Below is all you need to know about Ted Black-Harvey Specter Connection-
How are Ted Black & Harvey Specter connected?
For the first time, episode 2 of Suits LA mentions about the famous character of Harvey Specter, played by Gabriel Macht in the cult-classic Suits. It happens when Ted and Kevin were having a discussion in the office over an ongoing murder investigation. Below is what Ted and Kevin's conversation about Harvey went on-
On 'old day reference' Kevin picks out a photo frame that had Harvey and Ted together. Pointing it out, Kevin says, "I remember this guy (Harvey). Great ballplayer. What's his name? Harry--something like that."
Ted says, "Harvey! You know that." Kevin says, "I know. I never liked him."
Ted asks, "Why not?" Kevin answers, "Because he's the only person I knew cockier than you."
Kevin concludes the statement that one should never trust the pretty ones, pointing it to Harvey.
While the makers did not mention the Ted Black-Harvey Specter connection, it can be understood by the timeline. Ted Black, before running a firm, was a federal prosecutor. Ted Black was a prosecutor in New York around the same time Harvey also worked at the DA's office.
With Ted's photo with Harvey being mentioned, it can be understood that both of the lawyers were connected since college days.
