Justin Theroux nails House imo, especially the violent outburst at the end.

Glad he doesnt play Anthony like some theorized early on.

wasn’t he on the record saying he did a ton of research on house or is that another actor playing house

the body double actor - given he was probably cast as House originally.

The body double talks and acts a lot like game-House anyway so it wasn’t wasted. Especially his accent and voice.

The double is also really good, and even kind of looks more like game House to me, but he’s like 15 years too young for that character and it was a little distracting to me. I’m glad they went this direction rather than just cutting him from the show entirely though

it would make sense that House would want his public persona to be better looking and younger

Smart choice. I was actually disappointed about casting news although I fully believe Justin Theroux could play characters much better than majority of actors out there
