Hugh Laurie

Finally watching DVDs made of American Idol from a coworker (it hurts that I can't say "tapes" or "taped") and we noticed that the serious Hugh Laurie of the House commercials was the same Hugh Laurie of Blackadder. We've never watched House but must have seen 50 commercials a week for it last spring and never once noticed that the grim title character was Lieutenant George/Prince George. That's a decent definition of acting: no makeup, looks totally different.
