Heh, and I used to watch Hugh Laurie in Jeeves and Wooster, so when I started seeing commercials for House it weirded me out to no end to hear him speaking with an American accent. It's one of the reasons I've avoided watching House (that and medical dramas are intensely uninteresting to me).

He and Stephen Fry were prominent in Rowan Atkinson's Blackadder series' as well. Laurie was also very American in the Stuart Little movies.

Those two have had varied creative careers as writers, actors and novelists that I think we'd all aspire to. Not to forget, in Laurie's case, sleeping with Emma Thompson.

It is so weird to see him go from the Prince Regent character to the House one- he's really is an amazing actor. (I have the entire BlackAdder series on DVD. )
