La sixième saison a-t-elle changé House ?
Par Julien LOUBIERE - 04 juin 2010
ATTENTION, NOMBREUX SPOILERS : Hugh Laurie a révélé à Entertainment Weekly qu'il avait été choqué lorsque House s'est résolu à faire amputer Hannah, victime d'une embolie graisseuse dans l'épisode final de la sixième saison de Dr House, des suites de l'effondrement d'un immeuble. Hugh Laurie a déclaré : « Cela semblera peut-être fantaisiste mais j'ai été très secoué par cette décision sans alternative. Ce n'est plus un jeu et il ne peut pas bluffer. Il doit dire la vérité. Vous avez face à vous un House mis à nu, c'est très surprenant. »
L'acteur a semblé très marqué par les scènes d'une grande puissance émotionnelle qu'il a du tourner. Il précise aussi que la mort d'un de ses patients à changé House. « Comme nous tous, il a réalisé sa petitesse, son incapacité à guérir et à sauver une vie. » Après cet aveu d'impuissance, Hugh Laurie affirme qu'il est ouvert à poursuivre l'aventure au-delà de la septième saison et c'est une excellente nouvelle pour tous les fans de la série !

Article rigolo Dr House, confessions intimes
(08/06/2010)
Interview rock’n’roll du doc le plus acerbe de la TV
de notre correspondant aux Etats-Unis franck rousseau
LOS ANGELES Dr House vous manque ? On vous comprend. C’est que la suite de la saison 6, en mal d’épisodes doublés, tarde à nous revenir sur RTL-TVi. Alors, vous pouvez toujours vous rabattre sur le quatrième chapitre des aventures du doc, sur TF1 ce soir. Ou sur cette interview. Parce que nous savons à quel point vous êtes dépendant de ce show, nous nous sommes dit qu’un petit verbatim Hughlaurien pourrait, peut-être, vous éviter de sombrer dans une forme de dépression post-cathodique…
SUR SON NOM
“Pour l’Etat civil, mon nom est James Hugh Calum Laurie. Si j’ai décidé de le raccourcir c’est parce que j’ai eu pitié pour la personne chargée de taper les génériques ! Idem pour les affichistes. Avouez que cela la fiche mal quand votre nom est plus long que le titre !”
SUR LES ANGLAIS
“On dit que les Anglais sont excentriques. Je n’ai pas dérogé à la règle. Pour preuve : Je me rappelle que je portais des jeans délavés à l’eau de Javel bien avant que ça soit la mode. Mes voisins croyaient que ma mère avait fait une bourde en le mettant dans la machine à laver alors qu’en réalité, c’était moi. Si j’avais su que quelques années plus tard, ce look allait devenir tendance, j’aurais déposé un brevet !”
SUR LA NAISSANCE DE HOUSE
“J’étais en Namibie, en train de tourner Le Vol du Phoenix, lorsque j’ai reçu un fax – sur probablement le seul télécopieur du pays. Sur ce fax, on me demandant si je souhaitais auditionner pour une série médicale. Quelques pages de script étaient jointes. Je me suis donc installé dans la salle de bain de ma chambre d’hôtel – le seul endroit qui était suffisamment éclairé – puis j’ai pris une caméra et je me suis filmé. J’ai ensuite envoyé la cassette de mon auto-audition. C’est bien plus tard que j’ai appris que la production cherchait en réalité, je cite, Un Américain ayant une gueule de bon yankee. Il faut croire qu’ils ont mal lu mon CV !”
SUR HOLLYWOOD
“La première fois que j’ai mis les pieds à Hollywood, je me suis retrouvé assis dans un restaurant à quelques mètres d’une octogénaire en mini-jupe et chaussures à talons compensés. Je me suis dit : Mon Dieu, dans cette ville les gens n’ont décidément aucun complexe. Au même moment, un type d’une vingtaine d’années l’embrassait goulûment ! Depuis que je me suis installé à L.A. je me trouve un peu moins pâle. Avant, j’avais un teint œuf brouillé. Aujourd’hui, grâce au soleil de Californie, j’approche du toast un peu cramoisi !”
