Houdinis

I love House.  I loved it before I was on it, I've continued to watch since, and I can't get enough Hugh Laurie.  Working with him AND Robert Sean Leonard was literally "a dream come true."  I took an acting class a few years back in NYC and it was an audition technique class.  The teacher - who I loved and respected - said, "Google Hugh Laurie's audition for House.  It is brilliant." The first time I watched it I thought, Really?  And then I watched it again and thought, Really.  That is how it is done.

At the Gator event I went to earlier this month, someone asked what an actor can do to get cast on House.  And Garrett said (I'm paraphrasing), I'm not really sure cause I'm not usually involved at that stage but to me it always seems like they cast the person that doesn't look like they are acting.

That is the key - a magician never reveals his tricks....and actors are magicians when they are doing it right.



As a side note, funny that the script quotes Mick Jagger in the audition...because they did the same thing on the show last night and even ended the episode with that song.
