Great article in the New York Times about the new ABC Television hit show The Good Doctor. I had the chance to visit a day of their filming in Vancouver BC, and enjoyed watching the star Freddie Highmore transform into his character for the show. They were using the front and entrance of the Vancouver Community College building for the hospital entrance as shown on the show. You can read/see photos from my visit here.
