why does he look like a church pastor
"Hilson is canon" I say into the mic. the crowd cheers. I begin to walk off the stage with pride. a voice breaks through. "he’s wrong." I turn around and there he is. Robert Sean Leonard himself
yk, when i first started watching house, i wasn’t expecting to fall in love with this pathetic man. i have now watched three movies just because he’s in them.
robert sean leonard is the most slept on 90s heartthrob scream if u agree
there's two kinds of hilson "coming out" fanfic
1. everyone thinks house and wilson are an item, except, usually, house and wilson
2. no one thinks they are. they keep trying to tell people but everyone thinks they're just joking because house is such an ass
house interview clips that explain a lot about the insanity of their performances on the show
thirteen don't fix him please
my favorite genre of post is ones about men having big brown eyes
gotta be one of the best twink death dilf births that I've ever seen
best art work: part 2
i think this is my best work yet
-Held hostage at gunpoint
-Caught in a house fire
-Punched multiple times
-Motorcycle crash
-Roomed with LMM twice
You ever think about how House has been put through the wringer, physically/medically speaking?
Like he has:
- Had an infarction
- Had a heart attack
- Had surgery on his leg against his will
- Became disabled
- Developed an addiction to Vicodin
- Been shot in the neck and abdomen
- Temporarily recovered from disability
- OD’d on stolen painkillers
- Had a transfusion reaction (its also worth mentioning that when this happens he says he’s had three blood transfusions in the last 10 years, which implies that he’s had the transfusion he’s reacting from, one when he was shot, and also needed one during his infarction)
- Stuck a knife in an electrical outlet
- Put himself into insulin shock
- Tried methadone to manage pain (successfully) but it made him stop breathing
- Started hallucinating from Vicodin
- Went to rehab
- Relapsed
Like that probably isn’t even everything but like damn.
also, in an episode of law & order:special victims unit, he plays an assistant district attorney named Kenneth O’Dwyer who is involved in a case where a young transgender woman is bullied and dies due to injuries.
I wanted to share this before the pride month ends! They’re not written by me, this is the original post

The Shadow Box by Michael Cristofer. Benefit reading, 1994.
RSL played Mark, the young lover and caretaker of Brian (Christopher Reeve), a gay man dying from an unnamed disease assumed to be cancer. The performance of this 1977 Pulitzer Prize winning play was held to benefit a high school drama teacher in Tuscon, Arizona, who was fired for attempting to stage it due to its homosexual themes.
Into the Woods by James Lavine and Stephen Sondheim. Broadway workshop, 1987.

Breaking the Code by Hugh Whitemore. Broadway, 1987-1988.
A biographical play based on the life of Alan Turing (played by Sir Derek Jacobi), so-called father of the computer - a brilliant young man who, during WWII, helped to break the German submarine Enigma code. The play deals with his personality, his love of mathematics and also his homosexuality, for which he spent some time in prison. RSL played Christopher Morcom, a schoolmate who was Turing’s first love and whose death, at the age of 17, was to leave a permanent mark on Turing’s character. Description from this site. Read the thoughts of Andrew Hodges, on whose book the play was based.
Coming of Age in Soho by Albert Innaurato. The Public Theater, circa 1985.
The play concerns a writer named Bartholomew “Beatrice” Dante, who has fled to Soho to escape his wife of fourteen years and to come to terms with his art and his homosexuality. RSL understudied the role of Puer, an “astonishingly precocious teenager” who informs Beatrice that he is his son by a German terrorist with whom Beatrice had a brief but intense fling.

A 2001 cable movie which originally aired on FX, based on a 1989 incident that occurred aboard the USS Iowa when an explosion killed 47 sailors.

Other
Auditioned for a role in “To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar”
“Douglas Carter Beane wrote the screenplay for “To Wong Foo,” and recalled all the actors’ auditions for the film. “John Cusack looked just like his sister Joan. Robert Sean Leonard was stunningly beautiful, Audrey Hepburn. James Spader—also beautiful. Willem Dafoe looked the way Mary Tyler Moore does now—the Joker’s sister, with that mouth. John Turturro—not pretty.”“

2am doodles: part 2
desperately need everyone to see this masterpiece i drew at like 2am last week
“The Dead Poets were dedicated to sucking the marrow out of life. That’s a phrase from Thoreau that we’d invoke at the beginning of each meeting. You see, we’d gather at the old Indian cave and take turns reading from Thoreau, Whitman, Shelley — the biggies. Even some of our own verse. And in the enchantment of the moment, we’d let poetry work its magic.”
