I'm sure many (American) people think Hugh Laurie is like House in real life too ๐Ÿ˜‚

American here, Iโ€™m a big fan of Stephen Fry so I knew about him from A Bit of Fry and Laurie. I know Iโ€™m an outlier in the statistics.

So were the production team of House. They totally thought he was an American and were surprised when he first spoke with them in his natural voice.
