Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the first official House scoop of the new season: Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda has been cast as House’s psych hospital roomie, sources confirm to me exclusively.
Miranda, best known for writing and starring in the Broadway musical In the Heights, will appear in at least two episodes beginning with the show’s sixth season premiere this fall.
A House insider tells me producers are looking for other “interesting actors” to populate the psychiatric facility that became House’s home in last month’s finale. So if you’re an actor who excels at riding the crazy train, forward this story to your agent ASAP.
Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes the first official House scoop of the new season.
