Amanda Schull auditioned to play Rachel Zane in ' Suits ' before Meghan Markle was cast. Schull played Katrina Bennett on the show.On Sunday, the 45-year-old actress sat down with ET's Cassie DiLaura at the ATX TV festival and revealed that when she first auditioned for the USA Network show, she had hoped to portray the character who would eventually be played by
"I auditioned for the pilot, I auditioned for the role of Rachel Zane, and then following that, I auditioned for every single female guest star they had on the show," she told ET, explaining how badly she wanted to join the series."That is not an exaggeration." According to the actress -- whose character is just as persistent as she is in real life -- it took her more than a dozen times of auditioning for before she finally got the call that she had been waiting for. She tells ET she studied the episodes and characters until the right one finally came around.
After some serious ups and downs in between season 2 and season 9, Katrina's loyalty to Louis pays off and she is finally promoted to name partner, changing the firm's moniker to Litt Williams Wheeler Bennett. Looking back, Schull says a part of her knew those other roles -- Rachel Zane, namely -- weren't right for her and that the job she got was the one she was meant for. Fans would certainly agree as many have said it would be hard to picture her as anyone else but Katrina. "It doesn't make sense, right?" Schull told ET of the role, which of course, went to the Duchess of Sussex, 42.
