He then got into the House character (which he thought was a sidekick character and that Wilson was the lead character since he was the "young-dashing" Doctor). He never expected to be auditioning for a lead role. He mailed the videotape to the U.S. where Bryan Singer leapt to his TV screen seeing the audition tape thinking that House was an American.

Where did you get this info? I'd like to read it. I would think that a guy reading a script for a show called House, MD...and reading for the part of Dr. Greg House....would be pretty sure that he was reading for the lead role. That's just me though, I may be an idiot...after all, I was born just miles below that magic 49th parallel!
