Yes, Dr House is British.

If Fry is a personality, Laurie is an artist. His individual career is a blindspot for me, but as I understand it Laurie is absolutely a performer at heart. We can concider it a gift he ended up an actor instead of a cop in Hong Kong. Unlike name-dropping boisterous Fry, out of character, Laurie is fairly sheepish, leaning on dry wit over anecdotes or deep emotion.

Having watched a chunk of his filmography from the 80s and 90s, its apparent they'd use his musical talent any chance they got. He's a great singer, pianist, guitar player, and he does a killer mouth-trumpet. The man is real talent, he even has his own blues album, "Let Them Talk".

Though known for being the grumpy yet brilliant Dr House in the States, Laurie started his career type-casted as rich buffoons and silly poofs. He had crazy expressions and was easy to throw around-- Laurie has an innate talent for looking befuddled and betrayed.
