OccupationPolice detective

Detective Michael Tritter is a recurring character in the medical drama series House, M.D., portrayed by David Morse. He is the main antagonist of the third season, which ran between 2006 and 2007. Tritter is a police detective, who tries to get Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) to apologize for leaving him in an examination room with a thermometer in his rectum. After House refuses to do so, Tritter researches House's background and discovers the doctor's Vicodin addiction. Tritter turns people close to House against him and forces House to go to rehab. When the case ultimately comes to court, the judge sentences House with one night in jail and finishing his rehabilitation, telling Tritter that she thinks House is not the drug addict he tried to make him.

The character was created as somebody who could go "toe-to-toe" with House. Morse, who had never seen House before, was unsure if he should portray the character and was still not impressed after familiarizing himself with the show. The frantic reaction of his friends to the acting opportunity finally convinced him otherwise. Initial critical responses to the character were mostly positive, but critics later felt that the six-episode Tritter story arc was becoming "boring". Nevertheless, Morse was praised for his portrayal, and gained an Emmy Award nomination, in the category "Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series" for his appearance in the episode "Finding Judas". Morse stated in a 2006 TV Guide interview that, although discussions had been made, bringing the character back on the show is "practically impossible".

Storyline

Tritter first appears as a patient of the walk-in clinic in "Fools for Love". He suffers from a severe irritation in the area of his groin and believes a sexually transmitted disease to be the cause. House, who is on clinic duty at the time, quickly and charmlessly diagnoses Tritter with dry skin, a common side effect of the nicotine gum that Tritter is chewing. House declines Tritter's request to take a sample for testing, on the grounds that he has already met this month's quota for indulging "stubborn idiots". When House attempts to leave the room, Tritter kicks House's cane so that House trips. House feigns acquiescence and takes the sample, but insists he has to take his temperature rectally. After inserting the thermometer, House leaves the room with no intention of returning. Tritter complains about his treatment to House's boss, Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), but House refuses to apologize even after Tritter says that he would rather "beat the crap out of" House than sue him. When House is pulled over for a traffic violation later that night, Tritter reveals he is a police detective. In a patdown search, Tritter finds some unprescripted Vicodin pills in House's pocket and arrests House.

While House is bailed out by his friend James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) in "Que Sera Sera", Tritter gets a search warrant for House's apartment and finds over six hundred Vicodin pills and two prescriptions signed with Wilson's name in different handwriting. When confronted, Wilson claims that he sometimes writes his name differently, keeping up the pretense even after Tritter threatens with police action. At the end of the episode "Son of Coma Guy", Wilson finds his bank account frozen because Tritter did not believe him. Tritter tries to convince the members of House's diagnostic team to testify against House, but they all refuse. As revealed in "Whac-A-Mole", Tritter also has Wilson's car towed and removed his prescription-writing powers, forcing Wilson to shut down his practice. In "Finding Judas", Cuddy accuses Tritter of not having a life and "personalizing every slight" as he spends his week off looking through the hospital files for evidence. Tritter responds that "Nobody here is innocent" as everyone allows House to treat patients despite their knowing of his Vicodin addiction, and Tritter claims that it takes a police detective to uncover what the doctors are deliberately hiding. At the end of the episode, Wilson visits Tritter and indicates his willingness to testify.

In "Merry Little Christmas", Tritter and Wilson work out a deal for House so that he can keep practicing medicine if he pleads guilty and spends two months in rehab. When House refuses to take the deal, Wilson convinces Cuddy to stop prescribing House's Vicodin to force House to settle. But when Wilson notices the effects of the detox process on House and expresses his unwillingness to continue testifying, Tritter retorts that he will use Wilson's previous statements and charge him with interfering with a police investigation. Meanwhile, House uses a dead patient's name to obtain oxycodone pills as a vicodine replacement drug, but when House visits Tritter early the next morning to agree to the deal, Tritter has the pharmacy's log and says the deal is off.

In the final days leading up to House's court case, House realizes the severity of the situation and finally apologizes to Tritter. When Tritter refuses to accept the apology, House goes into rehab, putting on a show for Tritter and the judge, but Tritter cites his past experiences with trust addicts and is unwilling to drop the charges. During court proceedings, Cuddy commits perjury by saying she swapped the oxycodone pills with placebos before House signed for them in the pharmacy. The judge excuses Cuddy and tells House that he has better friends than he thinks he has; the judge then tells Tritter that she thinks House is not the drug addict he tried to make him and orders Tritter to move on. She rules House to spend the night in jail and to continue rehab afterwards. Just before the bailiff escorts House out, Tritter tells him, "Good luck. I hope I'm wrong about you".

Personality

"Tritter himself is essentially House without the sense of humor, but that doesn't make him any less right in his assessment of House as bully".

Alan Sepinwall, The Star-Ledger.

