Amber Tamblyn Joins Princeton Plainsboro Team on House
Emmy- and Golden Globe-Nominated Actress to Appear in Multi-Episode Arc
Season Seven of House Premieres Monday, September 20, on FOX
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 – Amber Tamblyn has signed
on to appear in the upcoming season of House for a
multi-episode story arc. She will play a brilliant and
aggressive medical student whom DR. House (Hugh Laurie)
hires as a new team member although she is technically not yet
qualified to practice medicine. Tamblyn’s character will be
confronted with the morally and ethically questionable way that
House practices medicine.
The seventh season premiere of House airs Monday, Sept.
20 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
With an impressive resume for a young actress, Amber Tamblyn’s
breakout role was the title character in the critically
acclaimed television series “Joan of Arcadia.” Her work on the
show earned her both Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominations,
and for her work opposite Tilda Swinton in the film “Stephanie
Daley,” Tamblyn was honored with a Film Independent Spirit Award
nomination in 2007. She will next be seen in Danny Boyle’s “127
Hours” opposite James Franco and in John Doyle’s “Main Street”
with Orlando Bloom and Colin Firth. Most recently seen in
“Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” opposite Michael Douglas, Tamblyn’s
other film credits include “The Sisterhood of the Traveling
Pants” and “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2” alongside
Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera and Blake Lively. Additional
television credits include “The Unusuals,” “Boston Public” and
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” An acclaimed writer, Tamblyn has
published two poetry books and is a co-founder of WRITE NOW
Poetry Society, a non-profit organization that raises funds for
poetry programming. She also collaborated on “The Drums Inside
Your Chest,” a performance-poetry concert film.
House is an innovative take on the medical drama in
which the villain is a medical malady and the hero is an
irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all
his patients. The series also stars Lisa Edelstein, Robert Sean
Leonard, Omar Epps, Jesse Spencer, Olivia Wilde and Peter
Jacobson.
The series has ranked as one of the Top 3 dramas among Adults
18-49 for the past four consecutive seasons. Last season,
House dominated its Monday 8:00-9:00 PM time period across
all key demos and tied as the No. 1 drama among Teens.
Emmy Award-winning House is from Heel and Toe Films,
Shore Z Productions and Bad Hat Harry Productions in association
with Universal Media Studios. Katie Jacobs, David Shore, Paul
Attanasio, Bryan Singer, Russel Friend, Garrett Lerner, Thomas
L. Moran, Greg Yaitanes and Hugh Laurie are executive producers.
