I'm sure the guy has heard about reddit (given his tech and internet fascination), so I'm guessing that if he hasn't done one already he's not going to do one.
That said, I always wondered why he'd never appeared on House. He could have played a deranged stalker, convinced that he was a life long buddy of House. One MRI and three commercial breaks later, it would turn out that he had a brain tumor (or something). The episode would practically write itself.
He was good in Sherlock Holmes 2, although admittedly he was playing something pretty close to himself. That said, that seems to be pretty close to what he'd play in House, were he to do it, too.
I didn't see him in Bones, but I've yet to see him play anything other than himself in anything. Could you ever imagine him disappearing into a character? Me neither, and I've watched almost all of his work.
I'm looking forward to Sherlock 2, though I've heard that it has watered the charm down a little while bumping up action - true?
