RSL's acting in the hit tv show HOUSE MD. is superb!!!!! i can't get enough of it. not to mention he's so cute :)
I've seen alot of his movies A Glimps Of Hell, Swing Kids, Killer: A Journal Of Murder, Dead Poets Society, and Mr. And Mrs. Bridge. My favorites been Swing Kids. All though I loved them all. I was wondering what are some other good ones?
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Robert Sean Leonard. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Fox has renewed its medical drama and put an end to stalled contract negotiations; will the show's eighth season be its last?
Plus: President Roslin might be the new Closer, NBC brings Chase back, and Dr. Wilson is out of the House.
Wonderful actor. Plays one of my favorite characters on the show House. He pulls of the loving, compasionate Wilson so incredibly well. I'm sure that must be a hard part of pull off considering how difficult a character House himself is, but James makes it believable that his character truly cares about this poor, bitter man who truly needs a friend like Wilson. He is such a good actor when it comes to having compasion, something I am sure must be difficult to portray, especially giving the characters he has to deal with. The only one that seems to come cloes is Cameron, and even she has her dark points.
I wasnt a big fan of Leonard's at the beginning of the time that i began watching this series. i must admit that the charcter interferred with my judgement, as i thought that he was boring, and well...useless. Boy was i wrong. The character is needed to balance out House (Hugh Laurie), and man is the actor who plays this character enough to tune in. Leonard pulls off everything that he is given, and has taught me a valuable lesson to not judge an actor based on the character that he or she plays. Personally i think that he deserves an emmy for his performance in the season finale in which Amber (guest star Anne Dudek) dies. Fantastic performance, and fantastic actor!
As Wilson on House Robert really doesn't get to show his full skill skit, but if you watch the season four finale you will get to see a good taste of it. Robert can seriously do no wrong because he seems to know where his talents lay when it comes to acting. He seems to see that he is suited for the more sensitive roles and they suit him back in return. He just knows how to play emotion so very well and make you believe it, as I said watch the season four finale of House and you will know exactly what I'm talking about. He's done it all. Stage, big screen and small screen and I think he can fit into them all with an incredible ease. He is obviously best known today for his role as Dr. James Wilson but he's done so many other great projects you can just see that he is versatile as well as amazingly talented.
I have been a big fan of Robert Sean Leonard since he costarred in the film Dead Poets Society with Robin Williams at the age of twenty. His acting in that film was very good for his age and relative lack of inexperience. Several years later, he received another large role in the feature film "Much Ado About Nothing." Then, in my opinion, he fell off the radar doing mostly television appearances here and there until landing the role of Dr. James Wilson on Fox's TV series, House, MD. His chemistry with House actor Hugh Laurie is evident in the episodes, and it makes both of them better actors. I think Leonard played the part superbly and he is my favorite character on the show. His facial reactions to House's outrageous statements are appropriate and hilarious, and his genius intellect puts him almost at par with House -- just enough to know how to deal with him without being disappointed.
So, to be honest, I've never heard of RSL before House started. So I can't say I've been a long time fan. I CAN say that ever since House M.D. came out, I've been a fan! He's an amazing actor. Truely awesome and talented. He brings so many things along with different depths of characteristics into the show (the one thing I've seen him in) that you can't help but love him. He's intriguing to watch as an actor. He's truely funny as hell on House...the way he acts, it's priceless! LOL.
As far as his looks go...well, he's definitely easy on the eyes! Yummy! He gorgeous! That hair...those eyes! He's a very attractive man and is very sexy on screen and off. In all, I love him. He is definitely one of my favorite actors (although I do have a lot). ~Snyder~
