HOLLYWOOD Caley Versfelt spreads acceptance and inclusion wherever she goes. It s high on her list. So is acting.
The resident of Southern California s Manhattan Beach, who has Down syndrome, took a trip to Vancouver recently to guest star on the ABC drama series The Good Doctor .
Versfelt plays a young woman in need of a liver transplant. My favorite is drama, honestly, because I m very dramatic all the time, said Versfelt. At first it was intense. It felt weird. But after that, I blossomed and I had fun doing it.
Versfelt had to tap into a wide range of emotions. But she had plenty of support close by. The Good Doctor star, Freddie Highmore, was also her director. He gave her high marks for her performance and for her professionalism.
