Getting into character for an actor is a deeply personal act. So it's not really a surprise that playing a character that's contending with a terminal illness can make a person reflect. Ryan Eggold, who plays Dr. Max Goodwin on NBC's new hit drama "New Amsterdam," opened up about reflecting on life and death.

Along with his co-star, Freema Agyeman (Dr. Helen Sharpe), the duo sat down with NBC10 anchor Jacqueline London to discuss their hopes for "New Amsterdam" and how one loves looking at the medical imagery, blood and guts while the other avoids them like the plague.
