Stop Boring Hugh Laurie

I can't stand it anymore. Why do they always have to ask the same questions? Hugh Laurie is one of the most interesting and complex actors and not just the guy who plays House. He can not only do a perfect American accent and rides a motorbike. He is damn clever and witty as hell. He is the author of The Gun Seller, directed films, has a dog ... You know, there is so much more about him than is accent!

"Perhaps the most surprising thing about me is that there is absolutely nothing surprising about me. At all." Hugh Laurie

Oh, I think there are a number of surprising things about Hugh Laurie. We just have to ask the right questions!

PS: I really adore Jay Leno and especially Craig. I just wanted to make a point. ;)

Honestly, I just reeeeally want someone to bring up Blackadder ):

[MizukiHawkeye]

Seriously people... House is good, but Hugh Laurie is SO much more than that... What about his Blackadder days?!

@savvysearch Take Lucy Punch for example. She performed so well in "Bad Teacher" I was shocked to find out she is British and when I heard her speak with British accent at a press conference.

[savvysearch]

A lot of actors can do great american accents. It's not like Laurie's is the greatest anyone's ever done. The focus is just bizarre.

Talk show host: So, you are British aren't you?

Hugh: Yes, I am

Next Interview

Talk show host: So, you are British aren't you?

Hugh: Yes, I am

If I was an actor, I would NOT go on talk shows in the US for this reason. II think I should end up telling the presenter to change the record, or just fuck off. I mean I think most people know he is from England, and if they don't, I don't know where they have been living for the last 5 years.

[BeautiJunkee]

He is a very famous actor in England. It's so bothersome thats all anyone EVER wants to talk about is his American accent in House.

@KarioDudeRBN

Isn't Fortysomething great? One of the overlooked shows Hugh is in. And A Bit is fantastic! Wish I could watch em for the first time again!

[KarioDudeRBN]

@Orlabobz that's what I've been doing lately. Watched all 6 episodes of Fortysomething and I'm starting on A Bit of Fry and Laurie today.

[KarioDudeRBN]

The real problem is that they do this with everyone. Every single guest on every show gets the same damn questions over and over again. It's especially annoying with people like Hugh Laurie and Michael C Hall. They are clever, interesting, talented people that just get asked the same crap over and over.

[JimPlaysGames]

Here's a better question. Why hasn't Stephen Fry been a guest star in an episode of House yet?

[Orlabobz]

I do agree, he is a complex and brilliant man who has done so much other than House, but to be fair, the majority of American fans don't care about a bit of fry and laurie or blackadder or jeeves and wooster. Therefore they keep the questions well boring.

And aswel, Hugh gets paid a lot for these tv appearances.

I think it is up to us to simply go and discover Hugh ourselves....

[gradfark]

Believe it or not, British television doesn't play big in America (there's always the "cult" following).  Most, if not all, Americans had no idea Hugh Laurie existed before House. Probably has something to do with the Declaration of Independence, I'm guessing. =0} Although it is interesting to go back watch his past works.
