A still from The Good Doctor
A five-minute conversation can barely encompass all that we want to talk about with Freddie Highmore, who has become synonymous with his character Dr Shaun Murphy from The Good Doctor. The medical drama comes after a spate of interesting projects that includes Finding Neverland (2004), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), August Rush (2007), The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008), Astro Boy (2009) and Bates Motel.
From Grey’s Anatomy to House to ER, there have been umpteen medical dramas, but Highmore feels that The Good Doctor stands apart “because of the central character”, a young doctor with autism and savant syndrome. “There is an attempt to look at minor and important issues of the world. [It tackles] sensitive issues and attempts a genuine debate. [It talks about] accepting everyone, and [believing] most people have a valid point of view that is worth listening to,” begins the actor.
