David Morse, who portrayed Tritter

Michael Tritter is a fictional character in the medical drama series House, played by David Morse (pictured). The main antagonist of the third season (2006–07), Tritter is a police detective who tries to get Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) to apologize for leaving him with a thermometer in his rectum. After House refuses, Tritter discovers his Vicodin addiction, and forces him to go to rehab. The character was created as somebody who could go "toe-to-toe" with House. Morse, who had never seen the show before, was unsure if he could portray the character. The excited reaction of his friends convinced him to take the role. Initial critical responses were mostly positive, but critics later felt that the six-episode Tritter story arc became boring. Morse, though, was praised for his portrayal and received an Emmy nomination. He stated in a 2006 TV Guide interview that, although he had discussed it with the show's writers, reprising the character would be "practically impossible". (Full article...)
