(Error Code: 102630) Freddie Highmore is an English actor who came to prominence for his roles in Five Children and It (2004), Finding Neverland (2004), and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). He was born Alfred Thomas Highmore in Camden Town, London, England, to Sue (Latimer), a talent agent, and Edward Thomas Highmore, an actor.
Despite the contrasting approaches, Highmore does feel that acting and directing go hand-in-hand. “Especially on a television show, you feel a greater responsibility as an actor to help maintain the tone. Directors come and go, and sometimes maybe you’re working with someone who has never worked on the show before.
But, at the risk of over-editorializing, a shock is how it felt. After all, David Shore ’s series had become one of ABC’s biggest hits almost instantly, and had drawn endless praise for Highmore’s turn as Dr. Shaun Murphy, a brilliant surgical resident with autism, which struck a particularly touching chord with a scarcely represented community.
Highmore did come away from Season 1 with a Golden Globe nomination for the role, though, and if the Emmy snub hit him at all, he isn’t letting it show, and neither does it appear to have dulled his work ethic. At Vancouver’s Bridge Studios in February, Highmore is days away from wrapping The Good Doctor ’s second season.

The actor was raised in a tight Ukrainian-American enclave in the New Jersey city of Irvington, and her parents and grandparents, all of whom hailed from the former Soviet Union state, had been keen to immerse her in their culture. Farmiga has also made sure that her own children are aware of their roots, too.
As she recounted in an interview for the Emmys website , she connected with musician Renn Hawkey while filming another one-season wonder, the US remake of British crime drama "Touching Evil.".
In fact, Farmiga was influenced to pull double duty on the film due to her own complicated relationship with God. The actor was raised in a deeply religious Ukrainian-American community, but as she told BlackBook on the promotional circuit, her spiritual connection isn't as strong as some of her family members'.
Thanks to her Eastern European background, her forte was Ukrainian folk, a style she told Female First in 2012 is a "hybrid of Irish step dancing and Russian Cossack.".
Freddie Highmore became a part of Vera Farmiga's family while they were filming the criminally underrated drama in Vancouver. So much so that, as Farmiga told the AP (via CTV News ), he was asked to be the godfather to her and husband Renn Hawkey's oldest child, Fynn.
In a 2008 interview with The Guardian, Farmiga revealed that she had little interest in signing up to the cult of celebrity. "'I'm blessed with a pretty sound constitution and I don't intimidate easily," she said. "I never hung the posters as a child or worshipped at the altars of stars.
