“I love the feeling of the show, and also the cast and crew have all been congealed into family,” he said. “So it’s really wonderful that we all now think of each other as family. It is one of my favourite experiences, and I love the show.
“I love playing Doc Mullins because I’ve played a lot of doctors, and I did a lot of research about country doctors who work in small towns, where you know all of your patients. It’s a different kind of connection with the people you serve.
“When you walk down the street, you see them; you see them at the bar at night. It’s a different kind of medicine, really. This is the story of a guy who left the big city to get back to treating patients one-on-one, and I love that.”
