He'd told his manager he wasn't sure the part was for him, that he didn't think he looked much like a doctor- And he didn't. He'd turned out to be a damned fine actor, good enough to leave music behind, but he still looked like a rock star with his long wild hair and those eternally tired eyes.

"Just go, see how it goes," his agent had urged. "This could be a breakout role for you in America."

So now he was here in some room with a dozen other actors he sort of recognized, slouched low in his seat as his eyes skimmed over them all. He was judging in silence, but definitely judging.

House was pretty sure he'd probably been told to do an American accent. But now that House heard him do the character in that actual accent.. fuck, he really liked it. And that was not going to be helpful for making this not seem like Chase fanfiction.

Still, he didn't ask him to change it.

"If I wanted advice on life choices, I’d ask someone who doesn’t look like they just crawled out of a Nirvana concert." House said this pretty flatly. He wasn't acting, he had no idea how to act. Just reading lines.

They kept going through the script until they got to the almost-end and House read the line: "Get out of here, you're wasting my time."

Though he definitely was not feeling that line right now.

That purr was definitely not the obvious interpretation from the stage direction. The two guys before him had both read it as a straightforward joke. Cocky, almost sarcastic.

If this were a real scene from the pilot, House would never let him play it like this. Too much for the first episode to be that blatant about sexual tension between the characters. Hell, he hadn't even thought that would ever be so blatant. He just saw Jett as flirting with everyone. An intentional contrast to Grant, who prickly with everyone.

Still. It was a good interpretation of the material. And either Nyx was some shade of queer or he was a considerably better actor than the two obviously straight guys who had just read. Actually, probably both.

They did the last couple of lines, and House flipped his script closed. "What do you think of the character?"

House didn't actually find that insulting in the least. "They'll make you do an American accent in the callback," he said. "Feel free to suck at it. I like the accent. I think you'll be a fucking heart throb over here." Which frankly was one of his intentions with the character. Meanwhile he couldn't care less about hiring a super model for Blake.

"Would you want the role if you got it?" House asked him, because he knew that wasn't always a given. And if he was going to end up having to stick his neck out for an unconventional choice then he'd rather know up front.

"Word on the street is I'm hard to work with," House said.

House snorted, amused. “This character is a diva and a tart,” he said. “And if you’re playing him I guess he’s someone who would actually say tart.” He paused and then added, “You may want to google me too, though I’m afraid it’s not quite that salacious.” Though the “drug problem” leading to losing his license was the worst of it really, House didn’t give a shit if the other writers and some of the actors on his last show hated him.

Oh god House hoped that the kid didn’t think he needed to flirt with him to get the part. That would be humiliating. Though a little part of him found it fun to pretend for a moment. He offered him a little smile in return.

“Well I guess… I don’t really need to see anymore,” he said.

“Nah, I’ll do it,” House said. He stood as well, shifting his weight to his good leg, and took his hand. “You’ll hear something more soon.”

House looked surprised. “Just to be clear, you do know my palm doesn’t need greasing, right?”

He must know what it would look like, House thought. House certainly didn't care. But to a casual observer, why the hell else would this guy want to go out with him?

"I'd just hate for your poor taste in company to sully your reputation," House said. "But sure, I'll have a drink with you. Maybe we could meet up in a few hours." He scrawled his number on a post-it note and passed it across the desk.

"Sure," said House, and found himself wondering if he actually would. "I'll... see you soon, then."

He really did just kind of want to send the others home. At least one of them had been very close to being on the "you look like you belong in a soap opera" chopping block already.
