    That would be a shame. I'd like to see him do comedy again, but in a way he's right, being lucky to have success is a pretty rare thing in TVland. Hopefully this will mean David Shore will end House this year.

    I presume this means he is going to focus on cinema rather than theatre? Hopefully he chooses good roles in future since the films I’ve seen him in previously have been mostly boring safe family friendly movies, apart from the recent Street Kings movie where he had a good part as a senior cop.

    Probably, yeah. Or maybe more music, who knows...

    He's a great musician but jaysus even Tom Waits would cringe at his attempts at singing!

    With the amount of money he's made from the show, he can do just about anything he wants. I wouldn't be surprised if he went in to TV or movie production, maybe directing?

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Think this is his plan. In an interview he was saying he's glad he can afford to play music now, and that that's his first love really. So I wouldn't be surprised to see it continue
