The Good Doctor ~ Osvaldo Benavides 

Dr. Audrey Lim’s new 💕  interest is here to stay.

Mexican actor has been promoted  🎉 to series regular ahead of Season 5 

His character, Dr. Mateo Rendón Osma, was introduced in Part 1 of the ABC medical drama’s Season 4 finale, which aired May 31.

Word of Benavides’ promotion comes shortly after it was confirmed that original cast member Antonia Thomas(Dr. Claire Browne) will depart the Freddie Highmore-led series following Monday’s episode.

The series’ two-part finale has followed Shaun and the surgical team to Guatemala on a mission to help patients at a rural hospital. Among the local MDs is the aforementioned Osma, who struck up an immediate bond with St. Bonaventure’s chief of surgery.
