Facts About the Show

+ Hugh Laurie, who plays House on the show, is actually British. He's starred in many British comedy films and テレビ series' but House is his first American テレビ endeavor.

+ Hugh Laurie is also a writer (he's written a novel called The Gun Seller), a musician (he plays a number of instruments) and rides a motorcycle.

+ Robert Sean Leonard (Dr. James Wilson) starred in The バイオレット 時 with Scott Foley. Foley made a cameo appearence as a pro baseball player in "Sports Medicine", an episode of House. Coincidence? I think not.

+ Hugh Laurie suffers from clinical depression. His bouts of depression leave him feeling pretty worthless and that even with all the success House has brought him and the fact he gives a pretty phanominal performance as him, Laurie feels he dosen't deserve it. In fact he can often be seen on the set of House sitting on the pavement worrying what he's done isn't good enough.

+ In "Fidelity", House is watching TV and the credits roll onto the screen. One of the names is "Marcy Kaplan" who is supposedly a hair stylist. Marcy G. Kaplan is one of the producers of the show. Clever!

+ In "Control", the guy who can't talk is named Mr. バン der Meer. Garet バン der Meer is also a producer of the show. I guess the writers figure they're being clever and that nobody will notice something like that. But oh, how wrong they are.

+ In "Sports Medicine", Bryan Singer (one of the Executive Producers of the show) plays the director who's doing the anti-drug commerical in the very beginning of the episode.

+ Hugh Laurie plays the piano, saxophone, slide and acoustic ギター and harmonica.

+ Hugh's full name is James Hugh Calum Laurie.

+ Did あなた know that Hugh has a passion for motorbikes? He started riding when he was ten and has been for 30 years. He can handle a bike pretty well and says that he's a better rider than he is a driver because he rides more. When he realised House was a success the first thing he did was buy a new bike, a replica of a classic sixties bike, a Triumph Bonneville and believes it is one of the greatest bikes of all time.
He prefers the Triumph to a Harley davidson because; "Harleys are slow, expensive, can't corner and don't stop very well. They look like a ショップ window of Harrods' at Christmas."
He's also not a big ファン of the way Californians drive, he says in a 最近 interview; "They have big cars here and they are the most pathetic motorists I have ever come across any where in the world without exception. Last saturday I went driving with my wife, Jo. We were on the road for 90 分 and we saw three accidents. The third was a man who'd turned his car over onto his roof driving along DEAD STRAIGHT road. How did he manage that?! In ロンドン あなた could drive for a 年 and probably wouldn't see three accidents."

+ Jesse Spencer (Dr. Chase) and Jennifer Morrison (Dr. Cameron) are actually dating in real life.

+ Robert Sean Leonard (Dr. Wilson) played a student who commits suicide rather than becoming a doctor in the film Dead Poets Society.
