'House' exclusive: Hugh Laurie's biggest episode EVER

His name is Hugh Laurie. And he’s a workaholic.

House’s leading man and producer will add to his already sizeable workload when he steps behind the cameras to direct this season’s 17th episode, slated to shoot in January and air March 22. “He starts prep when we get back [from the holiday break],” reveals exec producer Katie Jacobs.

This isn’t Laurie’s first time in the director’s chair — he previously helmed the British dramedy Fortysomething in which he also starred — but this marks his first time calling the shots on House. “Hugh has been there since day one through every single episode, so he’s phenomenally smart and his instincts are [impeccable],” Jacobs says. “This is going to be great for morale, because there’s no one that the cast and crew and the writers want to work harder for than our leader.”

The plot of the episode is being kept under wraps — grr! However, Jacobs at least lets slip that “it’s not a traditional episode.”

"House" season 1

"House" is strongest when it focuses on Laurie's wonderful performance as a miserable bastard who has to suffer for always being the smartest man in the room, and on the twists and turns of the cases....

So yay for Hugh being one of the best of the 00's
