When I first saw Hugh Laurie on House, I had remembered him from the only other time I had seen him, which was in Sense and Sensibility...I could not figure out if he was an American putting on a British accent, or a Brit, putting on an American accent...It was not until I did a bit of reading up about him, that I got the full story...
But you are right...he does a perfect American accent...
A perfect, snide American accent.
He cracks me up!
"If my brother dies, I will destroy everything you love."
"So I take it I was right about that Mafia thing."
