Fortunately, English isn't my first language so I don't really hear it, but he slips into the Aussie accent a lot while playing Matt Casey.

“I’ll never forget Hugh’s face at the read through” *Hugh does NOT look amused*

[@stevemurrell6167]

Nah, actually he looked very amused. What were you looking at?

[@bellabana]

i don't think he's rambling at all, he's just telling an amusing story about how he got the part, very entertaining. The audience and co-stars are all laughing enjoying the moment, he's funny, smart and so very hot.

[@k-leb4671]

Jesse Spencer sounds Australian half the time and rather British the other half.

[@ianlenn5408]

In the season 6 episode 4 episode, the patient commented on how Chase had a bit of British in his accent.

[@azapro911]

In much the same way that Hugh has picked up a bit of American in his accent during his time on House, Jesse probably took on just a dash of English accent when he was over here prior to House.

[@oboebuddy15]

He sounds mostly Australian to me. Some words maybe sound English-y.

[@Coco21212]

It's the same thing with Cate Blanchett: meaning that upper class Australians sound a bit british to americans

[@TheBeautifulDisaster]

Coco21212 Cate Blanchett has a heavily Americanised accent, don't forget her father was a Texan.

[@thegoldenclock]

haha house has actually taught me so much. yellow eyes - live failure. smelly breath - mouth infection. brown pee - kidney failure. eyes moving around weirdly - stroke, seizure or micro-sleep.

its so odd to see house smiling

[@dingyuanguo6516]

Hugh was actually well known for his comedy carreer back in the UK before he got House.

[@SiSicinema]

i was just making an observation which i think alot of house fans can refer to. not here for an argument

[@dingyuanguo6516]

Oh me neither! I'm sorry if I came across as rude :S I just said it as a fun fact. I didn't mean anything by that.

[@HastingsGuy]

+Ding Yuan Guo Congratulations, since using You Tube from the very beginning, I've seen many a comment section suddenly blow up into arguments, witnessed loads of crazy insults thrown, recorded plenty of mad connections and then of course, there's the ridiculous comparisons (Usually it's 'Someone = Hitler' or 'Someone's actions = Hitler's actions'). This is literally the first time I've ever seen anyone apologise for a genuine misunderstanding between posters. Usually by now, people with no connection to the original posters would be issuing comments 'Questioning someone's parentage' or advising that they were 'Like a total lesbian dick faces for even suggesting that.". I believe that this single act improves the internets moral fibre level somewhat. As there is some disparity between decent moral comments and the comments filled with bigotry, hatred and loathing, the Internet's moral level is, I understand, in quite a negative balance. Still, I applaud you - if only more tried!

[@KissFaye2nite]

"openly playing an Australian" They make it sound like Aussie is the new Gay

[@Karlettastar]

Great to see Jessie working again. Haven't seen him since Neighbours (which, admittedly I rarely watched). He's grown a lot as an actor - has much more of a presence, and confidence since I saw him last act.

[@rain73ful]

He's a beautiful man, and he's half the reason that I liked watching House.

[@sarakennedy2633]

@@evelinepwee37 he was great in both shows! i respect your opinion but he's a great actor and one of the reasons I kept watching cf when Dawson left and now he's not there anymore either, yes he came back for a little while but still! cf as a whole isn't as good as it used to be tbh none of the chicago shows are!!

[@yuuiuu11]

Thanks for this clip! I had to analyse an Australian media personality's language and since I am a House watcher, how could I not choose Chase? Great clip, I may have watched it 100 times or so to get his quotes. He uses many more discourse particles in real life than on the show :P

[@MarryXMeXBuryXMe]

I'm a freak, but I just loooooveeeee how he says "idea-r" at 2:28. :P I love how the English and Australians say that, it's so cutteeeee. I love everything about Jesse.

I'm dutch but on my school I get all of my lessons in English so I also have that accent and I really have no idea how to speak with an American accent. But however that doesn't matter I think. I would love to see his audition (on tape) because then you can really see the character back into the real person, only still a little unsure.
