Can you play the cello?!
Unfortunately I never was much of a talent when it comes to music (I can only dabble at the piano my one and only hit being the theme for Twin Peaks) although a pianist friend once told me I was musical (for whatever that means). Fact of the matter is and I won’t lie to you my dear readers – I sing so out of tune as if an elephant farted in my ear
Don’t worry I haven’t gone mental, not yet anyway there is a point to this post.
According to Ausiello
With production slated to resume next week, House is looking to cast an actress in her early 20s to mid 30s who is proficient at playing the cello. Sounds like a run-of-the-mill patient-of-the-week, right? That’s what I thought. But then I read the fine print on the casting notice: Interested parties must be available from June 15 through July 15. (Rumor has it this could be another one of House’s fellow cuckoo nesters.)
So do you play cello?! Or maybe you are good on the drums (tried that once too but couldn’t coordinate myself sufficiently)
Answer me this: How are you on the drums? Producers are currently on the prowl for an older actor who “stomps to his own beat” and is a “real percussionist” to play one of House’s fellow patients. They’re also looking for a young actress who can play the cello if that’s a better fit for you. Let me know and I’ll see if I can set something up. Given your history, you may have to audition via closed circuit camera from the McDonald’s across the street from the studio. It’s nothing personal. It’s just a safeguard in case you lunge at Katie Jacobs with a hammer. BTW, all of these casting calls have me thinking House is going to form his own loony bin pit band. Hugh Laurie has already established that he can sing as well as play the piano, guitar, harmonica and saxophone. Call me crazy, but I think I’m on to something here.
And there you have it – it seems my favorite curmudgeon is going to form his own loony bin band. And the season premiere has been extended to 2 (TWO!) hours.
