It's a little pat but a decent time-passer. Joe Walker, who only appeared in three episodes of this show and nothing else per IMDB, showed some promise as an actor. He'd been picked in a nationwide search per Wikipedia's article on this show. Here he plays a wannabe burglar who tries to steal Hudson's best suit to attend a funeral! The good doctor chooses to mentor him instead, after having a few conversations with him. The only downer on the show is the terrible Italian accent of the actor who plays title chef Tony.
