Hugh Laurie

Nomination:

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series - House

Comic actor Hugh Laurie hailed from Oxford, England, but first made a name for himself as a performer with the Footlights Theater at rival Cambridge University in the early 1980s. He quickly rose in British television as a writer and actor, best known for his portrayal of dimwits on wacky British series and sketch shows. Despite years of starring TV roles and film character roles in his homeland, most Americans were unfamiliar with the multitalented Brit when he was cast in the title role of the medical mystery drama “House M.D.” (Fox, 2005- ). It was a far cry from his years of goofy comedy work, but Laurie was unquestionably riveting with his portrayal of the dark, complex doctor, Gregory House – enough that he's received numerous Best Actor Golden Globe and Emmy nominations throughout the show’s run.

Hugh Laurie is a phenominal talent, and should be recognized as such. His supporting cast should be up for awards as well.
