No More Poker For Hugh

by Randi

Hugh says that it takes so much time and energy to prepare for filming House that he’s had to give up his late-night poker games.

“I make mistakes playing when I’m tired and then go to bed cursing myself. The good poker players are the ones that outlast everyone but I’ve had to give up because I wilt at the end of the day. Playing this part does actually involve more than just reading the lines out. It involves knowing how your character will move and how he will hold his coffee cup.”

Aww Hugh - thanks for the sacrifice! We fans really do appreciate it!
