In the past few years, actor Hugh Laurie has become a household name in America.  Having recently won both SAG and Golden Globe Awards for his performance as Dr. Gregory House on "House," Laurie's career is on a definite upswing. 

    Though "House" is one of the most popular shows on television, many people may not know that Laurie is actually more well-known in Britain for his comic, rather than dramatic talents.  (Actually, many fans of "House" may not even know that Laurie is British, given his pitch-perfect portrayal of the acerbic American doctor.)  In the 80s and 90s, Hugh worked with Stephen Fry on the BBC sketch comedy series, "A Bit of Fry and Laurie." (And seriously, check out some of their bits on YouTube. Funny stuff.)

    It is hard to imagine anyone else as Dr. House (though I've heard a rumor that Tom Green was up for the role).  Laurie has transformed the cranky, insensitive doctor into a multi-layered character for whom audiences can actually root.  (Although maybe we all just wish we could say some of the cutting things Dr. House says...) 

    I have to say, though, I'm glad this Tritter plot is over.  Freezing Dr. Wilson's accounts? As if.