SUR SA FAMILLE
“Mes enfants et ma femme vivent en Grande-Bretagne. C’est une décision que nous avons prise collégialement. Nous sommes très attachés à l’enseignement que l’on prodigue au Royaume-Uni. Je ne dis pas que le système éducatif américain est mauvais, mais je ne me sens pas d’affinités avec la méthodologie US. On ne déracine pas non plus des ados comme ça. L’éloignement ne nous empêche pas de tchater, emailer, facebooker ! Même si j’ai l’impression parfois de vivre sur une base pétrolière !” SUR LE STATUT DE VEDETTE
“Quand j’ai signé pour cette série, elle ne portait pas le titre de House. Je pensais qu’on allait baptiser ce show du nom d’un hôpital ou éventuellement d’une maladie. J’étais très loin de me douter que la prod’ allait prendre le nom d’un personnage. La première fois que j’ai lu le script, j’ai même cru que Gregory House serait un personnage périphérique. À mes yeux, le héros de la série, le personnage central, c’était Wilson !”
SUR SA MÉMOIRE
“Je peux mémoriser des pages entières de répliques médicales sans aucun problème . Mais attention ce n’est pas une mémoire à long terme. Je peux très bien vous balancer, sur le champ une tirade de cinq minutes avec quarante mots savants à dix-neuf syllabes et ne pas être en mesure de vous la recracher deux heures plus tard ! “ SUR LES MÉDECINS
“Mes amis me disent souvent que j’aurai pu faire un très bon docteur car je suis quelqu’un qui est à l’écoute des gens. C’est gentil. Mais c’est du pipeau. Mon père était médecin. Lui était quelqu’un de vraiment dévoué à l’être humain. Moi, je ne suis qu’un leurre. Une fraude personnifiée. J’ai toujours eu beaucoup d’admiration pour ces praticiens qui prennent la température anale des patients atteints de constipation chronique ! Depuis que je joue House, j’ai le sentiment d’avoir appris un tas de mots savants. Du coup, quand je vais acheter des médicaments c’est à peine si le pharmacien ne me perçoit pas comme un confrère. En attendant, quand je suis souffrant, je paye mes pilules plein pot !”

Gold to reunite Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie
UKTV-owned channel to air 90-minute documentary on the two stars this autumn
Jason Deans guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 23 June 2010 07.09 BST
Digital channel Gold is reuniting Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie on screen for the first time in 15 years for a documentary about their interlinked careers.
The 90-minute special will air on UKTV-owned Gold this autumn and will look back at Fry and Laurie's comedy partnership, which began at Cambridge University 30 years ago when they were introduced to each other by Emma Thompson.
The pair were part of the Cambridge Footlights revue that won the first-ever Edinburgh Festival Perrier Award in 1981 and then moved into TV, working together on shows including Saturday Live and Blackadder.
Their BBC sketch show A Bit of Fry & Laurie ran for four series from 1989 and the double act then took the lead roles in ITV's Jeeves and Wooster.
Since then they have forged separate careers in TV, film, writing and directing. Laurie is now best known as the star of US medical drama House, while Fry's TV work includes fronting BBC panel show QI and travel series Stephen Fry in America.
The documentary is being made by independent producer Tiger Aspect. UKTV's Catherine Whelton will executive produce along with Tiger Aspect's Ricky Kelehar.

Dr House : Hugh Laurie, l'acteur que les Français adorent détester
Hugh Laurie est un cas unique. C'est l'un des acteurs préférés des Français... qui adorent haïr son personnage, le "Dr House". Un acteur aux multiples talents dont l'ouvrage "Tout est sous contrôle" sort en format poche...
Sacré Hugh Laurie ! Le docteur le plus déjanté du petit écran a réussi à implanter son abominable personnage cynique, Dr House, comme une référence. Il est évident que c'est grâce au talent d'Hugh Laurie que cette incroyable mayonnaise a pris, que la série est l'une des plus regardées dans le monde... et qu'il a remporté deux fois de suite le Golden Globe du meilleur acteur dans une série dramatique, en 2006 et 2007.
Pourtant, Hugh Laurie a commencé sa carrière 9 ans avant le premier coup de manivelle de Dr House, dans le film Plenty qui n'a pas marqué l'histoire du cinéma. Mais l'artiste possède de nombreuses cordes à son arc artistique, que ce soit devant la caméra bien sûr, derrière (il a réalisé plusieurs épisodes de la série), à côté comme guitariste amateur et comme sportif, aimant notamment la boxe. On le découvre aussi écrivain.
