House (Hugh Laurie) is intrigued by a patient, Patrick (guest star Dave Matthews) who is a musical savant in the HOUSE episode “Half-Wit” airing Tuesday, March 6 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX
I am not even a DMB fan and I am so excited for this episode. But then again I am excited House is back after being off the air for three weeks for American Idol.
Variety is reporting that both House and Bones have both been picked up for next year!!! Woo Hoo! I love both of these shows! And Bones gets better and better with every episode this season!!!
Actress Jennifer Morrison and actor Jesse Spencer, who costar on FOX’s hit medical drama House, became engaged over the holidays in Paris, PEOPLE has learned. Morrison, 27, who plays Dr. Allison Cameron, and Spencer, also 27, who portays Dr. Robert Chase, met while filming the pilot for the series, which debuted in 2004. A rep for the couple says no wedding date has been set.
Rocker Dave Matthews has crashed … into his first TV role. The founder of the Dave Matthews Band (who had a hit with "Crash … Into Me") has signed to appear in an episode of Fox’s "House." In the episode, set to air in March, Matthews will play a savant who was hit by a bus when he was 10. The accident impacted his mental development, but suddenly gave him the ability to play the piano flawlessly, despite never having taken a lesson. Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) is brought in after the virtuoso begins suffering seizures and the character’s father (Kurtwood Smith) must decide whether to cure the impairment — and lose his son’s musical gift. The episode reps the directorial debut of "House" exec producer Katie Jacobs. This is Matthews’ second brush with "House": His track "Some Devil" appeared in a 2005 episode.
Hugh Laurie, who is awarded an OBE for services to drama, has been part of the British comedy establishment for over 20 years. But his career recently hit new heights after being cast as an American doctor in the US sitcom House. Laurie, 47, is the youngest of four children and the son of an Oxford GP. When he was 29, Laurie’s mother died from motor neurone disease. At Cambridge university, Laurie was part of the Cambridge Footlights Revue, which included Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson. Laurie – whose father was an Olympic gold medalist rower – also rowed for Cambridge in the 1980 boat race. In 1987, Fry and Laurie landed their own sketch show, A Bit of Fry and Laurie. Laurie also became a hit in Blackadder, and as Bertie in the smash hit Jeeves and Wooster. Movie roles have included Peter’s Friends, Sense and Sensibility and Stuart Little. But it has been as Dr Gregory House in US medical drama House that has recently made the middle-aged Englishman a huge success – and an unlikely sex symbol – in the US.
Sometimes I forget he is British because he has really perfected the American accent! BTW if you want to know more about Order of the British Empire, you can read this Wikipedia article. Can you tell I didn’t know what an OBE was?
