In House M.D., which actress plays Dr. Amber Volakis?

Anne Dudek plays Dr. Amber Volakis in House M.D.

Volakis is introduced during the process of selecting new doctors for House’s diagnostic team in season 4. Her competitive personality and willingness to challenge other candidates quickly earn her the nickname “Cutthroat Bitch,” although the show also develops her relationships and vulnerabilities beyond that label.

After her time competing for a place on House’s team, Volakis becomes closely connected to James Wilson. Her storyline eventually leads to one of the series’ major dramatic arcs, involving a serious accident and its consequences for House and Wilson.

Anne Dudek is sometimes confused with Jennifer Morrison, who played Allison Cameron, or Kal Penn, who played Lawrence Kutner. Both were also members of House’s rotating diagnostic teams, but neither portrayed Amber Volakis. Katheryn Winnick appeared in a guest role rather than playing Amber.
