Wait...THAT'S Hugh Laurie?

I can't believe I didn't make the connection until it was shoved in my face during Stephen Fry's appearance on Late Late Show. The star of House was also the idiot prince in Blackadder.

My mind is blown.

I can't believe that either..where've you've been for the past 3 years?

Well, not actually watching House, for one. Yes, gasp, horror, etc.

And you've started now with this g-d awful tritter arc?

No, still not watching, actually. Like I said, I found out due to Stephen Fry's segment on Late Late Show, they briefly talked about the challenge of "acting smart" when most actors "have trouble facing the right way on the commode".

And Bertie Wooster!

To Stephen Fry's Jeeves.

Well, yes. Bertie I knew about, and that's not particularly mind-blowing, given how similar Bertie is to the prince. In fact, Laurie's Blackadder IV character could almost be Bertie Wooster Goes To War. :)

He was the dad in the Stuart Little movies.

I had the same problem. I watched the first episode and still have no idea what was going on in the plot, because I just kept thinking, over and over again, "This Doctor House person looks kinda like Hugh Laurie. He doesn't sound like Hugh Laurie. Like, at all. It must not be Hugh Laurie. But, he really looks like Hugh Laurie."

Funny, I just noticed that too, two days ago.

"House" was the show that convinced me that he can act in a serious role, and not merely as a fool.