Certes, le comédien n'a pas encore vendu de scénario à Hollywood - et si c'est le cas, c'est sous pseudonyme et il ne l'a pas révélé. En revanche, il a sorti Tout est sous contrôle, un premier roman qui s'est très bien vendu et qui sort pour l'été en poche (Point Seuil). Avant de le retrouver, plus méchant que jamais, en blouse blanche...

Extraits d'un article sur les Editions Sonatine, lu sur le blog du Parisien:
Sonatine, un franc-tireur de l'édition
[...]
L'un établi dans l'ouest parisien, l'autre en province, les deux associés coopèrent sans routine, se retrouvant pour des week-ends ou des dîners de travail où ils confrontent leurs intuitions. "Arnaud ne travaille pas via les salons et les agents, mais très en amont, en fouinant via un réseau de contacts, d'auteurs... C'est comme cela qu'il a découvert que le texte de Hugh Laurie n'avait jamais été traduit. On ne connaissait pas bien la série "Dr House", on l'a regardée en DVD, on a trouvé que le manuscrit était dans le ton de la collection Sonatine. Ensuite, on a eu l'accord d'Universal pour communiquer sur le livre en faisant référence à la série. Coup de chance : "Tout est sous contrôle" est sorti en février 2009, au moment où démarrait la quatrième saison sur TF1 : on pensait atteindre les 20.000 exemplaires au mieux, en a vendu 260.000 !"
[...]
La deuxième vie des polars de Sonatine, en collection de poche - Pocket, Points ou Livre de Poche - est tout aussi brillante : 200.000 exemplaires pour "Seul le silence", le premier Roger Jon Ellory ; 250.000 pour Hugh Laurie.

What do you get when you combine a bit of Hugh Laurie, a dollop of Dr. House, shake with a hearty portion of charity and serve it up in a trendy Chicago tavern? “It’s the Dr. House Martini,” says Beth Heller, Marketing Director for Harry Caray’s and a partner in Harry Caray’s Tavern on Chicago’s beautiful Navy Pier Waterfront.
DR. HOUSE MARTINI: "Belvedere vodka, a croaked whisper of fine vermouth, almond stuffed olives - served cold as a Welsh grave." - Hugh Laurie (11.00)
Last month, Laurie performed at Harry’s with The Band From TV, a rock band of television stars whose mission it is to raise money and awareness for their favorite charities. Band member James Denton (Desperate Housewives), once a server at Harry’s, is a partner in the restaurant and was instrumental in bringing the band to his old stomping ground. And now Laurie’s favorite drink has been added to Harry Caray’s menu to join an enticing list of beverages named for Chicago sports legends like Ernie Banks and Bobby Hull—and to raise money for Laurie’s charity, Save the Children Foundation.

Greg House premier du classement des meilleurs personnages de séries de la ddécade selon TV Overmind: The Top 10 TV Characters of the Decade A Look Back at the Most Memorable Characters of the Decade
#1 – Gregory House, House
It's no secret that I've lost interest in the television series House. Its cyclical storytelling and lack of plot progression finally made me stop watching after the fifth season. However, that doesn't mean that I don't like the character of House; I think he's one of the greatest television characters ever.
When House was casting, actor Hugh Laurie believed that the series (which didn't have a title yet) would revolve around the character of Wilson, and that House would serve as Wilson's sardonic sidekick. This, however, was not the case. House was the main character of the show, and has consistently proven his worthiness throughout the series, especially in the first three seasons.
As a completely self-centered character, House has been often compared to Sherlock Holmes, and the connection is completely intentional. Both characters are geniuses and both characters have addictions. Both characters confide in close friends (Wilson/Watson), and both characters have the address of 221B. Name references to characters such as Moriarty and Irene Adler are thrown around, making the connection all the more obvious.
Like Holmes, House has great intelligence, and often is able to tell a lot about people simply by looking at them (in one instance, he diagnosed a waiting room full of patients on his way out the door).
