Hollywood (myFOXla.com) - Kicking off season six of " House" was reason to celebrate at Arclight's Cinerama Dome Theater in Hollywood last Thursday.
The two hour season premiere was shown on the big screen to a packed theater of fans who won their tickets by being among the first to write in on Facebook.
They saw the premiere days before everyone else. They also saw the cast as they presented a check for $500,000 to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. The team at "House" has been raising money for NAMI by selling special tee shirts.
As for the star of the show, British actor Hugh Laurie, he was gracious as he walked down a red carpet before the premiere answering questions of TV, radio and web reporters.
What's Hugh Laurie like? If you ask Robert Sean Leonard -- the actor who plays Dr. James Wilson (House's best friend on the show) -- he'll tell you Laurie can be a lot like Dr. Gregory House.
When you talk with Hugh Laurie, you can tell he cares a lot about his job!
Here's an early look at some of Hal Eisner's raw interviews with Hugh Laurie and other members of the "House" cast, as well as the show's creators.
