Hugh on ITAS part two

[StuntXL]

It's funny how US audiences are surprised to see Hugh playing such silly roles, but here in the UK we're surprised to Hugh playing serious roles.

[ZarabethS179]

They're both so young and lanky!

[BigCarreyKauffmanFan]

I agree with horizon, and I must point out I love Hugh! If he`s playing bad acting, then I`m bettah then I think (: I feel much better everytime i watch hugh

[punkdudeT15]

i think its weird that most americans adore brtish accents but birtish people dont think much of us or at least thats how i think it is

[ShadowofProclimaton]

How is it weird for one group of people to look up to another, and the one being looked up to not returning it? It happens with the middle and upper classes, with older and younger brothers, etc.

[kehylin]

and that's a fact!

[salemramsey5]

hes brit. wow i thought he was american.

[finehomemadewine]

The host, this Mr. Lipton- it is rally refreshing kind of TV host, he actually is kind to his guests. He really makes the program fun. (Instead of pushing forward his sorrows and envy as most of them do nows days).

[ljhoeniges]

I agree, yknow on the surface he seems like the most boring person in the world. But what he does in hes questioning guests are both entertaining and genius. A kind of being funny, without being a jackass. I like that.

[ImeldaLumos]

I agree. I was one of those complaining of Mr. Lipton before, considered him a dull being, very unsympathetic. The more more I watched of him, though, the more I understood the rarity of his style of interviewing. His straightforward and no fawning really makes one respect the fellow. Lipton doesn't seem so full of himself, as other interviewers seem to be, nowadays.

[KimDavidsonMusic]

@finehomemadewine That's because the interview is actually a lesson for the students at the New School. So Mr. Lipton's agenda is to illustrate to THEM how a person becomes an actor--from the time they were young, to the time present--and how they do their job (as there are many ways to be a great actor--obviously!) It's one of my favorite shows.

[Club247xx]

british comedy by far the best although american is good

[JohnnyZenith]

Makes me proud to be British. When I went to New York I became so popular with the ladies, but I am modest I promise which made them like me even more. I have a similar accent to Hugh, as we are both middle class.

[TopKat17]

I think you'll find almost all of eton's students are upper-class, including Hugh

[horizon]

lmao

Gotta love British comedy.

[AnAmericanIdiot05]

lolz wtf

[myrnaturner]

I love Hugh Laurie,,,gives me the good shivers...

[LyncathDRG]

Holy hell Stephen Fry sounds exactly the same now as he used to, looked a LOT thinner back then too.

[dunedain0507]

hugh's expression is hilarious when he speaks about emma thompson. "and we became friendly"

lol

[bindiyay]

That clip of Hugh and Stephen - reminds me of Hugh as Prince Regent in Blackadder 3.4, when two actors are teaching the Prince how to recite his speech:

*ferocious and extended roar, then he glances at his speech* Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking...

lol dynamite

[thatdrattedcat]

good lord, fry is very slender in that clip they showed.

[lixechan]

and very attractive :)

x

[unijade]

But I can't believe he didn't talk about Stephen Fry! I mean, they're best friends! Fry always mentions him.

It's kind of depressing..

[monicakrantz]

He is diagnosed as clinically depressed so maybe the meds make him act that way or he's just depressed.

[FoliveiraC]

Do you think Emma Tompson landed him that role on "Sense and Sensibility"?

[dzamiradzafri]

is it where his wife was the woman from harry potter(umbridge)?

[FoliveiraC]

Yes, that's the one!

[monicakrantz]

Umbridge is Imelda Staunton

[LittleBoiFen]

He genuinely seems sad. There's this strange, tired sadness about him.

Mind you, suffering severe depression does that to one.

[FoliveiraC]

I agree, he looks tired and sad. I don't think the success of House MD brings him much happyness.

[lannerz182]

for some reason, i just feel like hes one of those people that dont outwardly show their emotions. i do feel like he is very happy, he just never shows it. he smiles rarely, so when he does smile i feel like hes really really happy haha

[ImeldaLumos]

I agree with you. He seems not to feel comfortable to be interviewed. I think he doesn´t like when everything is focused on him.

[kendrawhisp]

thats probs just old middle class english lol

[Tigerlily21]

yeah I think that has to do with his upbringing. You heard him say how hard it was to please his parents as a kid and to be happy. That's pretty sad.

[hilsongirl]

And We became "friendly" LOL

[DesertFox101]

Best line ever...

[JobleRichardson]

The man interviewing is amazing... I can't tell if he's putting it on or not, is this an act he does alot?

[Rvnscarlet]

It's not an act, that's just him. lol

[CandyShakes]

now that i see this over i can see how tired Hugh looks. He needs to get some rest.

[kheldara]

hey -- he did more or less the same thing in the Regency Blackadder episode with the plays! Very entertaining... Thanks for putting this up :)

[ahopelessdreamer]

Great but its missing a bit, have you got the rest? ive wanted to watch this for zonks!!
