Should'a check.
I for one am HAPPY he didn't check. Now we get our wonderful doctor. But. I do feel bad for him. =[[ I love ya Hugh, you are so talented. DON'T BE MISERABLE!
Hugh was so convinced that House would be a flop, he stayed in a hotel for the first year of filming. The 48-year-old has been a household name in the U.K. since the 1980s but only shot to fame in the U.S. in 2004 for his portrayal of medical maverick Dr Gregory House, and Laurie admits when he first took on the character, he assumed the show would only last a handful of episodes, so he didn't even bother checking through his contract. The series went on to become a major international hit, with Laurie picking up two Golden Globe Awards [We all know that] for the role and signing up for seven seasons. But the star wishes he had more confidence when he first signed up to the programme. He says, "At the time (when the pilot episode was made) I blindly signed up thinking it wouldn't go anywhere. "I don't know what the odds are (of a pilot becoming a long-running hit) - one in 100? One in 200? I didn't realise what I was getting myself into. The first year I was in a hotel. Everyone else in the show was signing leases on houses and I said, 'You're mad, we're only going to last a month.' I literally didn't unpack."
It's OVER!
The strike is OVER- and it's about time. The biggest bummer about is the fact House episodes aren't coming until may, I'm not sure how I'll live. Most likely watching the three seasons over and over, and watching the Tevo episodes I recorded. Ah well, it's better then nothing right? Though I heard Hugh was planning on visiting his family, this ruins that. =( but, we are happy to know House Will be back this year.
House-- Expected to shoot 4 to 6 new episodes to air in April/May.

Poor Hugh
<-- This picture is not a photoshoot. No, it's sombre Hugh on a sailing trip Alone. Obviously thinking of some very depressing things.
Secrets are revealed...Surprising jump out of your seat action. Okay, so it's not MY GOD amazing. But it's sad. And it concerns our Hugh. Go read it.
Here's the starting. There's a link for the article.
Hugh Laurie has practically cornered the market in playing cheery upper-class characters - whether bumbling his way through numerous Blackadder series; as Bertie Wooster, or even, this week, as the rather pompous and imperious MI6 mandarin battling for supremacy with his MI5 counterparts in the BBC spy drama series, Spooks.
So it comes as something of a surprise to learn that the comedy actor has suffered so severely from black moods and depression that he has spent two years in psychotherapy and credits the experience with changing his life. --- More