However, House is also a very sad character. Aside from Wilson, he is unable to build any lasting relationships, though he does have an interest in Lisa Cuddy, the hospital administrator. The child of an abusive father, House walks with a cane after an infarction of the quadriceps muscle in his leg. This muscle was removed, though it caused him to experience pain, leading him to develop an addiction to the painkiller Vicodin, leading him to brushes with the law and eventually hallucinations. House supposedly conquered this addiction in the season six premiere, "Broken."
House, like our number #6, Ari Gold, has plenty of biting insults at his command. He has a disdain for everyone, citing his mantra, "Everybody lies." However, despite this, House is very reliant on people, especially Wilson, who often helps House during low moments in his life. House, in turn, helps Wilson during such moments, such as giving Wilson a place to stay during Wilson's divorce. Cuddy has often saved House from punishment, when urging the hospital board to stand up to Edward Vogler, and when committing perjury during House's hearing.
House has proven to be one of the most complex and interesting characters ever to appear on television, and is certainly the best character that the aughts have introduced. It's a pity that he hasn't been given better material to work with, but at least he is one of the most recognizable faces in the entertainment industry today.
Do you agree with the choice of Gregory House for the television character of the decade? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below, and leave us your lists — we're excited to hear what you think.

Si vous avez envie de déprimer, regardez les montants... Hugh Laurie, le winner ! Les acteurs de séries dramatiques n'ont pas connu de grosses augmentations par rapport à l'année dernière. Leurs salaires sont même plutôt stables. - Hugh Laurie (Dr House) : 400 000 $ par épisode - Christopher Meloni et Mariska Hargitay (New York Unité Spéciale des Victimes, ils ont, fut un temps, menacé de partir pour les raisons salariales) : 395 000 $ chacun par épisode - Marg Helgenberger (Les Experts - la comédienne a choisi de travailler dans moins d'épisodes) : 375 000 $ - Mark Harmon (NCIS) : 375 000 $ - Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy) : 250 000 $ - LL Cool J (NCIS Los Angeles) : 125 000 $ - Joe Mantegna (Esprits criminels) : 125 000 $ - Michael Weatherly (NCIS, qui avait mis sa démission en jeu pour avoir une augmentation) : 125 000 $ - Nathan Fillion (Castle) : 100 000 $ - Zachary Levi (Chuck) : 60 000 $ Charlie Sheen et Oprah Winfrey grand vainqueurs ! Dans les séries comiques, les salaires sont plus élevés et Charlie Sheen remporte encore une fois la palme. - Charlie Sheen (Mon oncle Charlie) : 1 250 000 $ par épisode (l'année dernière, il touchait 875 000 $) - Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives) : 400 000 $ - Tina Fey (30 rock), Jeremy Piven (Entourage): 350 000 $ - Jane Lynch (Glee) : 50 000 $ - Matthew Morrison (Glee) :30 000 $ Enfin, côté talk-show, si Jimmy Kimmel gagne 6 millions $ par an, Ellen DeGeneres atteint 8 millions $. David Letterman a la joie de flirter avec les 28 millions $ par an et bien sûr, c'est Oprah Winfrey qui remporte la palme avec 315 millions $ par an ! Elle est la femme la plus riche de la télévision américaine ! Les mieux payés sont donc Oprah, Charlie et Hugh. Des chiffres qui donnent le vertige !

Hugh Laurie Records New Album with Joe Henry at Ocean Way
"House" Star Works with Top Musicians on New Orleans Blues Project
September 07, 2010 -- DMN Newswire -- British actor/musician Hugh Laurie is recording an album of New Orleans Blues at Ocean Way in Hollywood. The star of the TV series "House," is teaming up with producer Joe Henry, known for his fine work with artists such as Elvis Costello, Solomon Burke, Aimee Mann, Ani DiFranco and Loudon Wainwright III. Audio engineer Ryan Freeland is tracking the album.
Laurie has been quoted as saying he was "drunk with excitement" after signing his album deal with Warner Music Entertainment. "I am particularly thrilled to be working with Joe Henry, who has produced some of my favorite records of all time."
Laurie, who plays piano, guitar and blues harp, is known for incorporating his musicianship into his TV work. He often sits in with the all-star charity group Band From TV, and made a guest appearance on the most recent Meat Loaf opus.

