I’m a little late with this one but legendary actor James Earl Jones will guest star in this season’s fourth episode of House, a Fox spokesperson confirms. Jones will play President Antipas Dibala, a dictator from an African country who becomes a patient at Princeton Plainsboro.

Awwwweeesome.
Posted last week on spoilertv.
great scoop
Great news but OLD news …
I love James Earl Jones. I don’t watch House, but I will for the chance to see him.
Old news, but still, awesome! Darth Vader, striking terror in the halls of PPTH. That would make for an interesting fanfiction…
What? No ‘Coming to America’ reference? I’m disappointed.
KAJ
Yup, old news, but still great news
I usually hate posts like this but this show has been going downhill since the new team was introduced. Same storylines with new characters doesnt make a show good or original just boring
Does anyone else hope he has to get a voicebox, or is put on a respirator for a brief time, just to have a more Darth-like sounding voice? Anybody?
Bueller?
a LITTLE late?
give us somethin’ good and juicy and NEW on House.. puhlease??
Can you say “Emmy?”
A year or two ago, James Earl Jones was in New Haven, and he played Thurgood Marshall. My goodness, he could read the phone book, and I would want to go and see it!
We cannot afford to take Hugh Laurie for granted. He has NEVER “called in” a performance on House – he doesn’t know how. Hugh is an amazing and intuitive actor. The fifth season second-to-last episode “House Divided” was particularly magnificent, and was presented to the Emmy voters as the example of his work. It is just one reason why, THIS YEAR, he fully deserves his Best Actor in a Drama Emmy, even as he has deserved it for the four previous years.
JEJ on HOUSE! YEAH! BABY! YEAH! I know that Omar Epps (aka Foreman) has twittered how great it was being able to work with James Earl Jones.
I know that Franka Potente (Miss Run Lola Run) will be in an episode of House but James Earl Jones too?! SWWEEEETTT!!! I love me some House. Hugh Laurie rocks!!
