Background of James Wilson on House Wikia.
http://house.wikia.com/wiki/James_Wilson
I was just reminding myself of some of Wilson's history for some writing I was doing and referred to his bio on the House Wikia page (link above.)
I noted it mentioned his early life and his parents:
Wilson was born in New Jersey to Henry and Sophie (nee Krugman) Wilson. Wilson's father is Protestant and his mother is Jewish. Due to the mixed religions the family never seriously practiced one religion or another, although Wilson is recognized as being Jewish (as Judaism recognizes the religion passing down the mother's line, not the father's). From the time Wilson was born until he was ten his father Henry was a woodshop teacher that did oddjobs for extra money, Sophie was a nurse.
Is this stuff true or has it just been invented by the writer of the page? It was never mentioned in the series (as far as I remember!) and i don't recall any official releases about Wilson's history!
Can anyone elighten me?

I fell in the love with the character of Wilson as soon as I started watching the show. I loved how he was the 'nice guy' -the 'good boy' and yet clearly he has this darker side as he has three failed marriages, a long history of infidelity and loves nothing more than to conspire and play games with House! The fact alone that he's attracted to House as a best friend shows that there is much more to him than the boy wonder persona he presents to the world. This always fascinated me and I wish they had explored it more in the show. I really fell in love with RSL when I heard him in interviews talk about Wilson's dark side. That he's the saddest man in NJ and far more messed up than House in some ways. I completely agree with him and although it may not have been Shore's original intention with the character, I just love that RSL had the insight to play Wilson that way! That depth makes Wilson fascinating and in my mind one of the greatest characters in TV history! :-)
