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 coughed, caught off guard. "Oh please, you know you are."

"No," said House, and then grinned. "Actually... that would be a great plot point. Hospital administration trying to get him to cut his hair."

"I would like Jett to have chaotic bisexual energy," House said.

House shrugged. "Good. I'd cast a straight actor if I had to, but reluctantly."

"... maybe. But I don't particularly care." House took another drink. "For what it's worth, I myself am chaotic bisexual."

"I already googled you," House chuckled, and tipped his glass against Nyx's.

"I did," said House. "Did you google me? On your phone, over your first margarita?"

It was weird that there were articles about him now. Not just obscure medical things. But like... human interest pieces or whatever. He'd hung up on the first reporter who'd asked him about losing his license, though his arrest record was public, so that came out pretty quickly. There was also a lot of weird misinformation floating around about why he used a cane.

"The good news about Hollywood compared to medicine," House said, "is that they don't particularly care if you have a drug problem as long as you're functional. And in my case, the drugs make me functional."

"So you've got your shit together more than Jett?" House observed. Or him, for that matter.

"That's good," said House. "That's very good."

Then he added, "Seriously though, why leave music for this circus? You just get bored of screaming fans and people throwing their underwear at you?”

"I hear therapy is helpful for the kind of thing," House said. Then he added, "I mean, I get it. You’re scared because people start to think they own you. Can’t blame you for wanting to disappear for a while. Just don’t mistake someone else’s words for a shield, they're not going to save you either. I've been around actors for long enough now to know that it's just as invasive."

“What’s harder, a five-minute solo in front of 50,000 people or five lines in front of a camera?” House asked.

"Well that's convenient," said House. "I get the impression you might be a bit of a challenge to direct though." He shrugged. "Not that that's my problem."
