Breckin Meyer just broke the news to E! that he will guest star on episode three of House this season. Click in to find out what he's up to on House, plus an awesome detail about his Heroes character.

Later this season on House, Meyer will play a Princeton-Plainsboro patient whose disease causes him to get wildly aggressive. (Think Incredible Hulk).

According to a publicist for the studio that produces House, "Breckin guest stars on the show in the coming season as a struggling artist—a painter whose undiagnosed illness distorts his work and his perception, and threatens to undermine his career, his relationship, everything in his life. Of course, this leads House and his team to uncover a much deeper, darker secret beneath Breckin's canvases."

Meyer says, "They can't figure out what's wrong with me. A lot of things go wrong. I blow up like a balloon at one point. I get violent [with] a lady—I get inappropriate."

No matter what happens, I'm sure if there's a girl in a fight at the hospital, House will pull up a chair, whip out some popcorn and sit back to enjoy the show!

P.S. Promised Heroes detail: Meyer's comic-book geek character on Heroes will be named Frack. Yes, like the Battlestar Galactica swear word.

P.P.S. With whom will Breckin's character throw down? Post your guess in the comments!