Laurie's as-yet-untitled new album features guest artists such as David Hidalgo of Los Lobos and steel guitar aficionado Greg Leisz. The TV star remarked, "I know the history of actors making music is a checkered one, but I promise no one will get hurt." The album is slated for release later this year.

Le transcript de l'émission, sous balises parce que c'est LONG
Spoiler:
Tavis: Pleased to welcome Hugh Laurie to this program. The six-time Emmy nominee continues his role on one of TV's most popular and unique dramas, "House." The show just kicked off its seventh season earlier this week. It airs, of course, every Monday at 8:00 on Fox. Here now, a scene from "House."
[Clip]
Tavis: Hugh Laurie, good to have you on the program, sir.
Hugh Laurie: Thank you very much, good to be here.
Tavis: You doing all right?
Laurie: I'm fine, I'm fine.
Tavis: So I'm going to tell on you. There's a monitor over my shoulder here.
Laurie: Right. (Laughs)
Tavis: And while the clip was playing, featuring one Hugh Laurie (laughs) you had them turn the monitor around.
Laurie: Turn, turn, turn it away.
Tavis: Yeah. (Laughs) So you have a problem watching yourself?
Laurie: I do. I do have a huge problem, a huge problem. In fact, worse than watching is hearing. I cannot stand to hear my own voice. When it's coming out of my mouth right now it sounds fantastically interesting to me. (Laughter) It's rich in light and shade, it goes up and down. But when I hear it either on TV or even on someone's answering machine, I just sound like I've had half my brain removed. It's just so - I can't bear it.
Tavis: Every actor has his or her own process. If you don't want to hear yourself and you don't want to see yourself, then how do you critique yourself?
Laurie: Yes, that's a good question, although I would say even before that question I would say, "Why am I even an actor?" But anyway, let's just leapfrog over that one.
Tavis: No, no, no, hold up, wait a minute. (Laughter) I'll follow your lead here. We will start with the actor question. So why are you an actor?
Laurie: No, well, that's only - why has that only just occurred to me, that question? Because if it's really that unbearable, what am I doing? And I don't know the answer to it. It's some deep-seated need that I can't explain. I wish I could. I wish I could. I'm going to have to come up with something right now.
Tavis: (Laughs) No, you can marinate it on it and come back on the show again.
Laurie: Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I suppose actors crave attention of some kind or they have suffered some form of arrested development and are still living in a sort of child's fantasy existence at some level in their psyche. I don't know.
Tavis: Why can't it be as simple as this is your gift, this is your calling, this is your vocation, and you're awfully good at it? You are, indeed.
Laurie: Well, thank you, Tavis. Thank you very much for rising to my bait. (Laughter) Thank you. Well, maybe that's what it is. I won't deny that I did know from a very young age that this was something I could do when school friends would think about appearing on stage as the most frightening, the most awful, intimidating experience ever, I knew that it was something I could do.
I don't know why that is but I just did, and so maybe in that sense there is some sort of sense of calling there. Anything you know at a very young age. I also - let's be honest, it's a way of showing off to girls. (Laughter) Let's not skip that part.
When I did it for fun, when I did it at school and university, it was definitely a way of showing off to girls. When I started doing it professionally, the odd thing is that in my mind the audience changed from being predominately female, or female in character, I don't mean made up in women, I just mean female in character, it changed and became male.
The professional audience was a lot of guys like this, going "Okay, then. Okay, what have you got?" And then the audience was something to be outwitted. They had to be beaten somehow. You had to trick them or fool them or overwhelm them, which was not as enjoyable an experience.
The showing off to girls is a much better way of thinking of it, and I've sort of lately come back to that. I'm not talking about really showing off, I just mean having in one's mind the audience as a female entity, as a female character.
Tavis: Do you recall, since you were so good at this so early on, beyond the showing off part, do you recall what play you were in, what you were doing when you felt something more than just showing off? But you know, like, "I really enjoy this and I'm pretty good at this, and this means something to me."
Laurie: I do.
Tavis: What was it?
Laurie: I do, and it was - actually, it wasn't even a play, it was a short sketch, and it wasn't the moment on stage that I remember. What I do remember is that I won a prize. It was a school - everyone in school had to do something and I did this little sketch, and my parents were supposed to come to the show; they were late. Often happened. Oh, woe is me. They arrived late, so they missed me doing the sketch but they were there in time to her my name read out as the winner of this prize.
