Hugh Laurie has been a personal favourite of mine since back in the days when almost no one on this side of "the pond" knew who he was. My first exposure to Hugh Laurie was through his comedic work at which he is brilliant, especially in Blackadder II (1986) as Prince Ludwig, Blackadder Goes Forth (1989) as Lt. The Honourable George Colhurst St. Barleigh and, of course, the outstanding Jeeves and Wooster (1990-1993). He is particularly excellent when working with his longtime friend, and partner in comedy, Stephen Fry, particularly in A Bit of Fry and Laurie (1987-1995). This pair has that special chemistry that make them an amazing comedy team.Hugh Laurie also boasts a filmography that includes appearances in, The Man in the Iron Mask (1998), Stuart Little (1999), and Flight of the Phoenix (2004). Hugh Laurie also turned in a memorable performance as Vincente Minnelli in Life With Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows (2001).
Anyone who has seen Hugh Laurie in the role of the caustic, misanthropic Dr. Gregory House in the Fox television series House M.D. (2004-present) knows what a great and diverse actor is Hugh Laurie. For his role as House, he has won 2 Golden Globes for best actor, 2 Television Critics Association Awards for Individual Achievement in Drama, a Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Actor, a Screen Actor's Guild Award for best actor, and 2 Emmy Award Nominations. If that weren't enough, Hugh Laurie is also an accomplished author and musician. He is also a handsome bloke who's quite easy on the eyes.
So, for this edition's 1000 Reasons Why I'm Crazy About Hugh Laurie, I give you, oh...let's call it Reason #8, "Little Girl" from A Bit of Fry and Laurie. Enjoy!
