I’ve just started watching House from the beginning after seeing short extracts on you tube.
Enjoyed The Night Manager immensely (first series maybe more so than the second).
Growing up watching him in Blackadder and working with Stephen Fry he was very funny, but always in the supporting role to a degree.
His later work must rank him as one of the best actors in the UK, if not the world?

Hiddleston was good but Laurie didn’t seem to be acting a psychopath, he WAS a psychopath?
He could probably retire 10 times over following House but in everything he does he seems to completely reinvent himself, total antithesis to all the CGI / Marvel content that passes for entertainment nowadays….
If he had a fan club, I’d join it, just saying….

The Flight of the Phoenix remake was on the other day, and I had a 'that looks like Hugh Laurie' moment. I ended up checking the cast list to be sure it was actually him.If he had a fan club, I d join it, just saying.

If you like Hugh's work, I would definitely recommend Jeeves & Wooster.
It's older than House, but magnificent in conjunction with Stephen Fry.
Hugh Laurie was good in that but Stephen Fry was terrible .It's older than House, but magnificent in conjunction with Stephen Fry.
For a start he was too close in age to Wooster. Although Jeeves’ age is never mentioned in the books his character and worldliness suggests he is more the slightly despairing uncle than Fry’s sneering cousin.
Try the BBC recordings with Richard Briers to appreciate how it should have been done.

Agreed, I was thinking how bloody good he was during that restaurant scene, a brilliant actor with his eyes, just ferocious. I was thinking how on earth this could possibly be George from Blackadder. Enjoyed The Night Manager immensely (first series maybe more so than the second).

Bet you read the books first...I was the other way and yes the books create a different mental image of Jeeves.
He's a fantastic actor, an accomplished musician, is fluent in French and German and speaks very good Spanish, was a good rower in his day (rowed for Cambridge in the boat race and I think his dad won Olympic gold), and his one book is good.
Just a very talented guy.
He's also a keen biker. Rode a Repsol Replica Fireblade in House, and owns a Triumph Bonneville and other bikes.