Tavis: That's all that matters.
Laurie: (Laughter) That's what matters, right. I was sort of peeking through the curtain and I saw them smile at each other when my name was read out, and I will never forget that. That was a very big thing. I had sort of brought them pleasure and satisfaction, and that was a good feeling, to feel that I had not let the side down. That was a very good feeling. Although what I was actually doing on stage I don't remember, but I do remember that moment very clearly.
Tavis: So now that we've figured out how it is and why it is that you are an actor, we will go back to the initial question.
Laurie: Okay.
Tavis: That I think I still remember, which is if you don't like to hear yourself and don't like to watch yourself, what's your - this is like one of those "Inside the Actor's Studio" questions.
Laurie: Right.
Tavis: How, then, do you know whether you're hitting the mark, whether you're delivering what you want to deliver? Do you rely on others for that?
Laurie: To a degree, but I'm also watching myself at the time when I do it. I'm watching myself and listening to myself. I feel slightly embarrassed saying this, because I know that some actors, some part of me feels that a proper actor is so subsumed into the character, so immersed in the moment that they are unconscious of any other consideration, not even aware of a camera, not even aware of the fiction.
That's not me. I am very, very aware at all times. I'm watching myself, I'm listening to myself, I'm judging myself, critiquing myself all the time, and I will know when I do something and I will immediately say, "Can I do another one, because I didn't quite get that thing," or that I wanted to do something there and it didn't quite work.
So I'm doing that on the spot. When the show is actually done, there's nothing more I can do. I think that's what it is, is that feeling of powerlessness. I can't reach into the TV and change it and redo - I wish I could, but I can't. So that feeling of being out of control means that I just can't - I find it really hard to look at.
Tavis: Your comment now makes me think of something. I was just reading a piece the other day about Frank Sinatra, and Sinatra - I'm paraphrasing Sinatra's quote, but I'm pretty close to it. Sinatra made the comment that you should never ignore an inner voice that tells you that something can be better, even when everybody else says it's okay.
Laurie: Right.
Tavis: So obviously, you have that inner thing. So on the set they're like, "Okay, moving on," and you're like, "Well, wait, let's do that one more time." So you obviously have this inner voice, when you know that it can be -
Laurie: I do. Of course, I'm hesitating to ally myself with Frank Sinatra, because the chairman of the board, and we'll all hail. But what the heck, you raised it. (Laughter) You raised it, so I'm going to go with it. Yeah, me and Sinatra, we're sort of like that.
Yes, I would agree with that. I would agree with that. I think that voice, which is there all the time, it's a really peculiar thing, psychologically, that one is able to be within the drama, within the scene, within the character and yet have another part of one's brain that is actually outside and judging and saying no, that could be better, that could be better, why did you do it like that? That's not the way to go, go the other way.
That voice is always there. It's a strange thing that those things are - but then the brain is a peculiar thing in itself.
Tavis: Since we've struck a music chord here, let me stay with this and we'll get back to "House" in just a second here. So I mentioned Frank Sinatra. We owe this conversation to a mutual friend of ours, James Taylor.
Laurie: Right.
Tavis: We've been trying to get you on this show for a while now and your schedule's busy and you're always ripping and running and doing a bunch of stuff, including music, which we'll get to in a second. But obviously, you're a James Taylor fan, as I am.
Laurie: Yes. That was a great night. Was that not a great night? We saw -
Tavis: Yeah. I had a blast, as I always do.
Laurie: It was absolutely fantastic, and he was so - well, the songs are so beautiful, but his - the vibe that he gives out, he's so - he's so funny, and yet at the same time there's something so romantic about him. There's a great nobility about him, which is a hard thing to pull off, that someone could be - he's sort of self-deprecating and he kind of clowns around a little bit, but there's always that beautiful strain of melancholy in his songs. That was a great night. It was a terrific night.
Tavis: He's a great artist.
Laurie: Was that the last night? That was the last night.
Tavis: He and Carole had been on tour together.
Laurie: Right, and they said, I think, that they had no plans to do that again. I felt like we were witnessing the last night of a piece of American history, really.
