Actually Wilson is much more introverted and internalized than him. But at very specific moments in his character's journey Bobby would come out of him. It's interesting to watch.

I met him when I was in drama school...I was shadowing a stage manager backstage during a play Rob was in, in NY. He was one of the nicest, down to earth people I've ever met! He'd go on to do a scene, then come off and we'd talk and joke...he smiles a lot and is a rlly cool guy! :)

Robert Sean Leonard was brilliant because he knew how to downplay his role to bolster High Laurie’s role. The fact is two Hugh Laurie’s would be intolerable and unwatchable so you need Robert Sean Leonard to make it all work. He was brilliant as Wilson and made Wilson real and relatable.

Yes! Also, HOUSE and HOLMES (house and home), House is a drug-addicted genius whose abrasive personality and extraordinary intellect isolates him from everyone but one flawed but unflaggingly loyal companion (Wilson.) And Sherlock Holmes is...a drug-addicted genius whose abrasive personality and extraordinary intellect isolates him from everyone but one flawed but unflaggingly loyal companion (Watson). Also, Watson has a limp and walks with a cane. House has a limp and walks with a cane.

Technically, House didn't get cancelled. Fox didn't decide to pull the plug halfway. It was consensual with everyone on the decision-making board. But anyway, my point was that House has been much more of a success than Numb3rs, and I guess that's something we can all agree on. :)

he is shedding light on the TV industry in LA, where there are shitload of pilots and tv ideas that get written, and never make it to air frankly because of the fact that almost all of them are crap. therefore if you are an active TV actor in LA, the majority of your work is reading for shitty shows. and youre hoping for that ONE show that breaks through, like RSL in house. d(-_-)b
