I always thought Hugh Laurie was cute, even when he was playing upper class twits and mouse fathers, but since he's been playing House he is the Sex Bomb. Why is that?
I followed his career for a long time, clear back to the Blackadder days and Bertie Wooster, so House was something of a shock for me. But a good shock.
Bits & pieces here and there - but a friend of mine recently got for her birthday (from a mutual friend) the entire J&W box set, so as soon as she's done with it, I'm first (or possibly second) in line to borrow them!
Of course, I do have Stephen Fry in his best Jeeves-voice waking me up every morning, calling me 'sir' and saying something funny (which I'm usually still too sleepy to remember).
He's comfortable to me, almost like an old friend, mainly from Black Adder and a few British movies, I've started watching House, but it took me a loooong time to be able to not be distracted by his fake American accent.
