Michael Tritter is a fictional character in themedical drama seriesHouse, played byDavid Morse(pictured). The mainantagonist of the third season (2006–07), Tritter is apolice detective who tries to get Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) to apologize for leaving him with athermometer in his rectum. After House refuses, Tritter discovers hisVicodin addiction, and forces him to go torehab. The character was created as somebody who could go "toe-to-toe" with House. Morse, who had never seen the show before, was unsure if he could portray the character. The excited reaction of his friends convinced him to take the role. Initial critical responses were mostly positive, but critics later felt that the six-episode Tritterstory arc became boring. Morse, though, was praised for his portrayal and received anEmmy nomination. He stated in a 2006TV Guide interview that, although he had discussed it with the show's writers, reprising the character would be "practically impossible". (Full article...)
