Highmore joked, "I wouldn't raise my hand if a doctor were needed." Unlike Murphy, Highmore cannot discern whether the bodies on the set are real or fake.
Despite the show's 100th episode premiering, Highmore said he is "probably the worst at distinguishing between real bodies and fake bodies" of the main cast.
