Every Main Actor and Character in The Good Doctor Season 7
Freddie Highmore – Dr. Shaun Murphy
As mentioned above, Freddie Highmore leads the massive cast of The Good Doctor, playing the lead character Dr. Shaun Murhpy.
Dr. Murphy is an attending surgeon at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital who has had to overcome many obstacles due to autism and Savant syndrome, which in turn he has also been able to use as strengths in the medical world.
The character is known for not letting anything stop him from pursuing his dreams.
It is also important to note that he is married to Paige Spara’s Lea Dilallo, who recently gave birth to their first child in Season 6.
Highmore is known for his roles in Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Bates Motel.
Richard Schiff – Dr. Aaron Glassman
Richard Schiff’s Dr. Aaron Glassman is another main character of The Good Doctor and a father figure to Dr. Shaun Murphy.
Dr. Glassman’s official title is attending neurosurgeon, but at one time he was also the president of the St. Bonaventure hospital.
However, he had to step down from his role as president after being diagnosed with cancer. His troubles didn’t end in Season 6 when he found out that he not only had a stroke but also a lesion on his brain. This caused some separation between him and Shaun, who thought that he shouldn’t operate on patients any longer.
Schiff is best known for appearing in Man of Steel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and The West Wing.
Christina Chang – Dr. Audrey Lim
Dr. Audrey Lim is the Chief of Surgery in The Good Doctor. The character is played by Christina Chang.
Dr. Lim only appeared in a handful of episodes in Season 1 but has since been featured in nearly every single episode.
She also played a major role in confronting Dr. Glassman about his stroke and brain lesion, ushering him to step down from his duties as a surgeon after he missed a couple of sutures when operating on a patient.
Chang can also be seen in Live Free or Die Hard, Pin-Up, and 28 Days.
Paige Spara – Lea Dilallo
Paige Spara’s Lea Dilallo is the Head Director of St. Bonaventure’s IT Department and the wife of Dr. Shaun Murphy.
Lea began the series as Shaun’s next-door neighbor, but the two quickly moved in together and became roommates in Season 2.
They officially became a couple one season later and were then married in Season 5, and at the end of Season 6, Lea gave birth to their first child.
Lea and Shaun navigating parenthood will likely be a major storyline of the final installment.
Spara is best known for her work in Home Again and Kevin from Work.
Fiona Gublemann – Dr. Morgan Reznick
Dr. Morgan Reznick is an attending internist at the hospital in The Good Doctor and is played by actor Fiona Gublemann.
Dr. Reznick began the series as a surgery resident but made the switch to an internist in Season 4. For reference, this means that she now studies internal medicine.
Many characters in the show initially found Morgan to be rather difficult to work with due to her abrasive and arrogant personality.
She underwent quite a change in Season 3, however, after being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, which greatly affected her hands and ultimately played a part in forcing her to pursue internal medicine.
Gublemann is best known for her work in Royally Ever After, Wilfred, and Christmas Next Door.
