David Morse Speaks About His Roll on House
Fellow House fan Grace sent me this little tidbit of information David Morse gave to TVGuide.com about his time on House last season:
TVGuide.com: How did it feel to stick it to Hugh Laurie’s curmudgeon on House?
Morse: [Laughs] Right now it feels painful because there are so many people who hold it against me! I had worked with David Chase, who ran Hack, and when they came up with the idea of a character who could stand up to Hugh Laurie’s character, he called me to see if I would be interested. I had not watched the show, so I mentioned it to some people I was with, and they said, “You have to do it!” It is such an unbelievable show and this character frankly needs somebody to go after him and put him in his place. So I said I’d give it a shot. It truly was great fun. Hugh is just amazing, and he really is a formidable character to go up against.

David Morse is such a good actor. I wish he would find a show that would showcase him like Hugh’s does.

David Morse is an excellent and amazing actor, he played so naturally well Tritter’s character that I only can say Bravo!
I didn’t like Tritter but I admire D.Morse.
Lynn, is there a way to pass this message to him?
Thanks

Mr. Morse’ portrayal of George Washington in the HBO film John Adams was the most accurate interpretation of Washington’s demeanor and personality I have seen.
