David Shore Chat

Judy - the ever web-wandering House lover - found a great site! It’s a chat that happened between David Shore and fans of House on May 24. Here are a few highlights:

Guest (May 24, 2007 4:17:08 PM) Where did the idea for House’s latest cane, the black one with the flames on it, come from?

David Shore (May 24, 2007 4:17:08 PM) Every now and again Hugh will ask for a new cane and he liked the red paint flame look and the props department got busy. He got into designing his own canes!

I have to admit - that got me! Imagine - Hugh Laurie designs some of his own canes!

Guest (May 24, 2007 4:37:24 PM) Mr Shore, I had heard that when Hugh Laurie auditioned for the part of Greg House, not only had the casters not heard of him before, they did not know he was English. Is that true? I ask because I am married to a Brit girl and have been acquainted with his work for years.

David Shore (May 24, 2007 4:37:24 PM) It is true that Brian Singer, the director, didn’t know who he was and didn’t know that he was English and went a step further to insist that that would not cast a foreigner because of logistics. But Brian watched the tape and was convinced Hugh was American. I knew that Hugh was great and English - a shock to Brian!

See, now that doesn’t surprise me - a casting director being shocked that an actor can actually ACT…amazing…

beanzy (May 24, 2007 4:43:24 PM) How did you come up with the idea for House? Is it based on someone you knew?

David Shore (May 24, 2007 4:43:24 PM) It’s not based on any one specific person but the House character was brewing for a while and I particularly liked the idea of a doctor who says the things they would only say once you’ve left the room to your face.

The proverbial fly on the wall! Brilliance! To see the entire chat log, click here.

Thanks again Judy!

If anyone finds something that they think would interest other House fans, please feel free to send it right to me!
