Hugh Laurie | House

At first, Hugh Laurie was encouraged by his father to try rowing for his university. Along the way, though, Hugh also joined the university’s drama club. Well, as it turns out, this decision soon became one of the greatest investments he’s ever made. Since then, with his talent for acting improving along the way, Hugh has starred in projects such as A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Blackadder, and Stuart Little.

Among the many roles he’s portrayed, the actor is often regarded for his performance as the titular character in the TV series, House. After almost a decade of starring as the character, it’s no surprise that Hugh decided to try something new with his career. Besides acting in other projects since then, Hugh has also released a couple of albums and even plans to write a follow-up novel to his first book, The Gun Seller.
