On Monday, it was announced that Hill would not be returning for the seventh season, after being a part of The Good Doctor since the first season.
He is leaving the country to concentrate on his bid for the US Senate TVLine.
Hill’s campaign spokesman told the media: “Hill Harper strongly believes that there is a crisis in American democracy – too often government works only for the rich and powerful while the rest of us struggle to find a voice. “
“Hill is fully committed to fixing this problem and is running for the U.S. Senate as an active union member to give working people a greater voice in Congress.”

The actor announced his decision to run for U.S. Senate in July.
He wrote on Instagram: “We can all feel it. DC just can’t get things done for the people – because special interests always come first.
“As a union organizer, single father and business owner, I understand the challenges Michiganders are facing right now. They demand a senator who will do the right thing for ALL of us – not just lobbyists.
“That’s why today I’m announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate! Believe in better things – and join our movement via the link in my bio.”
