House is Right

Interview With Mira Sorvino About Her Role on House

by Lynn on January 25th, 2008

We know that episode 4.11, Frozen, will air immediately follwing the Super Bowl this year. It’s the most coveted TV time slot available and House has been the one to score it this year. Mira Sorvino will be a guest star in that episode and she recently did an interview about it. Here’s an excerpt:

So what is it that turns you on to this show, this character, and this particular story?
Well, I’m a crazy House fan. It’s my favorite show on T.V. and it’s funny because once I got pregnant with my first child, I ended up watching a lot more T.V. than I had for years and I just became absolutely addicted to House and just thought it was so intelligent and thought Hugh is so fantastic and the writing and the other characters. Everything about it just drew me in every week and continues to do so.

So when I met Hugh at the Golden Globe three years ago, and I was five months pregnant and nominated for Human Trafficking and he was nominated for House and we were all seated at the same table, I just started gushing about how much I loved the show. And I think I might have frightened him.

But then a few years later they called and said “We know Mira loves the show. We think we have one of the best female characters we’ve ever written on it. Would she like to come and do an episode?” I was really excited to do it, entering the world of my favorite show. It’s the equivalent of me as a child getting to go and … in the Six Million Dollar Man.

How funny that you still allow yourself to be a geeky fan instead of totally jaded by it all.
Well, I think the funny things is because when you’re a film actor, you kind of reserve T.V. as the last bastion of suspension of disbelief. You get used to the characters and you don’t really think about the way that it’s made. When I watch movies, I’m a lot more critical about the stunts, the edits, the performances. But on T.V. that’s my little place where, “Okay, I’m just watching.” I’m like everybody else; I’m just a spectator enjoying this.
