Here's an interview that Jeffrey Wright did with TVLine's Michael Ausiello about his guest star role in tonight's episode of House. Here's an excerpt from the interview where Wright talks about what attracted him to his role in tonight's episode:
TVLINE | What was it about this character, this role, that hooked you?
My friend, Mos Def, did an episode of House not very long ago, and he was really excited about it. He described the show as the best acting on television — the best acting happening anywhere — and that really kind of pulled my attention to the show. I was drawn to the writing; it’s fairly dense and complex stuff… challenging stuff for an actor. That combined with them [being] really enthusiastic about me coming on board was enough to draw me in. I [also] have a great deal of respect for Hugh [Laurie]; I’ve admired his work for some time. My wife is from London, so I understood a little bit about his career through her eyes.
