How The Good Doctor's Paige Spara Landed The Role ... From Her Childhood Bathroom?

“It’s a really small bathroom, and it smelled like bleach because my mom had just scoured it,” Paige Spara recalled. “My mom was like, ‘You’ve got this, hun.'” It looks like her mom was right, as the performer was able to clinch the role, which eventually made her a central cast member of “The Good Doctor,” even with the restrictions of filming in a bathroom.

Since landing the part, Spara has gone on to appear in 104 of the show’s 116 episodes, with her most recent storyline on “The Good Doctor” seeing her having Shaun Murphy’s child. Her character has also grown professionally in the series, going from an automotive engineer to the head of the IT department at a university — not a bad deal when you consider how she nabbed the role.

“I happened to be visiting my mom and dad in Washington, and I had gotten the audition while I was at home, and I wasn’t going to do it because it’s very strenuous to do a self-tape when you don’t have the proper equipment,” Spara recalled. Still, she went for it in the end, and the rest is history.
