Jonathan "John" House was Gregory House's father. He was portrayed by the late R. Lee Ermey in "Daddy's Boy." He died in "Birthmarks." John was a pilot in the United States Marine Corps. He was on active duty while House was growing up and, as a result, the family moved around a lot. It is implied that Gregory was very close to his mother as a result, but had few other friends and limited contact with his father. John had what his son described as an "insane moral compass" – he always said what was on his mind and never lied to anyone. He is the antithesis of Gregory's credo "everybody lies." It is implied that this meant that John rarely bent the truth in order to comfort his son, and usually found fault with what Gregory did despite his usually excellent academic accomplishments. It is clear Gregory feared his father's punishments, that those punishments were doled out for even minor offenses, and that they were far better suited to Marine recruits rather than a talented young boy.
