00:00 It's been a huge role.

00:02 Of course it's changed my life.

00:05 You put so much into it,

00:06 and so it still doesn't quite seem real

00:10 that it's all over.

00:12 Having more people to miss

00:13 means having more people to love.

00:17 You're right.

00:19 Our lives will never be the same again.

00:22 They'll be better.

00:24 Sean has evolved a huge amount,

00:27 and that's been one of the joys of playing him, actually.

00:29 I think the naive, innocent guy

00:32 who shows up at the very beginning of the pilot,

00:34 having never lived in this big city

00:36 and had a job in quite the same way,

00:38 has changed so much,

00:40 both in his personal and also his professional life,

00:43 and that's been really exciting to play,

00:45 the constant changes, the constant evolution.

00:48 My brother taught me that just because you love somebody

00:52 doesn't mean you get to love them forever.

00:56 The public fell in love with Dr. Murphy,

00:59 and that's a tribute to Freddie Highmore.

01:01 What he did with the character was remarkable,

01:03 and it's been so cool to watch this character

01:07 who I don't think we'd ever seen on TV before,

01:09 anything like that,

01:10 become a touchstone that people refer to

01:13 and, frankly, people want to be like.

01:15 I think that also has gone to counter

01:18 a misconception about autism.

01:22 Of course, Sean has autism, and he always will,

01:25 but that doesn't mean that he can't change and evolve

01:28 and grow and learn as a human being as all of us can.

01:32 I am still different.

01:34 I will always have autism,

01:38 but now I'm proud of that.

01:42 You will always be an addict, even if you stop using drugs,

01:48 but Dr. Glassman sees you can be more.

01:54 Why can't you?

01:56 And sometimes on this show, what I've loved

01:58 is that those big moments for Sean,

02:00 his progression, have been small, little,

02:03 understated things, like, for example,

02:05 the end of season one where he gives Dr. Glassman

02:08 a hug for the first time,

02:09 and it was so meaningful for him to be able to do that

02:14 that even though for someone else

02:16 that might be a small way to end a particular scene,

02:20 for us it was enough to end an entire season

02:23 with and I'll certainly miss those little moments,

02:26 those nuances that people feel like they connect to him

02:29 and see a little bit of themselves represented in him.

02:31 That has been a really joyful and meaningful experience.

02:35 ♪♪

02:42 you
