He's more Wilson than Wilson.
Yes
Think he's gotta tone down the Wilson when the cameras roll
People say Hugh was born to play House, but Robert is literally born to play Wilson
The word play at the end might be redundant
@@chaitanyavelamala7268 He was born Wilson
0:18 Laurie judging every word that comes out of Robert just like house did with Wilson :D
Idk, I always see him as Jeremy from My Best Friend is a Vampire.
I don’t think Hugh got the Sid and Marty Croft reference. Maybe their shows didn’t run in England.
So he's still Wilson off screen XD
stickyfingers lmfaooo
yep lol
Ikr
Yes haha
Actually Wilson is much more introverted and internalized than him. But at very specific moments in his character's journey Bobby would come out of him. It's interesting to watch.
I met him when I was in drama school...I was shadowing a stage manager backstage during a play Rob was in, in NY. He was one of the nicest, down to earth people I've ever met! He'd go on to do a scene, then come off and we'd talk and joke...he smiles a lot and is a rlly cool guy! :)
Lucky
OH MY😭❤️
I WISHHH
WHAT.
I think of all the relationships within House,the House/Wilson one is the one i've always enjoyed because I think both the actors would have really enjoyed it.
"I love to be the guy the guy relies on." lol he's so great on house. All of them are. This is one of my favorite shows. My mom went to school with him growing up and she saw him on house and she was like, "wait, I know him."
robert sean leonard is actully really funny, even in the house bloopers, he was the one making all the jokes
you’re acting like we didn’t know haha
I never could find any bloopers. There are only verry short ones in youtube. Where can I look for them?
@@Adream-gk9vpthere’s a good amount of them on tiktok lol
I love this man.
me too !!!!!!
lmao i loved that scene, house being stumped was priceless
"...And I'm not wasting another moment denying that"
This show definitely got the perfect main cast. It's like playing their roles was what they could have been in an alternate reality. It's that good.
Robert Sean Leonard was brilliant because he knew how to downplay his role to bolster High Laurie’s role. The fact is two Hugh Laurie’s would be intolerable and unwatchable so you need Robert Sean Leonard to make it all work. He was brilliant as Wilson and made Wilson real and relatable.
"that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard." lmao
He's really attractive. I could listen to him talk for hours.
The guy who shoots House in season 2 is called "Jack Moriarty". Just throwing that out there
Great actor... Deap Poet Society, Swing Kids and now House.. Everything he's been in is terrific :)
Im 16 and i have watched the dead poet's society for the firt time and i know he has a family now and he's way too old for me now but idc i love him .
Same sister 😂😂😂
LMAOOO SAME BESTIE I CAN'T ACCEPT THE FACT THAT HE'S OLDER NOW 💔 I REALLY WISH HE'S STILL AS YOUNG AS HE WAS IN DPS
@@andikaputri2625 lmao i see you in every DPS video
Honestly, I wish I was born on his generation, they didn't have internet or social media, but they did have most of the commodities we have nowadays, best time to be alive
I was a teenager when DPS came out and I have LOVED Robert Sean Leonard ever since. He’s so cute and funny and awesome!
We don't have enough Robert Sean Leonard
My favorite on-screen duo throughout my 60 years. Best casting in history.
adorable. i love how honest he is about auditioning and the show numbers
He is such a great actor. And he's cute to boot!
Awwww he stumbles over himself. He's sooo adorable!
"That the guy solves crimes with maaa..."
Hahaha, his face when he's saying this is just priceless :-D
haha @ 0:42, the way foreman is laughing, exactly the same as in House. It's so much fun to see them talking about their roles. To see them Live instead of in the serie. They are at this moment hero's to me:D
I just discovered House (thank you Netflix!) and now I'm in love with RSL :(
Based on stuff I read I think he prefers to do theater work, being low-ket etc but I wish he's on more projects :(
I see him in everything and I still see Neal, not because of his acting skills, but because the character lives in my heart.
RSL is amazing.
I love him! He's like my fav character on the show..... combined with Hugh whos brilliant too!
Oh, how I adore RSL and his adorkable loveliness! :D :D
I love Wilson! He's my favorite after House,
Such a nice guy and Jennifer Morrison looks so beautiful.
Wilson was my fav character robert is so sweet
He was EXCEPTIONAL in Much Ado About Nothing. And he always is in everything he does.
Still in love with this man
The Watson-Holmes thing is soooooooo true. I've been thinking about this for ages.
That's just RSL, a very wry sense of humor. I just love his interviews!
you realize that sherlock holmes still needs his watson and cant live without him... the sacrifice at the season finale was so touching, oh god im gana go cry again.
I LOVE U ROBERT SEAN LEONARD!!! YOUR A GREAT FRIEND!!!
Fantastic actor in House. Looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪
WOW I love this man
His puppy eyes 😂😂😂❤ i love so much
House and Wilson...Holmes and Watson...COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!
+Ali Abbasi They did that on purpose. James is also similar to John. Don't forget House lives at 221B Baker Street. They're not trying to be subtle about it LOL the characters are based off of Arthur Conan Doyle's characters.
