The male lead of The Good Doctor is none other than Freddie Highmore, a member of the “F4 London” group.
Surprisingly, the Top 1 position on Netflix’s current Trending chart is The Good Doctor, a Hollywood series that has been on air since 2017, not Hospital Playlist or The Virtuous Doctor. The common point between these 3 works is not only the medical theme but also the quality of the cast in both appearance and acting. In particular, the popularity of The Good Doctor is attracting attention to the male lead Freddie Highmore – a U30 actor from the UK, who impresses with his bright blue eyes and admirable film career.
A familiar name in the “F4 London” cast, Freddie Highmore has joined Asa Butterfield, Tom Holland and Thomas Sangster to form a new generation of male gods. His roles are always varied, not to mention his scandal-free lifestyle and promising film production plans.
