"House" star Laurie shakes up image with new role
Hugh Laurie is bleary-eyed and tired. It is late afternoon, and he's been awake since 5 a.m. shooting an episode of television drama "House M.D.," which has made him a huge star in the United States. His lead role as the cranky, brash Dr. Gregory House on the top-rated Fox hospital show is far from the comic parts that first made the versatile British actor popular back home, and Laurie is again shaking up his image as a Los Angeles cop in "Street Kings," a movie opening in major cities on Friday. Lau

Hugh Laurie Experimented with Vicodin For His House Role
Not that he’s been labeled a realistic Method actor before, but Hugh Laurie admits he attempted to get closer to the character he portrays on House — by experimenting with Vicodin, the strong painkiller to which Dr. Gregory House is addicted. “I wouldn’t recommend it — we have to be careful,” Laurie, 48, tells Britain’s Radio Times magazine, “But then again … if you’re not in pain it gives a floaty, pleasurable feeling.” Laurie, renown as a perfectionist, says he’s unhappy with

Strimpel talks to accent coach Mary Howland, who says, "It's difficult not to stereotype when it comes to America. A lot of it is perceptual. There's an idea of Americans as brash, enthusiastic and confident. Going into an accent that is very enthusiastic, they tend to go too far." The Brits say American television is craptacular.
