In House M.D., Dr. Taub’s first name is Chris.
Chris Taub is a former plastic surgeon who joins a later version of House’s diagnostic team. Peter Jacobson plays the character, whose surgical background gives the team expertise in reconstructive and procedural questions. Taub’s professional history becomes a recurring source of tension because he left a successful partnership under difficult personal circumstances.
Taub is notable for his practical skepticism and willingness to question House’s reasoning. Like the other fellows, he must balance loyalty to House with the need to protect patients and make defensible medical decisions. His personal life is also a major part of his story, especially the consequences of his relationships and decisions.
The answer is Chris, not Peter, which is the actor’s first name. The surname Taub is also distinct from Chase, Cameron, Foreman, and Kutner, who belong to different stages of House’s diagnostic teams.
