Freddie Highmore is considered one of the “successful puberty” child stars with his handsome, elegant British looks. His acting has also become more mature and grown up, starting with the horror series Bates Motel – where Freddie transformed into the thorny psychopath Norman Bates.

After the hit Bates Motel that lasted for 5 seasons, Freddie Highmore planned to take a break to avoid being stereotyped as a character. However, the opportunity to play The Good Doctor came too quickly, causing the actor to almost refuse the most memorable role of his life at the moment.

“When you’ve just finished a 5-season TV series, you start to be afraid of the long-term commitments behind it,” Freddie Highmore once shared about his hesitation before participating in The Good Doctor. However, his right decision later proved the opposite, the character Shaun Murphy not only brought in a large fan base but also helped Freddie Highmore receive a prestigious Golden Globe nomination.

Many viewers now can’t even imagine where this series would go without the great acting of Freddie Highmore. The proof is that after 4 seasons, The Good Doctor’s viewership is still very large, from ABC to Netflix.
