House is finally introducing us to the missing branch in Foreman’s family tree.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Orlando Jones has been cast as Foreman’s estranged (and currently incarcerated) brother, Marcus.
Although we have previously met Foreman’s father and mother (played by Charles S. Dutton and Beverly Todd, respectively), his brother has only been mentioned in passing. Little is know about Marcus except that he, like Foreman, had a troubled childhood.
Jones’ episode, which has already been shot and is scheduled to air in February, finds the siblings reconnecting on the eve of Marcus’ parole hearing. Not surprisingly, House sticks his nose where it doesn’t belong, but the less I say about that piece of the story the better (my annual invite to David Shore and Katie Jacobs’ New Year’s Eve slumber party is already in danger of getting lost in the mail). Just trust me when I say his meddling leads to a pretty big development.
Great casting, don’tcha think?

I would watch Orlando Jones in anything, being is House just makes it a better treat
Bout Time Orlando Jones got more screen time! From The Replacements to Drumline, OJ needs his own show!
I so agree. He has such a range that he can be great in anything.
No – more movies please. I would not like to see him move to TV permanently.
Love him, but not ecstatic on another Foreman centric episde.
Anyways, Cuddy should leave. Her fans are annoying.
But whatever, it’s not like I watch.
Scrubs+Mercy+ER+Grey’s Anatomy = better than this show that is House MD. Seperately.
House is better than Scurbs+Mercy+GA+ER combined. The end.
LOL. Not. Agree with Lilac.
All the fangirls here have got to stfu on opinions.
Agreed.
Mercy is awful, Grey’s is a soap, ER isn’t even on tv anymore, and Scrubs used to be good.
[H]ouse is king of the medical drama.
Hamerons are still here spreading bitterness!
House used to be much better, Huddy makes it pretty soapish on the other hand. Speaking as a non-shipper who’d rather see House/Wilson or House/Cameron than any other pairing.
Huddy is Dead! Long live the Luddites! (j/k)
OMG, Hamerons will never go away! They are zombies.
If you don’t watch House what are you doing here?
Not that excited about another Foreman centric episode either. I’d prefer Cameron back and more House/original team! Or Blythe House! I’d love to see her again!
Lilac
your stupid
Wanna bet she’s a hameron?
Wanna bet your stupid? And I bet you don’t get how ridiculous you are. I bet you’re Huddy, right?
My stupid what? And no, considering how hamerons keep acting that was just pointing out the obvious.
Btw, I’m all for House and Stacy and I like Cuddy and Lucas together.
That’s awesome news! I love Orlando Jones!
Nice casting. Shows once again why House is the best show on TV and the most watched show in the world.
True!
Great casting, yes.
“…his meddling leads to a pretty big development” On House that always means someone is fired or quits. He we go again! Is it Foreman’s turn this time?
Not always. Sometimes it means House hallucinates.
Great! House is the best show ever
Uh oh.. Ausiello is in trouble!
Yawn.
I’m pretty excited about this episode. Foreman has always been among the top of my list, as long as he’s not paired with Thirteen.
Can’t wait. I’ve been curious about Foreman’s brother since S1.
Ok. I officially love Foreman’s family. Dutton, Todd … now Jones. Epic!
eh i’m not really familiar with this guy.
but a huge LOL at all the comments here.
Oh, great – I was wondering what happened to D.H. Hughley. Left CNN for a gig on House.
You mean DL Hughley
The best casting would have been Mike Tomlin – the coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Everytime I see him standing on the sidelines I say ‘there’s Dr. Foreman.’
Ha – posted the same thing before I saw your comment. Seriously, right? It would have been perfect!
yes, they look like twins!
Never thought of that, but come to think of it now. It’s so true!
OMG…Lisa… Foreman does look exactly like Mike Tomlin from the Steelers.
I would sooner be seeing a story line about Wilsons long lost brother, but anyways! Orlando Jones is a good choice. I have to say House is getting some A+ guest stars this year.
So would I. They dropped that plotline like a hot potato.
Agreed! Where -did- David…Daniel…SOMEBODY Wilson go? He evaporated after “The Social Contract.”
Daniel went the way of all the other David Shore/Katie Jacobs lies. They just disappeared into the ether with the hope that no one would remember.
Nothing personal to you, Michael, but… Yaawwwnnn! Okay, seriously: more Foreman?
She is brilliant, humorous, gnenrous, and crack a smile sometimes. This image of abundant emotions absoulutely outpace her “HR manage, Monthly income over $10,000″ life tag image. Express your emotion in ((Sug=rloves+C om , let youself, life change to a peotic picture. THIS woman like that always reversed all sentient beings, got the love of whole world men!
oh, sorrry! It is sugar….
After tonight’s episode, I’m open to anything that may improve this show.
dang – was hoping they’d go unconventional and get Mike Tomlin. They’re practically twins!
Neil Patrick Harris wasn’t available?
Ugh, I hate Foreman. He’s not likable, he’s not funny, and he’s so self righteous. Drop Foreman and bring Cameron back please.
House + Wilson + Cuddy = <3
The Holy Trinity. They are amazing. Go House, Cuddy and Wilson!
SWEET! I like Orlando Jones. And I’m glad you’re not spilling more, Ausiello. I was a little ticked that you spoiled us about Cameron leaving, but I guess that’s what I get for reading spoilers.
Just when I thought this TV show couldn’t get any better..
I think if this is handled right it could be a great episode. Europhia part 1 & 2 were Foreman centric episodes that were very good. Plus in these last few episode that didn’t focus on him and 13 he was a lot more likeable.
I am crazy about Wilson and want to see more of HIM.
