I have only seen him in House and a couple of movies but I am sure there is so much more out there. He is simpy amazing, and very funny.

I haven't watched them all because they're so funny, hard to take all at once

Happy to be of service

I am not so fond of the way they are using him in this newest timeline/universe.

Then I caught a repeat of a Great Performances on PBS on New Years eve. It was Hugh Laurie doing blues and jazz and playing in New Orleans at different locations around town (and out of town, he was in Luckenbauch (sp) in one segment) with other performers. He is a very talented musician. His piano playing was really great, but it was all good.

The next day there was a House marathon on and I watched my first episodes ever, because I am now a big Hugh Laurie fan!

Did anybody else catch that Great Performances episode?
