Hugh Laurie

  • Hugh Laurie is a British actor and musician. Although he is known to American audiences as the acerbic and misanthropic genius doctor Gregory House on the FOX series House M.D., Laurie has been known in the United Kingdom for decades of playing much more benign characters. In the '80s he starred alongside Rowan Atkinson in two series of Blackadder (plus a brief appearance in series two) playing hopelessly unintelligent characters that contrasted Atkinson's selfish and greedy lead role. Laurie also starred in two series with Stephen Fry: Jeeves and Wooster and A Bit of Fry and Laurie.


    On September 8, 2008 Hugh Laurie 's estate in Los Angeles was robbed and it was reported a laptop that belonged to the TV Actor was stolen.

    No one was reported home at the time of the break in and no one was injured.

  • Laurie as House

    Aside from British TV enthusiasts and the occasional appearance in films such as Stuart Little, Laurie was generally unknown in the United States until he put on his American accent (not to mention a scowl) for House's medical mystery series. The role has landed him two Emmy nominations and two Golden Globe wins.
  • Charity

    Laurie plays keyboard and sings in Band From TV, a group of celebrity musicians who regularly perform to raise money for charity. Other band members include Laurie's House co-worker Jesse Spencer, Greg Gunberg from Heroes, and Teri Hatcher and James Denton of Desperate Housewives fame.
