Freddie Highmore can check another accomplishment off his career to-do list: reaching 100 episodes of a TV show. The actor & producer crosses the threshold with Monday"s episode ofThe Good Doctor, and he sat down with ET in the thủ đô new york offices where he reflected on themilestone.
It’s kind of insane to realize that we’ve reached that milestone và that we’ve done a hundred episodes," Highmore told ET."I guess in today’s world it’s just increasingly rare to be able to lớn get to that point so overwhelming. I think we just feel very lucky & fortunate that people have kept wanting lớn tune in & watch these stories that we"retrying to lớn tell."
"Filming the 100th episode, I think, was at the same time very meaningful và poignant because it was like, "Oh, we’ve reached this milestone," & at the same time just felt lượt thích every other episode because you put the same care & dedication and sort of routine into it that you always do," he continued. Only this time, Highmore added, there were "a few cupcakes và a slightly bigger cake."
"It’s just a reflection,not really on the actorsbut as much as anything, the whole crew & everything that they’ve put into being there," Highmore credited.
The Good Doctor"s 100th episode, titled "Hot và Bothered," finds Highmore"s Dr. Shaun Murphy and the rest of the doctors dealing with a heat wave. Shaun and
Dr. Danica Powell (Savannah Welch)are at odds when it comes to their patient"s surgery, with their heated stalemate testing
Shaun"s patience and his willingness khổng lồ compromise. It also continues Shaun"s evolution as he navigates married life with Lea (Paige Spara).
"It’s a pretty big year for Shaun in terms of his relationships with other people, obviously Lea. He just got married, so they are starting to lớn have those conversations again about starting a family, whether that’s what they want
"The other thing that’s come from his marriage is this necessary impact it had on Shaun & Dr. Glassman. Dr. Glassman’s alwaysbeen the most important person in Shaun"s life -- his mentor, his father figure. & now the center of Shaun"s world is no longer him but it is Lea,and I think it’s going tobe a big season of change for the two of them as they try & figure out và reestablish the boundaries andrulesthat govern that relationship và what that means for them."
But the probability ofThe Good Doctor staying on TV for 100 more episodes seems unlikely, at least according khổng lồ Highmore.
"Not really," Highmore said with a laugh when asked about whether he"s envisioned reaching the even rarer TV accomplishment of 200 episodes."It just feels lượt thích a complete rarity to get to 100 and we"ll be finishing up with this season.And then, I guess we will see."
One of Highmore"s other notable TV roles, Norman Bates onBates Motel, will also be celebrating the 10th anniversary of its premiere next March.

"That"s mad," he reacted. "It’s funny for me as well thinking of Bates Motel coming up khổng lồ a milestone because I’ve been,in combination with Bates Motel and The Good Doctor both filming in Vancouver, this is now my 11th year in a row filming something in total. So in some ways, they bởi vì feel lượt thích they merged into one in terms of location. & yeah, it was such a wonderful show to lớn work on và I’m still in cảm ứng with many people from that."
