Interview with Jesse Spencer

Jesse Spencer as Dr. Robert Chase
Sarrah Le Marquand of the Courier-Mail has a nice little interview with our Dr. Robert Chase, played by Aussie actor Jesse Spencer. The main topic: Just how did Spencer get the gig?

My agent rang up and said they had a pilot and I said, “What’s the point of me going in for that? I’m sick of going in for these roles that I’m never right for.’ I’ll go in for stuff that pushes the boundaries, but 36?

And they said, “Well what else are you going to do?” and I said, “I don’t know . . . go to the pub.”

    My name is Inês and I have been reading your comments.Honestly,I agree with IDiana.You made other people’s life miserable.They were actually thinking they were talking to Jesse and making contact to him and not talking to an impersonator.I do not believe Jonathon should go to jail because,well,I believe he only impersonated you because he wanted this mistery to end.You might go to jail if this accidentaly is seen by Jesse.He can sue you for impersonating.And what did you mean by saying that Jen has no friends?Do YOU have friends?If you did have friends you wouldnt write something this stupid.

    Sincerely,

    Inês Melo.

    Actually, after Jonathan admitted to this, there was another post by two teenage girls who were mad because he took credit for their prank. They called everyone names and talked trash about us all, so I did just what I promised to do several posts back, and I deleted their post. The actual impersonators were the teenage girls, and they really made fools of themselves.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    I’m a little confused. If this guy Jonathan has been impersonating Jesse on this site, why would Diana write to Amanda and Rebecca? Could someone please explain this to me? Thank you.

    (NOTE: this is from a different Lynn than writes this blog.)

    Dear Amanda & Rebecca,

    we are schocked with your childish attitude.Impersonating someone is the most horrible and stupid crime anyone can commit.You can go to prison for that,you know?
    We fans feel extremely angry for you.You call us stupid but the stupid ones are you.If you want to be considered famous do something that you can be proud of.You both disgust me and you can burn in hell.

    Sincerely,

    Diana Simões.

    Dear Jesse Spencer fans,

    I am proud (okay,not that proud) to annonce that I have been impersonating Jesse for the past months.I would like to apologize you fans and Jesse Spencer for impersonating him.
    Once again,my apologies.

    Sincerely,

    Jonathan McConaughey.

    Jesse,

    You are not doing a very good job of impersonating the real Jesse! Few too many mistakes. Jesse’s brothers have been overseas, One is living in the UK at the moment. And, Jesse has been to Spain recently, two days before his engagement he spend a week in Barcelona. Better do your research a bit better!!

    hi jesse
    i just wanted to let you know that i’m just such a big fan of yours!i know this is going to seem really geeky but ive noticed that princeton plainsborro seems to have a lot of floors and i was wondering if the set actually has lots of different floors or if it’s just one big place. i also wanted to congratulate you on your new movie flourish. it was a really good movie, jennifer and you really made it amazing. i have another question about that too, i heard a rumor that the girl who plays lucy guest starred on house once. is that tru? well thank you for posting on this board. i was so excited to see your posts!!!
    ~lori deighton
    p.s. i have no doubt its actually jesse. i just cant understand why anyone would take the time to impersonate a celebrity, its not like he would get payed or anything so whats the point? go jesse!

    Jesse,

    I was wondering is Jen really friends with Ashlee Simpson. I have seen episodes of Ashlee’s show and Jen was in it.

    Er … I mean one more thing and … sorry I’m posting twice, but apparently my post was too long and it had to be shortened. Here’s the rest of what I’ve written:

    Yours,
    Vanessa

    P.S.: Please excuse my bad English. I’m from Germany and have been learning it for 4 1/2 years now, so I hope you understand.

  13. By Vanessa

    Well … dear Jesse, I mean, if it’s you,

    I really like you as an actor and I also like you … er … outward appearence. :D “The hair is adorable – I don’t deny that” … you know what I mean, don’t you? I also do like Chase and … to be honest, I don’t really know what to say. It would be really nice if you e-mailed me. My e-mail adress is Vanessa-G@hotmail.de Maybe it’s not you but some guy who has only got a virtual life, but if it’s you, I just want you to know that I really appreciate your work and that I like the series House and … stuff. ;D

    Just one thing more: I love your accent!

    all of u guys are so quick to jump to conclusions. i read in US weekly a long time ago (i save all the jesse pics and articles!!!) that he was only in las vegas for like a few hours or something, and that doesn’t really count because he didn’t even spend the night or anything. i don’t know about you guys, but i don’t really consider having gone to a place unless i’ve actually spent the night there and seen the city a bit. it was obvious he meant that he’s never been there on vacation, which as far as we know he hasn’t. jesse, i still believe it’s u and i don’t care what people are saying. u are such an amazing actor and i love the show house!!!! i also think you’re really good looking too. could you please email me??? my email address is staci_24@hotmail.com. i know some people don’t believe you but i really do so please please email me because i want to ask u some questions about house and being an actor!!!! and i love jennifer. she’s so pretty!!

    lots of love and best wishes,

    staci

    Ok, have been suspecting this for some time, but did not want to delete messages that had a remote chance of being from Jesse.

    This is my notice that any message from the person who has been posting these, posing as Jesse, will be deleted.

    My sincere apologies to all the fans!!

  16. By Diana

    OMG!Maybe Sara’s right!You should get a life,you f****** asshole!If this is really Jesse,I’m sorry!

    “We’re thinking Vegas! I’ve never been, but Jennifer assures me it will be a lot of fun. Haven’t picked out my tux yet, but I hear Jennifer’s dress is gorgeous”.
    —————

    Jesse,
    I love your work on House! The cast is perfect, enough so that it’s the only show on TV that I make it a point to watch (and when it’s not on, I’m no fun to be around!).

    You are a special breed in that you not only visited this site and posted once, but many times, and you obviously keep coming back. That makes all of us out here feel special!

    Keep up the great work and good luck to you and Jennifer with the wedding!

    Thanks so much for your response.

    I have a couple of other random questions. I think that I heard somewhere that you play(ed) violin? Is that right or just some weird rumour? I’m guessing that it is a just for fun type of hobby. With everything going on do you ever get a chance to play? If so- what is your favourite piece to just play and have fun with?
    *My hobby instrument is viola and my fav. is “Teleman’s Concerto in C”*

    Also… does Chase drink? For some reason I had the impression that he didn’t. I know House made some comment- but in general I take House snarky comments with a grain of salt. And there has been invitations to go out drinking- but… maybe I’m odd but I don’t automatically assume that if someone is inviting someone to go out for drinks that they Have to both be drinking. Anwyway… long question wrapping up- what is your impression of your character regarding this?

    Apologies for the randomness of the questions, and thank you very much for your responses on here- I know that your time is pressed- but I know that myself and others really appreciate the time and effort that you take. Thanks!!
