Meghan Duchess of Sussex's Suits character Louis Litt, real name Rick Hoffman, lit up the internet with a hilarious photo of his face._ by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman May 19, 2018 2:33 PM UTC by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman May 19, 2018 2:33 PM UTC Thank goodness [Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s](http://time.com/5260000/royal-wedding-kiss-prince-harry-meghan-markle/) former _Suits_ co-star Rick Hoffman was at her [royal wedding](http://time.com/5276277/royal-wedding-live/) to give the internet some excellent fodder. A photo of the 47-year-old American actor captured him during the ceremony at a time when he was likely concentrating on the powerful messages. It was serious business and love-themed after all. But the internet wants what it wants. And all they want him to be on the day of the royal wedding is his _Suits_ character. On the royal bride’s former television show Suits, Hoffman played a mud bath-loving lawyer by the name of Louis Litt. The internet had a field day captioning the viral photo of him with hot takes. The royal wedding was full of [historic](http://time.com/5283974/royal-wedding-bishop-michael-curry-reactions/) and [heartwarming moments](http://time.com/5260394/royal-wedding-prince-george-princess-charlotte/). But for many of us watching, it’s our [avatars](http://time.com/5283734/royal-wedding-page-boy/) that we connect most with. Today, Rick Hoffman is that man. > [](https://twitter.com/schcrbatskys/status/997793387431407616) > [](https://twitter.com/ZahraLyla/status/997801220503949313) > [](https://twitter.com/o%5Fobsiye/status/997791647273545729) > [](https://twitter.com/PepperITAu/status/997790707761823745) > [](https://twitter.com/glynnister/status/997790936842362880) > [](https://twitter.com/shallihitit/status/997808036533145600) Elsewhere of course, he was all smiles. > [](https://twitter.com/Mister%5FPraise/status/997809519987167233) He’s starred in _Samantha Who_, _The Bernie Mac Show_, and _Jake in Progress_, and most recently the royal wedding as a relatable guy. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5284169/louis-litt-royal-wedding/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5284169/louis-litt-royal-wedding/"},"headline":"Suits' Rick Hoffman's Facial Expression Was a Royal Wedding Highlight","datePublished":"2018-05-19T14:33:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:39.176Z","description":"Meghan Duchess of Sussex's Suits character Louis Litt, real name Rick Hoffman, lit up the internet with a hilarious photo of his face.","url":"https://time.com/5284169/louis-litt-royal-wedding/","keywords":["Newsfeed","royal wedding","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2323f0e4bd939288/698930df22fb85f79ee25abb/gettyimages-953183834.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2323f0e4bd939288/698930df22fb85f79ee25abb/gettyimages-953183834.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Suits - Season 7","caption":"Suits - Season 7","creditText":"USA Network—NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5284169/louis-litt-royal-wedding/","name":"Suits' Rick Hoffman's Facial Expression Was a Royal Wedding Highlight"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"Meghan Duchess of Sussex's Suits character Louis Litt, real name Rick Hoffman, lit up the internet with a hilarious photo of his face.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5284169/louis-litt-royal-wedding/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5284169/louis-litt-royal-wedding/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
