Though Daniel Dae Kim was on hand at the Television Critics Association summer press tour to promote ABC’s new show The Good Doctor, on which he serves as an executive producer, it was only a matter of time before the actor was asked about his departure from CBS’ Hawaii Five-0.
Kim was clearly more excited to talk about The Good Doctor, but he gamely responded to the question and offered more clarification about his decision to exit Hawaii Five-0.
“I closed that chapter on Hawaii Five-0 and I began this new chapter on The Good Doctor, and I couldn’t be more excited to be back at ABC, where I started my career in earnest, and to be working with such incredible people.
The Good Doctor premieres Monday, Sept. 25 at 10/9c on ABC.
