Personal Quote:

On living in America while filming Dr House (2004): I do feel very foreign there, as if I'm on safari, looking at the exotic animals and the way they behave. Then again America is made up of people who don't feel American until they do, so I'm not alone in that. See more »

Trivia:

When Bryan Singer cast Laurie as Gregory House on Dr House (2004), he was unaware that Laurie is British. See more »

Trademark:

Frequently plays upper-class and dimwitted English characters See more »
