Here is an interview with Robert Sean Leonard that I found in a RSL forum from Playbill, in which he talks about theatre, films, 'House' and his upcoming marriage to Gabriella Salick!
This month we talk to Robert Sean Leonard who plays Dr. James Wilson on the popular FOX medical drama "House" (Mondays, 9 PM ET) is the latest turn for Robert Sean Leonard, whose TV fans may well be unaware of his theatre background, which began when he was a pre-teen.
Included among his credits is the role of Jack (of beanstalk fame): "When I was 16, I was cast by [Stephen] Sondheim for a six-week workshop of Into the Woods. One day, Sondheim came in, with [the just-written] 'Giants in the Sky.' He pointed to me, and said, 'This is for Bobby.' I pretty much could have died."
Offered the lead in a teen movie, '"My Best Friend Is a Vampire," Leonard called James Lapine, who had written the musical's book, and was directing, to ask what he should do. "In the most supportive, incredibly helpful way, he said, 'Robert, you're a talented guy, but your future's not in musical theatre.'"
