Hugh Laurie’s Journey to the United States
For the past 30 years, one of the most successful actors in Hollywood has been Oxford, England born Hugh Laurie. Laurie is best known for his lead role on the hit television show “House,” which features his as Dr. Gregory House. While his role in the hit television show has made him one of the most popular actors in the world, Laurie has had a long and successful career before he ever took that role.
Laurie first entered the entertainment scene in the early 1980s and through the decade, as well as part of the 1990s, he appeared in a variety of television series including some sketch comedy programming. By the mid 1990s, Laurie began to make appearances in many different films in both the UK and the United States. Some of the films which Laurie appeared in included “101 Dalmatians,” the remake of “Flight of the Phoenix,” and all three of the “Stuart Little” movies.
Following his role in the American films, Laurie was considered a favorite to win the role of Dr Gregory House. In 2004 he was named as the starring role in the series as he beat out several other notable actors. In 2005 he was nominated for an Emmy for that role.
