Daniel Dae Kim will take his talents in front of the camera for his ABC show, The Good Doctor. Aside from being the Executive Producer of the successful drama series, Kim has signed on to play a recurring role, as Dr Jackson Han, the new chief of surgery who will “shake things up at St. Bonaventure and specifically put Dr. Shaun Murphy’s career in jeopardy,” according to ABC.
“As a fan of our show, I’m thrilled to be doing a guest arc with such a talented, kind and hard-working cast,” Kim said in a statement. “[Executive producer] David [Shore] and I have been looking for the right opportunity, and we’ve found a character that’s both dynamic and surprising. It’s an added bonus for my character to be directed by our own Freddie Highmore, who’s proving to be as talented behind the camera as in front of it. It’s been a lot of fun already, and I’m excited for the episodes to air.”
Kim will appear in the last four episodes of Season 2. Season 2 of The Good Doctor will premiere on January 14th.
