House
Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is devoid of anything resembling bedside manner and wouldn't even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic demeanor. Yet House is a brilliant diagnostician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts afford him respect, and he thrives on the challenge to solve medical puzzles in order to save lives.
