He definitely could have done the commercials for "most interesting man in the world"....
It is incredible how much of his life is built into New Vegas.... Everything from H&H Tools, the plane in lake Mead, ruling Vegas, being locked up in penthouses, protecting Vegas from nukes.... It all matches this man in some way. Even his death reminds me of House how he was practically unrecognizable.... I think of House in the tube.
Reading about this man gives me so much more respect for House. A man that survived two plane crashes and came up with the idea for the modern hospital bed while recovering in the burn ward.... Crazy. This guy was truly fascinating.
