Billy Miller recently died after committing suicide at the age of 43. His mother, Patricia Miller, revealed to Soap Opera Digest that he was battling bipolar disorder for a long time, leading to his suicide. She clarified that the other claims about her son's cause of death were false.

"We all loved him so much and are desperately trying to deal with our loss. I will have nothing further to say. Thanks for the love and support."

Miller was known for his appearance as Marcus Specter in four episodes of the legal drama Suits. Aaron Korsh, the series creator, paid tribute to Miller by sharing a post on X (formerly Twitter).

"Very sad news for the entire Suits family. Billy Miller has passed away. I flew home once with Billy. We had a great time, bonding over the five hour flight, which seemed like it was over in minutes. A funny, smart, kind, gentle man."

The character was a restaurant owner and Harvey's younger brother. He was addicted to gambling. He had a daughter who loved Pinkalicious and also had to undergo chemotherapy twice.

Marcus was seeking financial help for another chance by launching a restaurant, which was one reason why Harvey got involved with Charles Frostman. A flashback scene once revealed Specter putting all the blame on Harvey for destroying his family.

In an episode of the sixth season, he was seen at his father's funeral. He once threatened Harvey after revealing that Lily Specter was also present. When Harvey spoke to Marcus in the present day, the latter invited him to stay at his home with the other family members.
