| Hugh Laurie/Dr. Greg House #21: June 11th, a date to remember. Happy Birthday Gifto  This is the appreciation thread of Hugh Laurie, the multi-talented actor who plays the role of Dr. Gregory House on FOX’s highly acclaimed medical drama, House.   Made by: Mrs.Almeida  Made by: *oluha*  Dr. Gregory House is devoid of bedside manner and wouldn’t even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. While his behaviour can border on anti-social, House is a maverick physician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts have afforded him a great deal of respect. - hughlaurie.co.uk  Made by: kiara99 "House" is distinguished, elevated and made riveting not only by superior writing and a top-notch supporting class but, especially, by Hugh Laurie in the title role -- no, not that of a building but of a doctor whose last name is House. TV has seen cantankerous antiheroes before, but Laurie's House may be the most uncompromised and least sentimentalized ever. He can have you on the edge of your seat just waiting for a smile, even a half smile, just the merest hint of a twinkle in one eye – The Washington Post A complete filmography on Hugh’s current and previous work can be found here. Trivia:Hugh’s full name is James Hugh Calum Laurie He was born on June 11, 1959 in Oxford, England Youngest of four children Is married to Jo Green Has three children Is a skilled musician; can play the piano, guitar, drums, harmonica and saxophone Member of Band from TV, celebrity band with Greg Grunberg, James Denton, Bob Guiney and others. Avid motorcyclist Was a member of Cambridge Footlights; along with Stephan Fry and Emma Thompson Son of an Olympic gold medallist in the sport, he rowed for the England youth team (1977) and for Cambridge (1980) Educated at Eton and Cambridge, where he received a degree in Anthropology His most noteable roles (other than House) include: Blackadder, A Bit of Fry and Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster Published his first novel, The Gun Seller, in 1996; which went on to become a best seller Made a brief guest appearance on Friends in the episode titled “The One with Ross’s Wedding, Part Two” Recorded the audition tape for House in the bathroom of a hotel while filming Flight of the Pheonix in Namibia Won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama Series two years consecutively Was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in 2007 for his services to drama Hugh’s second novel, The Paper Soldier, will be published on September 27th, 2007 Memorable Quotes:On medicine: "I admire doctors, I admire study, empiricism and rational thought. I don't admire crystals and chewing willow bark and herbal remedies." On boxing: "Boxing is fascinating. It's good for the soul to be made to feel clumsy. I swank around during the week thinking I'm a big cheese, but you don't feel like that when you're in the ring with a chap who knows what he's doing. It's ritual humiliation. I'm going to be slugged about and probably killed, but I love it and have to do something to keep fit." On music: “I am going to form a jazz trio along the lines of a Ramsey Lewis or Herbie Hancock kind of thing. I’m gonna find some regular gigs, and we’ll play a very groovy set. If girls in tight-fitting cocktail dresses want to drape themselves over the piano, that’s fine, but the music’s the thing. That’s one of the few things I’m sure about, I just know, that will make me immensely happy.” On playing House: "It's as if you're playing left-handed. Or like everyone else is playing with a tennis racket and you have a salmon." - on the difficulty of performing with an American accent. On writing: “I'm sort of reasonably good at a lot of things but not great at anything yet. I'm a reasonably good writer. I don't write like Martin Amis, but I wish I did. But I can probably act better than Martin Amis. But I can't act as well as Kenneth Branagh, but I can probably play the piano better than Kenneth Branagh, but I can't play the piano as well as Dr. John. I may be able to cook better than Dr. John” On winning the Golden Globe: "I am absolutely speechless. Seriously, I don't have a speech. People are falling all over themselves to send you free shoes and free cuff links and colonic irrigations for two. Nobody ever offers you a free acceptance speech. There just seems to be a gap in the market. I would love to be able to pull out a speech by Dolce & Gabbana."

|  new thread. Thanks for opening Pandora  I love  the Birthday banner Pandora, it's perfect. Thanks Happy Birthday Hugh! Have a great day __________________ "Cameron makes House uneasy. He's very concious of the gap in age between them, and my guess is he feels a bit like the Phantom of the Opera around her. He likes being near her but wants to hide himself away." HL icon by Massa"He felt to me like..the Phantom of the Opera. He would hide his scarred body whenever he could..I found that very poignant and romantic." HL on House | |||
