Line 15:
** The 15-year old model in "Skin Deep" is played by a then-27 year old actress.
** Cuddy's daughter is usually played by a much older child actress (looking about four or five) but is treated as though she's two. This is pretty jarring as it looks like the child has developmental disabilities.
* [[Defictionalization]] (sort of)/[[Life Imitates Art]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20100616225927/http://www.princetonhcs.org/default.aspx?p=6988 The Princeton University Hospital at Plainsboro], which opened in May 2012 (replacing the already existing [[wikipedia:University Medical Center at Princeton|University Medical Center at Princeton]]) and even looks somewhat like the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital. However, it has nothing to do with Princeton University (which has no medical school); it is instead loosely affiliated with the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, the medical unit of Rutgers University (in full: Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey).
* [[Development Gag]]: "Dead and Buried" had a toy zebra as an important clue. "Chasing Zebras" was considered as a title for the show, based on the medical saying “If you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.”
* [[Directed by Cast Member]]: "Lockdown", by [[Hugh Laurie]] himself.
Line 63:
*** And in French, his voice is [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Jafar]]'s.
* [[McLeaned]]: {{spoiler|When Kal Penn left the show to serve in the Obama administration, the producers had his character, Kutner, commit suicide. Though this was due to the first reason, not because of any friction with the rest of the cast. They just wanted some drama and a [[Very Special Episode]]. The director later joked that if he'd left for another acting role, the death would have been autoerotic asphyxiation}}.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Before ''House'', [[Hugh Laurie]] was famous in Britain as a comedian and half of the [[Stephen Fry|Fry]] [[A Bit of Fry and Laurie|and Laurie]] comedy team, as well as various [[Upper
* [[Romance on the Set]]: Jesse Spencer and Jennifer Morrison, who play Drs. Chase and Cameron. They were at one point engaged to be married, but called it off shortly before the wedding. Meanwhile, in a case of [[Real Life Writes the Plot]], their characters also got together romantically... but the plot didn't catch up to their [[Real Life]] breakup, so the actors were filming proposal and wedding scenes well after they had broken up.
** Almost but not quite: Michelle Trachtenberg (best known for playing Dawn Summers on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'') guest starred in the episode "Safe". She has admitted to having had a crush on Hugh Laurie and writing "I love you" on her inner thigh before a scene where he would see it. We might be getting to [[Stalker with a Crush]] territory with that.
