House Starring Patrick Dempsey
Guess who else auditioned for the role of Dr. Gregory House? That’s right, Grey’s Anatomy star, Patrick Dempsey. From USA WEEKEND Magazine:
“It really hurt me during auditions. There was a 10-year period where I had to memorize pages of dialogue and invest so much of my time and energy into every audition, going in knowing that I wouldn’t get it anyway,” he says with a trace of bitterness. (Among the roles for which he auditioned was the lead on that other doctor show, Fox’s House; the part went to Hugh Laurie.) “When ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ came up, I was really at the breaking point. I was like, ‘I can’t do this anymore. I can’t keep auditioning.’ “
I think the casting directors got it right; I don’t know if Dempsey could pull off the astonishing heartlessness that Laurie manages each week. That said, have you checked out Grey’s Anatomy News, written by my fellow b5media blogger Ingrid Diaz?
