00:00It's been a huge role.

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

00:05You put so much into it, and so it still doesn't

00:09quite seem real that it's all over.

00:12Having more people to miss means having more people to love.

00:17You're right.

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

00:22They'll be better.

00:24Sean has evolved a huge amount,

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

00:29I think the naive, innocent guy who shows up

00:33at the very beginning of the pilot,

00:34having never lived in this big city

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

00:38has changed so much, both in his personal

00:41and also his professional life.

00:43And that's been really exciting to play.

00:45The constant changes, the constant evolution.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

01:10become a touchstone that people refer to

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

01:15I think that also has gone to counter a misconception

01:20about autism.

01:21Of course, Sean has autism, and he always will,

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

01:28and evolve and grow and learn as a human being

01:31as all of us can.

01:32I am still different.

01:34I will always have autism,

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

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

01:47But Dr. Glassman sees you can be more.

01:54Why can't you?

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

01:57is that those big moments for Sean, his progression,

02:01have been small, little, understated things,

02:04like, for example, the end of season one

02:06where he gives Dr. Glassman a hug for the first time.

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

02:14that even though for someone else that might be

02:17a small way to end a particular scene,

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

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

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

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

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