In a conversation with PEOPLE last month, Armitage reflected on the last seven years on the series and how its made a lasting impact on his life.
“It's been half my life, which is kind of wild to think about, but just so fun, so wonderful, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to grow up,” he told PEOPLE last month. “Every single person I get to work with, I feel so honored to get to be working with and get to be their costar or ... get to be part of their work and part of their livelihood.”

As the cast moves on to their next projects, Armitage revealed he hopes to hold on to the series by adopting one or two traits from his eccentric character.
“It's funny, because I always sort of joke about like method acting [which] seems so silly to me … But it is weird. I really do kind of feel like half-Sheldon, half-Iain,” he explained. “I would like to keep the brains. I would like to keep the once-in-a-generation genius part, but in lieu of that, I think the way he approaches the world is funny and unique, and I always hope to approach the world and people as uniquely and really focused on each person as I can.”
