06/20: azcentral.com Interviews Robert Sean Leonard
azcentral.com has a great interview with Robert Sean Leonard.
Q.: So what drew you to House? Was Wilson the only part you auditioned for?
A.: Yes, I auditioned for the role of Wilson and didn't really know much about it. At the time, we didn't know who the lead was. None of us had seen the full script, and it wasn't called House. I thought it was an ensemble show. I knew it was a procedural. I love my character. He's nice but he's also sarcastic, which is great, because I would lose my mind otherwise. It's a good job. And I'm well-paid. It's ridiculous.
Q.: You sound like you're feel guilty.
A.: I do! Are you kidding me? My brother is a policeman; my sister's an English teacher. When I hear what they make versus what I make, it's ridiculous. I mean, I understand how it works. I can look at Derek Jeter's payroll and I get it: The numbers add up. The team makes this much a year, and he's 11 percent of why they make that much. So it makes sense. But it doesn't mean that it's not ludicrous. Things can be rational and ludicrous at the same time.
