Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:E_HughLaurie_325.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\|"''I would cling to unhappiness because it was a known, familiar state. When I was happier, it was because I knew I was on my way back to misery. I've never been convinced that happiness is the object of the game. I'm wary of happiness.''"~~\|'''Hugh Laurie'''}}~~ \|'''Hugh Laurie'''}} {{quote\|"''I've always thought of Hugh as a panda, probably because he's not naturally aggressive. Either a panda or an Opel Kadett.''"~~\|'''[[Stephen Fry]]'''}}~~ \|'''[[Stephen Fry]]'''}} James Hugh Calum Laurie (1959- ), OBE is an English actor, comedian, writer and musician. He first reached fame as a cast member of ''[[~~Black Adder~~Blackadder]]'' and then as one half of [[Stephen Fry\|Fry and Laurie]] in ''[[A Bit of Fry and Laurie]]''. He also played Bertie Wooster in ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (TV series)\|Jeeves and Wooster]]''. Since 2004, he has starred as Dr. Gregory House in [[House (TV series)\|the show of the same name]]. He's also an accomplished author, his book ''[[The Gun Seller]]'' being praised by critics. This leads to a strange dichotomy in his perception. To British audiences he is the comedic master of [[The Pratfall]], the over done and over silly counterbalance to the more reserved [[Stephen Fry]] or [[Rowan Atkinson]]... but, to Americans, he is best known as the stern and cynical Dr. House. In fact--perhaps due to his uncannily [[Fake American\|flawless American accent]]--some Americans are surprised to learn that he's British. Including the casting director that hired him for the role. He is also an accomplished musician. To some, he is a mixture of both, a man of legend perceived to be able to switch from [[Jerkass\|cold and merciless]] to [[The Ace\|the most lovable man on earth]] in a single sentence. Line 14 ⟶ 18: But wherever in the Anglosphere or indeed the world we are, he's still Hugh Laurie. And according to anybody who has ever played a computer game, he looks [[Comic Book Fantasy Casting\|oddly similiar]] in this picture (seen here on the right) to a certain Gordon Freeman. {{reflist}} [[Category:Actors]] [[Category:Hugh Laurie]] [[Category:Names to Know in Comedy]]
