Meghan Markle has revealed that she struggled to find work before her 'Suits' breakthrough because of a lack of mixed-race roles.

In an interview for Emma Grede’s Aspire podcast, Markle explained how she learned to overcome rejection during the formative years of her acting career. Markle, who has not acted in many years and is now focused on her Netflix series and lifestyle company, said it was a “numbers game” that could result in tens of rejections from casting directors. Markle was ultimately cast in Suits in 2010, and the series became a big hit for USA Network, before enjoying a second life on Netflix.
