eric Roberts Joins 'Suits' For Fourth Season Recurring Arc

Eric Roberts joins Suits for Season 4.

Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nominee Eric Roberts (Runaway Train) has been set as a recurring guest star on USA's top rated and critically-acclaimed original drama Suits, which returns for a fourth season on Wednesday, June 11 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Roberts will play Charles Forstman, a titan of finance with a net worth in the billions and an outsized personality to match. His checkbook could swing any takeover battle, but if someone wants him on their side they'll have to figure out what to give the man who has everything. With his own ideas about how the game should be played, Forstman could knock over the whole chessboard.

Suits stars Gabriel Macht (Love and Other Drugs), SAG Award nominee Patrick J. Adams (Luck), Gina Torres (Firefly), Rick Hoffman (Samantha Who), Meghan Markle (CSI: Miami) and Sarah Rafferty (Brothers & Sisters). Roberts joins recently announced recurring guest stars DB Woodside, Brendan Hines, Michael Gross, Neil McDonough and Melanie Papalia.

His soap opera roles include stints at How to Survive a Marriage, Another World and The Young and the Restless.  He is an Academy Award nominee for his role in Runaway Train and a three-time Golden Globe nominee for Runaway Train, Star 80 and King of the Gypsies. In addition, Roberts received critical acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival for his roles in A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints and It's My Party. He starred in La Cucaracha, which won Best Film at the Austin Film Festival, and for which Roberts won Best Actor at the New York Independent Film Festival that same year. Other notable performances include Final Analysis, The Pope of Greenwich Village, Raggedy Man, Hollywood Dreams, Babyfever, Heaven's Prisoners, The Dark Knight and The Expendables. Television roles includes Heroes, Entourage, The L Word, The Cleaner, the CSI franchise, Justified, Less Than Perfect, the Emmy-nominated adaptation of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, and Crash.
