Extra – Band from TV in Chicago

TVGuide Photobooth: Jesse Spencer

Fancast – Interview with Jesse Spencer (During TCA 2010)

Jesse Spencer is still calling House home.

News that Spencer has been cast in the Spike Lee-produced indie The Girl Is In Trouble has fans worried that Chase may be checking out of Princeton Plainsboro. Executive producer Katie Jacobs is here to set the record straight.

“We have not written him out at all,” Jacobs tells mae. “We have done everything we can do to [adjust] our schedule to allow him to do this. He’s by no means out of the season or even out of any episodes.”

The New York-set Trouble stars Studio 60‘s Columbus Short as a bartender caught up in a mystery involving a desperate young woman, a missing drug dealer, and the son of New York’s most powerful stockbroker.

Spencer’s House costar Olivia Wilde is also currently off shooting a film, next summer’s sci-fi western Cowboys & Aliens, and—as previously reported—she will be MIA this fall. The exact length of her leave of absence, however, remains a mystery. “I can’t [tell you],” says Jacobs, “because it’s linked to a [story] that’s not even on the table just yet.”

Let there be no doubt: Chase has moved on from Cameron. That’s the word from Jesse Spencer, who revealed at Fox’s press tour bash last night that when House returns this fall, his newly divorced doc will juggling more than one new flame. Spencer also weighed in on Amber Tamblyn’s arrival and shared his thoughts on Huddy (hint: he’s a fan… sorta).
