Bates Motel star Freddie Highmore talks about his passion for writing and the beautiful, tortured psyche of Norman Bates
There are two things of which ADTV’s Clarence Moye is completely certain. First, A&E’s Bates Motel finished its fourth season with its most daring, most brilliant, and most astonishingly acted sequence of episodes to date. Second, its star – the young and obscenely talented Freddie Highmore – is the nicest person with whom he has ever spoken.
Frequent readers of AwardsDaily TV are no doubt aware of Clarence’s enthusiasm for Bates Motel and its creative team / family. This critically acclaimed drama, much like other acclaimed dramas such as The Americans, has been unjustly ignored by the Television Academy since receiving an early nomination for Vera Farmiga way back in season one. But his enthusiasm for the series pales in comparison to that of its creators and stars, particularly Norman Bates himself – Freddie Highmore.
