Breaking news:
"House M.D." may be Hugh Laurie's last appearance as a male lead on the small screen. The actor who stars as grumpy doctor Gregory House on FOX's hit medical drama suggested in a recent interview that he would likely retire from acting on the small screen once the series comes to an end.
"I can't imagine there will be another one quite like this," he told the Daily Record. "I think I will probably be as interested by either writing or producing or directing, or some other aspect. I find the whole field of it fascinating. And I think I am extremely lucky to have had the one shot that I have had at it and I wouldn't go looking for lightning to strike twice."
After eight years starring on "House", the 52-year-old actor said, "I hope I'm not going to drop dead, assuming that I'm unplugged," when the series ends. He added, "We have done 170-odd shows, that's about 56 feature films worth. That's a huge amount of experience and that sort of experience gives you a confidence in a way. I think that I have a confidence that I might not have had."
"House M.D." has been picked up for its eighth season back in May. Hugh, however, suggested in a radio interview that it is likely to be the show's final season. Speaking to U.K.'s Radio Times, the actor said at the time, "The end of (the eighth) season, right now, looks like the end of the show. That is as far as they have got me for."
Hugh Laurie, star of movies, films, House M. D. and many other shows. He is extremely popular among American audiences as well as those in the UK and Australia and of course Canada.
Hugh Laurie credits the show’s success to its writers, and said that he hopes the writers willl one day publish a book of the scripts.
When the new season started I was anticipating some sparks to fly and shoes, blouses, shirts, pants thrown hither and dither and they end up in bed. Who am I talking about? Huddy!
I still wish Cameron was playing around with Chase but phooey, no more young love. Now we have adult hot love between Greg and Lisa.
He is also executive producer for House but has moved from England, where I’m sure they have a few homes, but he has bought a home in Hollywood. It’s simply a beautiful place. I wonder if he misses the rain of England?
Did you know that in addition to playing House M.D. he has also written books, cut a music album and narrates many audio books?
What a great way to listen to Hugh in his native British accent!
I just learned the other day that he pilot for House was made in Toronto. The writers strike is soon to halt the production of many more TV programs.
There are only scripts left for about three weeks so we are hoping that the writers strike ends quickly. I don't know what I'd do without my House fix. Gregory House is so good in this American medical drama.
House by Hugh Lauries is not all Hugh has done in entertainment.
In England he has long been known as the partner to Stephen Fry in Jeeves and Wooster.
Hugh Laurie's filmography includes the movies; The Flight of the Phoenix, Maybe Baby and The Girl from Rio, one of my favorites. He can also be seen in the films sense and sensibility.
I hope Hugh's next project will be a movie with him playing the lead.
Hugh’s Biography
Hugh was born in Oxford England on June 11, 1959. He has three sisters and two brothers. Hugh Laurie is 6'2 1/2" tall.
Son of an Olympic gold medalist in the sport, he rowed for the England youth team (1977) and for Cambridge (1980).
He is married to Jo and has three children. He currently lives in Los Angeles while his family lives in London. Hugh makes regular trips to England to "mow the lawn" as he tells it.
Hugh has a hard time with his acting, always thinking he is not good enough and someday he'll be fired. I wish someone would convince him that he really is that good and now is the time to make the most of it. From Hugh's bio, it seems as if he is taking advantage of that.
I’m devoted to Hugh Laurie who character in House M. D. is named Gregory House.
Hugh has also stared in Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster with Stephen Fry, Fry and Laurie. Hugh has also starred in the movie Stuart Little Maybe Baby, The Girl from Rio and the Flight of the Phoenix. Please enjoy my Hugh painting gallery.
