Gregory House is the main character of the series House M. D. (2004-2012), played by the British actor Hugh Laurie. A physician by profession, specializing in infectious diseases and nephrology, the character leads a diagnostic team at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro University Hospital and is described as bitter, sarcastic, cynical, sometimes manic, misanthropic, narcissistic, and curmudgeonly.
