Hugh Laurie - smug, should we throw him down the well

[RMDB9]

should we?

House was a great show.

[RMDB9]

Still!!

[CharlesdeGaulle]

I liked him in Blackadder and The Night Watchman. Versatile actor. No to the well from me.

[RMDB9]

Remember the smug mug!!

but ok, maybe not the well then.

[Barchettaman]

He played a lot of smug characters, but as an actor, one should remember that the actor and character are not necessarily the same person.

[coppernorks]

why you ask ?

[dartissimus]

No, I disagree, possibly a bit too good to be true.

Rowed for his college
Fine actor
Author
Excellent musician


Probably also "he was a fencer of repute, a golfer, a crack pistol-shot, and a jiu-jitsu expert"

Might help if you set out why you think he is smug and deserving of the well.

I like him but I take exception to the musician comment. His singing was buttock clenchingly awful.

Only if you handcuff him to Steven Fry.

[CubanPete]

He got a blue for competing in the boat race.

Seems to have worked pretty hard for most stuff. I like him.

Is this a "Throw the Jew down the well... Hate crime thingy???"

According to Wiki it would be a “throw the atheist Presbyterian down the well” thingy.

Perhaps he was against Brexit? Or voiced some other view the OP disagrees with?

Or the OP was inappropriately treated by the cast of Cats at his local production and developed a hatred of all actors.

I'd be pretty smug if I was as talented as him..

Indeed. Bizarre thread as he seems pretty inoffensive and talented.

God damn you Mr.Mistoffelees

[underwhelmist]

He's a national treasure for the Flushed Grollings sketch alone... linky

[Ayahuasca]

No, he seems to be a good chap.

Throw down Griff Rees-Jones instead, and Stephen Fry.

[anonymous-user]

Well, at least there appears to be consensus regards Fry. I shall prepare the well.
