Amy is a huge House fan. I like it too, although the episodes can be pretty formulaic. It did take me a while to wrap my mind around Hugh Laurie as House. I'd seen Laurie on TV before, but it was always in British comedies. John the Methodist's recent YouTube clip illustrates the roles he played regularly across the pond. Laurie played a farcical british fop as the Prince of Wales in Black Adder III. Ditto when he was Bertie Wooster in Jeeves and Wooster. Seeing him playing a satirical American jerk in a drama was just weird.
Amybear has the opposite experience of course. She's never seen any of his British work. When we caught a piece of his Inside the Actor's Studio appearance, she though it was odd for him to be funny and British. Go figure.
