Random Trivia For This Title:

Hugh Laurie often forgets that House is single. At the beginning of some scenes, his wedding ring is on his left hand, but usually by the end of the scene, it's back on his right.
Hugh Laurie auditioned for the part of Dr. House via video shot in a hotel bathroom in Namibia, where he was shooting the film Flight of the Phoenix. "It was the only place with enough light," the actor claimed.
The address on the front of House's residence is "221B". Sherlock Holmes lived at 221B Baker Street, and House uses Holmesian deductive techniques to diagnose his patients' problems.
During Hugh Laurie's audition, David Shore says that Bryan Singer, one of the executive producers, said, "See, this is what I want: an American guy." Singer was completely unaware of the fact that Laurie is English.
Hugh Laurie's own dad was a doctor, and he feels a twinge of guilt at "being paid more to become a fake version of my own father".
