Hill Harper, acclaimed for his portrayal of Dr. Marcus Andrews on the ABC medical drama “The Good Doctor,” is bidding farewell to the series as he pursues another dimension of his purpose – vying for a seat in the United States Senate. The 57-year-old actor, known for his roles in “Married…with Children,” “Get on the Bus,” “Beloved,” and “CSI: NY,” is leaving the show to concentrate on his campaign for the Democratic nomination in Michigan’s upcoming Senate race. Departing from the screen, Harper, a lawyer, union organizer, and single father hailing from Detroit, is driven by a fervent dedication to ensuring economic security and authentic representation for all Michiganders.
Harper’s decision to transition from acting to politics underscores his deeply-rooted commitment to public service, cultivated since his upbringing in the Midwest by two medical professionals. From his tenure at Harvard Law School to his advocacy for President Obama and service on the Cancer Panel, Harper’s trajectory reflects a steadfast pursuit of societal betterment. His Senate bid, propelled by a conviction in the necessity of independence and a focus on serving the populace over personal ambition, marks a pivotal juncture in his illustrious career.
