The two-part season finale of the Good Doctor season 4 included many actors, including most of the main cast. (Only notable exception was Dr. Glassman, Richard Schiff.)
Hmnnnnn......I had my doubts as Ritsue started preparing these lotus roots.
......but and a little hamburger, pork, and shrimp and they were quite tasty, and crunchy!
A quiet early morning on Main St. waiting at J.J. Bean for the Good Doctor's cappuccino.
......and there it is, our base camp, for most of the final three weeks of shooting. We were set up at the Riverview hospital grounds in Coquitlam.
One of my many down time hiding spots on the grounds, the East Lawn building. I have been part of many productions that have filmed here over the years.
There he is, our transport captain, Ward. If you add a little make-up and a wig, voila!, you have Sapo the stunt Guatemalan bus driver! (He sure had a lot of fun with the 3 filming days he was in.)
Without giving too much away, the industrial services building slowly transformed into a Guatemalan hospital.
....and Dr. Reznick had something to say about that.
Outside the Center Lawn building, looking all official with the Guatemalan flag on the door. (Not part of the show, we did all of that for fun purposes, only.)
Lots blooming on the Riverview grounds.......
Broadway and Kingsway in Vancouver, waiting to take Dr. Browne to Guatemala, lol.
The grip pre-rig boys were hard at work on this bus, setting up for some interior shots.
Meanwhile back at the caterer's BBQ, Louie was working his magic. Yes, I know we are spoiled!
These picnic tables at Riverview have not seen a visitor in many years.
Another nice bloomin' shot!
Hahaha, my own personal gym for 2 1/2 weeks, lots of stair climbing and dips.
We all had to carry this letter because of the new travel restrictions put on by the B.C. government. It says we are entitled to travel for work purposes.
Guatemalan party bus?????
Meanwhile, back at our last day at the studio, Dr. Reznick (Fiona Gubelmann) was loading up one of her birthday presents.
The other Guatemalan bus, the one the grip brothers were rigging up. Now it has been loaded onto this low-bed trailer........
One little wind storm and the flower blossoms looked like snow on the road.
We spent one day filming at an old western film lot called Jamestown. It was way out in Langley. My first time here!
Cast drop off was in this little Guatemalan village.
Looking oh so cool, stunt Sapo is back!
.........night........
......went for a stroll, there was a pond out yonder......
........looking back towards Jamestown.
Still some cool old western pieces scattered around......
Close by was B.C. Buzz honey stand. I went to get a jar of cinnamon honey for Dr. Reznick. While I was there I grabbed a jar of buckwheat honey for myself, and a jar of raspberry honey for Dr. Shaun Murphy. Yum-yum!
Even the bunnies came out to see what was going on......
........stunt Sapo is at it again!
Random, digging the woods at Jamestown, pic.
Night time in the village.
Random, a younger me trying to look truck driver cool, pic. (A longer story for another time.)
Might as well throw in the me, younger, bad moustache, trying to look like a cool Greyhound driver, pic.
One day off again, time to enjoy a frosty cold one!
Sunday night was Nao Sushi time!
A blast from the past. I had these pics of bro Skip's old Datsun framed for him. That was quite a day in the early 80's out on the farm roads in around Minburn, Alberta.
Wow! Highway 1 between Chilliwack and Hope. In all the years of driving this road, I have never seen less traffic. (Well, maybe at 3 in the morning.) People seem to be co-operating with the travel restrictions.
Fellow cast driving peep Jaz letting me know it was time to join the mighty Teamster gang at our base camp in Guatemala!
......and there it is, our base camp for 3 days in Guatemala, aka: Merritt, B.C. (....to be continued......)
