'House's' new all singing, all dancing roommate

 "House" has a new roommate with a musical past.

Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda has the honor of being cast as Dr. House's roomie in the psychiatric hospital where he landed in last season's finale, reports EW's Ausiello.

Miranda, 29, is best known for writing and starring in Broadway's "In the Heights." He'll appear in at least two episodes in the upcoming sixth season. There's no word yet whether or not he'll bring his hoofing and singing skills into play for the role.

Besides appearing on the stage, Miranda also made appearances on the new "Electric Company."

Miranda is just the first of the new, "interesting" faces that will be brought in to fill House's psych facility experiences with a little color. We can't wait for more. We weren't certain what to expect with the new wave of doctors, but they've turned out to be great additions.
