Role In House MD Tv Show

In House MD, he plays the role of Dr. Robert Chase. He works as a senior surgeon and intensive care specialist in the department of surgery. He seems to have been influenced by Dr. House to a great extent as he previously exhibited a liking for insulting patients behind their backs, and clearly and explicitly enjoyed watching Dr. House tear into others. He also finds House's behavior more amusing than other staff members do, and replicate House's mantra of "everybody lies" whenever a patient's full revelation of any requisite medical history is put under doubt.
