Who else watched Dave on House last night? I have to admit I’ve never watched an episode of House before and the only reason I watched last night was Dave. Dave and Dave alone. I’ve heard he’s an okay actor (I have yet to rent the kiddie flicks) so I wanted to check him out. I’m a big fan of the man and if you have ever heard his life story you know why. Humility, humor, and heart all there.
House was…well…something else. During a concert Dave will stutter and say silly things that leave me questioning his state of mind. Last night was either brilliant or more evidence that the guy has a screw rattled. He played the part of a savant perfectly. His smiling face was vacant and childlike, scared and innocent. My only problem was trying to separate the musician from the actor. At one point I couldn’t help but blurt out “Oh no, don’t shave Dave’s head!”
Seeing Dave in an acting role was cool. It didn’t make me a fan of House. I didn’t get Dr. House at all. I spent more time wondering if he was always “like that” or was it just this episode? Either way, I watched for Dave.

It was my least favorite episode of the third season so far. Daves character was unbelieveable to me.. I don’t think it had much to do with anyones acting ability, but perhaps. I think more that he was too old for the part.
I did like that Daves characters father was Red Foreman.
I used to work with two mentally challenged individuals and Dave acted just like them. The subtle facial expressions for fear, joy and confusion were perfect. I agree that it was hard to take him for a 35 yr old. I still couldn’t separate the artist from the actor, though.
