He's got a great sense of humor
. I'm sure he'd be great with regular fans. It's probably only frustrating when the press (who are supposed to be great at interviews) ask really mundate "blah" questions ... or questions that ask him to reveal something that shouldn't be (ex. Snape's true allegience).
Still can't believe how some members of the press STILL ask Hugh Laurie to explain to people that he's really British and NOT American
because he's so phenominal as House.