Being the main antagonist of the third season, Tritter is a "stubborn" and "vengeful" police detective. Tritter becomes morbidly "obsessed" with House, and wants to get him clean, due to past experiences with drug addicts. The character's portrayer, David Morse, explained that Tritter is the kind of person who "gets who House is on all levels and can really shake his foundation". Morse stated that, what House did to Tritter in "Fools for Love", leaving a thermometer up his rectum for several hours, was so offensive to him that it is not hard for him to stand up to House. Morse later decsribed Tritter as "House's equal". Executive producer Katie Jacobs, described the story arc as "a battle of ego's" between Tritter and House.

Robert Bianco, of USA Today described Tritter's personality as "legitimately, if belligerently, aggrieved adversary", but saying that after the first four episodes of the Tritter Arc, the character "morphed" into "some kind of insane supercop, tearing his way through the hospital and the Constitution at will". IGN's Staci Krause stated that the character has a more "manipulative" personality, as in "Finding Judas" he formed a plan to "break" each member of House's team separately. Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune stated that Tritter is a "dogged cop".

Creation and Casting

The character was created as someone to go "toe-to-toe" with House. Tritter was described, not as a "bad guy", but someone "as focused and as smart as House, so it's a real force he comes up against" For the portrayal of the character, the producers of House wanted someone, as executive producer Katie Jacobs describes, "with the strength and presence to really stand up to House". In 2006, House creator David Shore, contacted actor David Morse, with whom he had previously worked on Hack, for a guest starring episode arc on the show. At first, Morse did not know how to reply, since he did not know the show. Morse stated that, after watching a few episodes, he thought "This House guy is a total jerk. Why do people watch this show?" During his vacation, Morse told a few friends he had known for a very long time, about the job offer, his friends reacted very enthusiastically, and convinced Morse to call Shore and agree to appear. Morse stated that he had very minor responsibilities on the show other than "giving House a hard time". Jacobs, executive producer of House was impressed by Morse's performance. According to Ellen Gray, of the Philadelphia Daily News, Morse's earlier portrayals of "scary" cops (in 16 Blocks and Hack) also helped in the casting process. In a 2006 TV Guide interview, Morse said that although they had talked about it, it is "practically impossible" to get the character to return in any later seasons.

Reception

"...However, after about the fourth episode and the many troubles he was causing the people in House's life, we were bored. This story seemed to drag on forever and, in the meantime, there weren't that many great medical cases to fill in the gap".

Staci Krause, IGN.

Initial responses to the character were mostly positive, Barbara Barnett from Blog Critics Magazine, compared Tritter to Inspector Javert of Les Misérables, which was agreed with by Charles McGrath of The New York Times. Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune declared Tritter the "Best male villain of the fall of 2006". Lisa Edelstein, who portrays Lisa Cuddy on House, said that David Morse was one of her favorite House guest-stars, saying that he did "a really great job". Alynda Wheat from Entertainment Weekly stated that Tritter annoyed Dr. House the most, ranking above other House characters Amber Volakis (Anne Dudek), Stacey Warner (Sela Ward) and Lucas Douglas (Michael Weston).

However, when the character's arc continued, critics became bored. Staci Krause of IGN said that she found the first few episodes of Season 3, with House recovering from being shot more interesting. In a review of "Que Sera Sera" Michelle Kung, from Entertainment Weekly commented "I agree, David Morse is a fine actor, but his cop is so ridiculously one-note and revenge-bent that his scenes are often just excruciating to sit through". In a review of "Fools for Love", Sara Morrison, of Television Without Pity, doubted that Tritter getting revenge on House was worth all his time and aggravation, calling the "Tritter Arc" an "insane quest for ass thermometer justice", and giving Tritter the nickname "Detective Shitter". Alan Sepinwall, from The Star-Ledger stated that "pitting House against a comedy-impaired cop was both dull and not a fair fight". Daniel Fienberg of Zap2it, feared that what happened to Chi McBride (Edward Vogler) in the first season (the audience being glad of the character's departure), would happen to Tritter. "Because", as Fienberg explained, "Dr. House is a force of nature, while anybody sent to oppose him is just a nuisance, particularly any actor signed to a six or eight episode guest-starring arc". USA Today critic Robert Bianco, agreed with this, by calling Tritter's departure "a Christmas gift for fans". Kristin Dos Santos of E!, reported that most fans were, indeed, pleased with the character's departure. After appearing on the show, Morse jokingly stated that he gained various bad comments from fans who said that they hated his character for what he had done to Dr. House.

Morse, however, gained mainly positive responses to his portrayal of Tritter, The Star-Ledger's Alan Sepinwall called Morse a "superb actor". Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune, stated that Morse's "understated performance" made Triter all the more scarier. Zap2it's Daniel Fienberg said that Morse is "one of our very best character actors". Morse submitted the episode "Finding Judas", for consideration on his behalf in the category of "Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series" for the 2007 Emmy Awards. Morse went on to be nominated, but eventually lost to John Goodman for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. In a comment to Morse's Emmy award nomination, Cynthia Littleton of Variety, said that she was glad Morse got nominated because she already thought Morse deserved an Emmy for his work on St. Elsewhere.
