linkLisa Edelstein of “House” will be giving thanks if the entertainment industry’s striking writers can settle their differences with producers so her show and others can resume production.
“When we got the news that they were going back to the table [on Monday], I felt like about 1,000 pounds had been lifted from my shoulders,” she said when we chatted earlier this week. “It’s been a very sad month. I hope we come to a quick and reasonable resolution.”
Lisa was particularly excited about episodes 13 and 14 which were supposed to air after the Super Bowl. But production on “House” was halted after episode 12 was completed.The 41-year-old actress first gained notice while still a teenager when she was known as “Lisa E” around the NYC club scene and dubbed a “celebutante” by Newsweek magazine.
But that was a long time ago, well before she became known to viewers in recurring roles on “The West Wing” a high-priced call girl, on “Ally McBeal” as a male-to-female transsexual, and on “Felicity” as the girlfriend of Scott Speedman’s character.
But the real high point has been playing Dr. Lisa Cuddy on the edgy medical drama.
“It’s really fun to play a character for this long and layers of the onion get peeled away and you get to really explore somebody,” she said. “With such smart writing, that makes it even more successful an experience.”
And then there is her leading man, Hugh Laurie.
“I love working with him,” she said. “He’s so talented and a hard worker. If you’re lazy at all, it really shows. You have to step it up with somebody like that. It’s great.”
