played Dr. James Wilson in House
Wilson works at the hospital as an oncologist, and has been married and divorced three times. He is House's best (and possibly only) friend, chiefly because he has a unique ability to deal with House's arrogance. He does this mostly by shedding House's commentary, but has been known to rise to the occasion with barbs of his own. He once sawed partway through House's cane so that it would collapse under him at an inopportune time, rising to a challenge issued by House himself. During the fourth season, he became romantically involved with Amber, a washed out member of House's array of fellowship applicants. In the final two episodes of that season, House called on Wilson to retrieve him from a bar where he'd drunk himself past safely operating his motorcycle. Amber came, instead - she did this for Wilson, not for House whom she does not like. The pair was involved in a bus accident, and a bizarre combination of circumstances left her fatally intoxicated: she'd taken medication to ward off the flu, and when the crash damaged her kidneys, her body could not clear the drug, which reached fatal levels. It is unclear to what extent Wilson blames House for Amber's death; this may be a fifth season plot arc. |
