I, like many others, was totally floored by your death last night on House. It was a surreal experience, to watch the characters struggle to find the meaning behind what will seemingly remain a mystery. I knew someone would commit suicide on House this season, but I was really caught off guard when it happened this week, and more devastatingly, when it was your Kutner who pulled the trigger.

This morning I realized you were leaving the show to work in Washington DC with the Obama administration. I'm torn about this change of pace for you, though. You're leaving a top-rated show on network TV, one of the few that has held somewhat steady despite the writer's strike. I hope that you're new career path works out for you, since the inclination is a noble one. I'd just hate to see you regret not sticking with this good thing when you had it.
Then again, you've got tons of money in the bank, a recognizable face, a cult hit movie to bring the residuals for years to come, and a passion to serve. What better time to take a chance than during one of the most energizing political moments in history, coupled with the growing number of people needing help and representation? Good for you, and we wish you the best.
Just do me a favor, and don't decide less than a year from now that you don't like politics that much anyways, and join the pilot for some new show. It'd really impair my mourning process.
Simultaneously depressed and inspired,
Patrick James
