Which actor plays Dr. Robert Chase in House M.D.?

Jesse Spencer plays Dr. Robert Chase in House M.D.

Chase is one of the original members of House’s diagnostic team at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. He is an Australian intensivist and intensivist-trained physician who initially works under House while developing his own medical judgment and professional identity.

Jesse Spencer is an Australian actor who joined the main cast at the beginning of the series. His performance follows Chase from a comparatively junior team member into a more experienced physician who eventually takes on greater responsibility within the hospital.

Spencer is sometimes confused with other House M.D. cast members because the program’s original team included several prominent actors. Omar Epps played Eric Foreman, Jennifer Morrison played Allison Cameron, and Hugh Laurie played Gregory House. Spencer’s role as Chase is distinct from those characters and remained important through the show’s later seasons.
