Amber Tamblyn joined the cast of "House" during its seventh season as Martha Meredith Masters, a good-natured third-year medical student who joins the diagnostics team as an intern to fill in for Thirteen's absence. She proves to be a difficult team member for House, as she sticks by her guns and her moral compass, furiously challenging him with the questionable decisions he makes (which, if you know House, are quite frequent). In 2022, Spencer was cast in the Disney+ dramedy mini-series, "Last Days of the Space Age." Set in Western Australia in 1979, the series follows the intermixed storylines of a Miss Universe pageant, a power strike, and a crashing U.S. space station.
Gregory House
This fact did not stop Blythe from supporting her husband, which made House all the more resentful towards his father. In One Day, One Room House confides in Eve that his father repeatedly abused him throughout his childhood, making him take ice water baths and sleep outside in the cold as a way of administering discipline. House strongly hints at this being the source of the fragility in he and his father's relationship. House is emotionally damaged by the dysfunction in these primary relationships, citing his mother's dishonesty and his father's hostility as causes of his damaged personality.
Recurring characters
His colleagues have acknowledged that this is the source of House's deep-seated unhappiness, and cynicism; his fear of intimacy, praise, and the unknown; as well as his lack of acceptance regarding traditional societal values and rituals. In 2008, Gregory House was voted second sexiest television doctor ever, behind ER's Doug Ross (George Clooney). Michael Tritter (David Morse), a police detective, appears in several Season 3. He tries to extract an apology from House, who left Tritter in an examination room with a thermometer in his rectum. After House refuses to apologize, Tritter brings him up on charges of unprescribed narcotics possession and forces him to attend rehabilitation. When the case reaches court, Cuddy perjures herself for House and the case is dismissed.
Hugh Laurie based part of his world-famous character on his own father.
Director Greg Yaitanes received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing - Drama Series, for directing House's Head, the first part of Season 4's two-episode finale. Stacy Warner (Sela Ward), House's ex-girlfriend, appears in the final two episodes of Season 1, and seven episodes of Season 2. She wants House to treat her husband, Mark Warner (Currie Graham), whom House diagnoses with acute intermittent porphyria in the Season 1 finale. Stacy and House grow close again, but House eventually tells Stacy to go back to Mark, which devastates her.
Season 4 – House
At the beginning of Season 6, House gets his head shaved or in a buzz cut that remains there for the rest of the season although it begins growing back by the end of Season 6 and through Season 7. House is very reluctant to talk about the incident which damaged his leg and can be easily offended when it is brought up. On one occasion where he told a group of students about the leg injury, (but disguised his identity), he becomes furious when they, like his original doctors, couldn't figure out what was wrong.

His wish to avoid his father has the unfortunate fallout of taking him away from his mother as well. Although House has had a number of co-workers, employers, lovers, and acquaintances during his life, it appears that he has only had seven real relationships during his life. This is primarily because House's personality is most likely a deliberate attempt to alienate those who want to get to know him better. The seven people who have been able to overcome his defensiveness have found a person worth salvaging, or even cherishing. By Season 8, during his time in prison, House's hair has grown long and he eventually shaves it off at the beginning of the Season 8 episode, Charity Case.
Hugh Laurie played the titular Dr. Gregory House.
At first, the producers were looking for a "quintessentially American person" to play the role of House. Bryan Singer in particular felt there was no way he was going to hire a non-American actor for the role. At the time of the casting session, Hugh Laurie was in Namibia filming the movie Flight of the Phoenix. He assembled an audition tape in a hotel bathroom, the only place with enough light, and apologized for its appearance (which Singer compared to a "bin Laden video"). Singer was very impressed by his performance and commented on how well the "American actor" was able to grasp the character.

Robert Sean Leonard played Dr. James Wilson, who was House's only true friend and quite frankly one of our favorite supporting actors thanks to their buddy dynamic. As the show's titular, grumpy doctor, Hugh Laurie led eight seasons of the iconic show and scooped up Golden Globe awards in the process. No longer a world where an idealized doctor has all the answers or a hospital where gurneys race down the hallways, House's focus is on the pharmacological—and the intellectual demands of being a doctor. The trial-and-error of new medicine skillfully expands the show beyond the format of a classic procedural, and at the show's heart, a brilliant but flawed physician is doling out the prescriptions—a fitting symbol for modern medicine. The series' executive producers included Shore, Attanasio, Attanasio's business partner Katie Jacobs, and film director Bryan Singer.
In addition to TV and feature films, he's is a three-time Tony Award nominee and won Best Featured Actor in a Play in 2001 for his role in The Invention of Love. Previous to this, he had acted in the New York premiere of Arcadia at Lincoln Center in 1995. Several other theatrical performances followed, including the lead performer in a revival of The Music Man.

Known by most as Dr. Wilson on House and his most recent role on HBO’s The Gilded Age as Rev. Luke Forte, Robert Sean Leonard’s career has spanned a number of classic films and noted television roles. No stranger to fearless and even iconic TV roles, she was Rob Lowe’s call girl girlfriend on West Wing, transsexual Cindy on Ally McBeal and the first out-lesbian on network TV in Relativity. The show — and the House cast — received high critical acclaim and was loved by its millions of viewers from all over the world, having been distributed to 71 countries, making it the most watched television program in the world in 2008.
In a fit of anger, Wilson threw a bottle and broke an antique mirror, getting himself arrested for assault, vandalism, and property destruction. They spent the rest of the convention together (mostly drinking) and became close friends. House was obviously a bright child, a mixed blessing as his harshly demanding father and enabling mother obviously had high hopes for him.
While this is mostly in part due to his personal genius, he couldn't do it without the help of his team, and the series brilliantly weaves together these characters and complex storylines to offer audiences a unique medical drama. In the seventh episode of Season 2, Hunting, Cameron and Chase have a one-night stand. In the middle of Season 3, they initiate a sexual relationship that Cameron insists be casual; when Chase declares that he "wants more", Cameron ends the affair.
However, when House is lying on a gurney waiting to be rushed to surgery, he regains consciousness long enough to ask for ketamine. House attended a medical convention in New Orleans, Louisiana where he noticed a young medical school graduate carrying around unopened divorce papers all weekend. He followed the doctor, James Wilson, to a bar where a man kept playing Billy Joel's "Leave a Tender Moment Alone" on the jukebox which reminded Wilson of his recent breakup, prompting the two to get into an argument.
House was among the top 10 shows in the United States from its second through fourth seasons. Distributed to 66 countries, House was the most-watched television program in the world in 2008. The show received numerous awards, including five Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Peabody Award, and nine People's Choice Awards. On February 8, 2012, Fox announced that the eighth season, then in progress, would be its last. Charlyne Yi joined the cast of "House" as Dr. Chi Park, a major character in the eighth and last season of the series. Park plays a shy, introverted young doctor who is often bewildered by House's inappropriate behavior and outlandish professionalism.
Hugh Laurie was credited as an executive producer for the second and third episodes of Season 5. James Hugh Calum Laurie was born on June 11, 1959 in Oxford, England; his father a real-life doctor and also an Olympic gold medalist in rowing. Laurie himself pursued rowing at Selwyn College, but during a bout of glandular fever, he was forced to abandon the sport and joined the Cambridge Footlights, a university drama club where he met actress Emma Thompson.
