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.

That sounds like a challneging role for a first time actor, don’t you think?
