We only got Dr. Daniel Goodman for one season, but Jonathan Adams gave an unforgettable performance as the erudite, deep-voiced boss of the Jeffersonian. Emily and Carla reconnect with Jonathan 20 years later to talk about everything from his first Bones audition to the day he got the call that he wouldn’t return for season two. He shares how he processed leaving the show, and how he feels about it now. Plus, Jonathan talks about shaping Goodman’s character, why he doesn’t always take director notes, and what he did after leaving Bones.
