The Good Doctor EP lobbies for Freddie Highmore Emmy nomination
We’ve already stated our case for Freddie as an Emmy contender on CarterMatt, but it’s nice to see a number of other people do the same. Take, for example, The Good Doctor executive producer Daniel Dae Kim stating the case for him in a post on Instagram, using a feature piece from Deadline as further evidence. This is the sort of EP that any cast member wants to have, someone who will actively promote the show and champion some of the actors who are on it. Daniel’s an actor himself; he knows the sort of commitment that is required for a role like Shaun Murphy and he’s clearly proud of everything that Freddie has done in order to bring Shaun to life.

So do we think that we’re going to see Shaun get this elusive nomination? It’d be wonderful if he did, but we’ve certainly come to learn at this point not to take anything for granted. He’s still an underdog in terms of the actual odds, and whether it be with this show or Bates Motel, for some reason Emmy voters seem to be asleep at the wheel when it comes to recognizing some of Freddie’s work. We do think that eventually, a moment will come for him to get the love that he deserves; we may just not be there yet, even if we want it to happen.
If you want to vote for Freddie as an ideal Emmy nominee…
You can do so in our Emmy Preview series over here! It’s just for fun, but we like to think that it helps to raise the profile of him as a performer to a certain degree.
