# Oh God SPANG!
but very woo at the same time.

How does Hugh Laurie, who has never in his career played anything other than a bumbling buffoon, manage to land the plum role as this intelligent, edgy, darkly sexy American doctor. Huh?

# I can never take that program seriously
his accent is terrible, I keep expecting him to break into that 'dammit jon!' sketch he used to do with Stephen Fry

# dammit to hell and three times back again John!
I know but who on earth, trying to cast that role, would have looked at an episode of Jeeves and Wooster or Blackadder and thought 'that's our man'?

# Apparantly they looked at his accent in Stuart Little......

# Far be it from me to cast aspersions
but I feel being ebst mates with Sir Stephen Fry probably didn't do him any harm.

He is officially the most popular Brit in America, after Judi Dench

EDIT... sorry... DAMN IT EVERY WHICH WAY BUT ONE

# From what I hear...
Some of the casting people didn't realise he wasn't American when he was auditioning.

# that is darkly sexy?
I'm grumpy, edgy, rude, etc. Why don't I have women hanging off me?