DONT RUIN MY EPIPHANY
Yes! Also, HOUSE and HOLMES (house and home), House is a drug-addicted genius whose abrasive personality and extraordinary intellect isolates him from everyone but one flawed but unflaggingly loyal companion (Wilson.) And Sherlock Holmes is...a drug-addicted genius whose abrasive personality and extraordinary intellect isolates him from everyone but one flawed but unflaggingly loyal companion (Watson). Also, Watson has a limp and walks with a cane. House has a limp and walks with a cane.
The character is largely formed around Holmes. Even houses apartment address (the number on his door) is the same as Holmes.
Joe Douglas LOL way to point out what's already been stated in these comments more than once. I think Ali Abbasi gets the point now.
He is so underrated. He became Wilson so well. Love him. So handsome too
This guy needs to do more comedy, Dude is hilarious XD
Technically, House didn't get cancelled. Fox didn't decide to pull the plug halfway. It was consensual with everyone on the decision-making board. But anyway, my point was that House has been much more of a success than Numb3rs, and I guess that's something we can all agree on. :)
omg I love him sooo much 😭😭😭😭😭
He's so cute!!! WOW I love him
Wilson my favorite actor ,
I would like to have a friend like wilson !!!!!!!! the best friend a person could have , look at what the House did and he did not give up ,
lost his wife in the accident the house humiliated him and he still remained friends .
yeah a friend who does everything you ask lol
He stutters even more than his role! I mean, I love RSL and absolutely adore him as an actor because he's brilliant but watching this makes me wonder how this guy is ever able to secure a role!
Probably easier to not stutter when you already know what you're supposed to say
I love that he commented on how House is somewhat Holmesian. And he's a little like Watson anyway, which means he's a perfect Wilson.
Yay. :)
He's so cute. He looks like a young Bill Nye.
He´s a beautiful man and an excellent actor.Love him!!
I love this actor.
I see, Wilson plays Robert Sean Leonard very well!
Love Wilson!
But he is still my “oh captain my captain!”
His father won. He did become a doctor.
he is sooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuute...
What a beautiful baby 💜
He is so adorable. :)
Not every show that ends means it got "cancelled". House didn't get cancelled; they just decided to finally end the show.
One of the shows than are perfectly casted top to bottom
i too, am in this video
i love you neil perry
Robert sean Leonard ist so süß ❤❤❤
He. Always reminded me of jim carry
I've loved him since "My Best Friend is a Vampire," and I'm not even kidding.
love him!
he's my third favourite. after Chase and House.
@ediself "with numbers."
There's another show called 'Numbers', about solving crimes using numbers/math. which at that time, Robert was reading the pilot of the show, was going to audition for that show, but he saw the script for 'House' before he auditioned.
Is there anywhere I can watch the full interview? Like the whole thing
love of my lifeeeeee
yup, in Poland it airs on Sundays at 10PM, just after CSI Miami, and followed by Bones.
Ilove Wilson .
Robert Sean Leopard is my fursona ❤️
i too am in this video
hes criminally cute. absolutely adorable. like, i dont know him and im sure he wouldnt describe himself that way but come ON. that faCE.
I love him 🥹
But Wilson, how many pages was YOUR script?
Chases was 6, and Hughs was 3?
Omg! I never realized this is the same person from Much Ado About Nothing. 🤯
Wilson was awesome
0:19 15 years into the future sure as hell confirm his statement
Wilson 😍
@Autonova yeahhhh i really didn't get it ...mind explaining what he is talking about??
Dr. Wilson... Like u
hard for a little french, he speaks so quickly that i don't understand all that he say :/
dubbing actors is not bad in French ^^
Subtitles are best.
pas, pas, anglais is better
Wait, was the "solves crime" show Dexter? I'm not well versed in tv from this time period lol.
@wilpb14 Well the idea just occurred to me while watching this. It makes a lot of sense that they intended that. I can really see the connection.
He and i were born in one day of year - 28 of february))🙃
Was he on SPEEEEEEEED??
WILSON! Numb3rs is a good show >:(
spoilers
your dead girlfriend was in it as an extra!
watch all 8 seasons of house on netflix. your welcome
It's not on Netflix
Gryffix LOL that's odd because I have binge watched 7 season so far and will start 8 soon.........Maybe it's only on Netflix Canada or other.
BTW Amber Tamblyn is HOT!
Gryffix What rock have you been living under? It's on netflix
Juno Misty111114 Hey..... Don't judge. Rocks are great.
I did, it was awesome
Yes.
I look just like him, the resemblance is uncanny.
Have you ever watched Numb3rs?
Wilson is a serious Jim Carrey clone :D
"That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard." OY! Numb3rs pwns, Rob.
@EnigmaDrath totally agree. and to be honest i love watching hollywood movies and ive even watched hollywood's version of sherlock holmes by robert downey jr. but BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH n MARTIN FREEMAN are the shit.. no one does sherlock holmes any better.
If you are indeed a "hudge" fan of the series, you'd know that it is JAMES Wilson.
does anyone know where the full show is
He can't be more Wilson
Gotta love RSL
did he get the part?
I love Wilson. I want him to be my cool uncle. :)
yeah, my uncle
