Andre Braugher Checks Into House For New Season

Andre Braugher has joined the cast of House for the new season. Braugher is set to play Dr. Nolan, the head doctor in the hospital ward that House ends up in. House is his challenge. Hugh Laurie says he’s excited to work with Braugher. “I have admired him as one of the greatest actors there is,” says Laurie.

The September 21 premiere episode will take place entirely within the mental institution where Dr. House landed at the end of last season. The two hour episode will be directed by executive producer Katie Jacobs, who will shoot exterior footage at the same institution in New Jersey that was seen in last season’s closing moments.
