Personal Quote:
On living in America while filming House (2004): I do feel very foreign there, as if I'm on safari, looking at the exotic animals and the way they behave. Then again America is made up of people who don't feel American until they do, so I'm not alone in that. See more »Trivia:
Bought an all-black Triumph Bonneville motorcycle, a replica of the 1960s British model, in Los Angeles, upon getting the role on House (2004), but he was always an avid motorcyclist, even in England. He enjoys the anonymity the motorcycle helmet gives him. See more »Trademark:
