House, M.D.

Main characters

• Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) – department head: diagnostic medicine. Specialties: infectious disease, nephrology. Lived with Stacy Warner for five years.
• Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) – administration: Dean of Medicine. Though commonly seen as a thorn in House's side, she is an ally and frequently acquiesces to House's (often outlandish) medical requests.
• Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps) – department: diagnostic medicine. Specialty: neurology. House told him in the pilot that one reason he was hired was because he was a former juvenile delinquent who once broke into houses.
• Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) – department head: oncology. House's best (and only) friend. Currently married to his third wife, Julie, though it has been insinuated that the marriage isn't a happy one.
• Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) – department: diagnostic medicine. Specialty: immunology. She was seen as a potential love interest for House in the first season, although she now claims to "hate like everybody else." Became a widow whilst in college.
• Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer) – department: diagnostic medicine. Specialty: intensive care. Secretly traded details about House's activities to Vogler for job security in the first season. An Australian from a wealthy family.
