Scott D Pierce: I made a TV star cry. I didn't intend to. Really. Fans of his show, 'The Good Doctor,' may shed some tears when the series ends this month.
Fans may shed a few tears, too, when his show, ‘ The Good Doctor ,’ hits its series finale this month.Not just any TV star, but a martial artist with a list of credits that includes a lot of action roles. A guy who could, with one hand tied behind his back, take me out in about two seconds. That guy is Will Yun Lee , one of the stars of “ The Good Doctor .”
And then I asked “if any of the actors want to talk about what it was like coming into a show after it was up and running?” I was, in part, trying to give several of the actors on the panel who hadn’t said much a chance to talk. Fiona Gubelman said she’d felt welcomed.And then Lee replied: “I remember coming in at the end of Season 1, and …” he began, before quickly choking up.
Going from real-life medical stress to a medical drama was almost too much for Lee. “After the first episode, I was, like, ‘I don’t think I can do this show,’” he said, “and I was going to call my agents and say, ‘If they want to bring me back, I don’t think I’ll be able to finish the show.’”He did, of course, decide to stay. He recalled a Season 2 episode, directed by showrunner David Shore , that included “this scene where I literally cried for 12 straight hours.
Which is the way most TV shows end. Including “The Good Doctor.” The good news is that that news came before work began on the seventh and final season, so “we’ve been lucky enough to be able to plan the ending we want to do,” Shore said. Friedman added that the writers came up with “a great finale” that will be “something that we think the fans will love.”
