Q&A: Peter Jacobson

If you wrote an episode, what would you be sure your character did?
He would play basketball against Foreman and just go off on House. He would just take him down...and I mean wrestle.

What's on your pizza?
Pepperoni and black olives. As a born and bred Chicagoan, I am very, very guarded about that question. I am very proud of the pizza I grew up with.

What song is on your personal soundtrack?
"Hey Jude" by The Beatles

What do you like to do in the show's offseason?
Be at home with my family. I like to read, also.

It's 11AM on Sunday - where are you and what are you doing?
I am at home, playing with legos with my kid.

If you could call dibs now on any prop from the show what would it be?
The cane is too obvious. I like that head in House's outer office, it like a bust that's half exposed and you see the big eyeball. I love that thing.

What has been your favorite case?
I like the one with the cat, the one where I got fired. It was where you thought that the cat might have been predicting people's deaths. They were just warm; she was lying on them because they were warm.
