Hugh Laurie

British actor, who played more than 170 roles throughout his career since 1975 has been widely recognition for starring in cult TV series “house”. A bit grim but witty diagnostician has the ability that distinguishes him among his colleagues. He became a kind of prototype of how to make the medicine, using not so traditional methods. The series has gathered millions of fans. And the actor himself hastened to change roles, not to stay in a single image. It remains to remember what other films he managed to play.

First steps

Hardly little Hugh could have imagined that medicine throughout his life will go next. The father, a doctor by profession, saw him the successor of the family business, but doctor Hugh did not intend to become. At least not on television. In his childhood he was an obedient child – had a calm personality, did well in school, attended Church. He enrolled in the University of Cambridge which he graduated from. Bachelor's degree in archaeology, he quickly realized that the selected specialization will not bring the desired satisfaction. Because he became fond of theater: community theater for many years embodied his dreams, and later made its President. Many performances, scripts which Hugh Laurie wrote personally led to the television – the first appearance in the series "Black adder", where he got more roles allowed to talk about him as a promising young actor.

Communicating roles

The end of the 80-ies of the last century were marked by a succession of diverse, but not memorable paintings. Running Prime-time series with the hunt called episodic images of Hugh Laurie. Filmography actor of the time recalls the most famous show: “Younger generation”, “Pure English murder”, “Alfresco”. In addition, beyond a few television movies: a fantastic Comedy “Crystal cube", where partners Hugh Laurie become colleagues at the University theater Emma Thompson and Stephen fry, the political drama "Restless heart", where the main role is played by Meryl Streep, and the Comedy “the Laughing prisoner".
