Hugh Laurie

I will be researching Hugh Laurie for my final paper. Though his recent fame can be credited to his role as Dr. Gregory House on the hit American television series House, his fame dates back much further. Gaining his roots with Cambridge University’s comedy troop Footlights, who has produced comedy superstars such as Peter Cook, John Cleese, and Stephen Fry, he went on to star as The Prince Regent on the British television series Black Adder, to showcase his talents with Stephen Fry in A Bit of Fry and Laurie, and Jeeves and Wooster. Laurie is widely known both in England and across the pond to a wide span of generations, which is why I have chosen him. His talent is undeniable in House, but there is so much more talent to be enjoyed beforehand! The picture attached to this post, I find, is all the explanation I need to research this phenomenal actor.

  1. I will be interested to see where you take this. He someone who is a comedian, although more part of a team than the leader. Fry seems to be the leader. Blackadder was a script and he has done some interesting other acting roles other than House.