Tavis: I felt the same way. It was a great tour. I saw them I think two or three times on that tour, and I was there for the last night, so it was great. So Sinatra, Taylor, Laurie.
Laurie: Right, right. (Laughter) It's a natural.
Tavis: You are a musician as well.
Laurie: Well, I'm a fantasist, is what I am. I fantasize about being a musician, yes. Whether I am, that's not for -
Tavis: I've got a picture right there that says you are.
Laurie: Oh, really?
Tavis: Yeah, it's on - you can't see this because you don't believe in watching yourself. But on the monitor I can see you playing keyboard.
Laurie: But that's not - that might be plugged in. (Laughter) In fact, there are some nights when I strongly suspect it was not plugged in. They just -
Tavis: How did the music thing happen for you?
Laurie: Well, it's something I've always loved. I didn't love when I was a kid and I went through the normal piano lessons that people go through. That I hated, I don't deny it. I hated that part of it. I think classical music tuition is, well, was when I was a child, was an abomination.
I still think in some ways it is one of life's great tragedies for everybody who gives up an instrument. I think everybody who gives up an instrument has lost a big part of their -
Tavis: You're making me feel really bad now.
Laurie: Oh, no, no, no, I don't mean - I'm sorry, I don't mean to do that.
Tavis: You took me back 35 years.
Laurie: I don't mean to do that.
Tavis: I'm about to slit my wrists. (Laughter)
Laurie: I'm sorry.
Tavis: I should have never stopped taking piano lessons. I should have never stopped taking saxophone lessons.
Laurie: But answer me this - is there anyone you can think of who is glad they gave up learning the piano? No such human being exists, right?
Tavis: I bow down, you are correct. I think you're right. Anybody who's ever played an instrument, as they get older, they regret that they ever stopped playing.
Laurie: Absolutely. Which is not to say that they didn't have extremely good reasons for giving up. Everybody does. In fact, I gave up. I went on hunger strike, I hated it so much. I actually didn't eat for four days.
Tavis: I didn't do that.
Laurie: Well, at the age of 12, it's quite a lot time. Although I did actually have a bar of chocolate, but my mother didn't know that. (Laughter) So as far as she knew it was four straight days without eating. Eventually, she cracked, so I won that one.
I gave up and I didn't touch the piano for probably - actually, nearly 10 years after that and then sort of came back to it.
Tavis: What brought you back?
Laurie: Well, I just would hear - I would just hear piano players and I would hear music, and just think - I don't just want to sit here and passively listen; I want to get inside it. I want to climb inside this and understand how it works and be able to do it myself and be able to express these same emotions, these same feelings that I hear on a record. I want to climb inside that and do it myself.
Tavis: How often do you get a chance to do that?
Laurie: Well, I played the - those pictures you have of me with the unplugged keyboard I do a couple of times a year with a band from TV, which is a terrific outfit and I must say has got pretty darn good. We started four or five years ago, and in the early days we were loud and enthusiastic. (Laughter)
But lately, the last few that I played, I have to say if I'd been in the audience I would have actually really enjoyed these shows. They were not embarrassing shows at all. They were really, really good. But more recently than that I've actually started - amazingly - I've started making a record. A record company came and said, "Do you want to do this?" and I sort of beat down that natural response I've had for most of my life, which is, "Oh, I'm not ready, I could never do that, I need 10 years of," and I thought, oh, to hell with it, I'm going to go for it.
Because in this life - well, I only know this life; I don't know other lives. But in this life you tend not to regret the things you do; only the things you don't do. I thought if 10 years go by and I don't get this chance again, that will hurt me a lot. So I'm going to seize this one, and I have, and we're about halfway through now. We've done five or six tracks.
Tavis: I knew this, I must confess. I knew you were working on an album before you just told me and the world that you were doing this, because in that chair just some weeks ago was a great artist who was rushing out of my studio to get to a recording studio to spend some time with you.
Laurie: That's right.
Tavis: I said, "You're going to play with who?"
Laurie: That's right.
Tavis: "You're going to do what?" And that artist was -
Laurie: That was Dr. John.
Tavis: - Dr. John.
Laurie: Although I didn't - the weird thing is I didn't know he'd come from here. (Laughter) I knew that he was in town one day. We'd got like two hours with him, we could get him, so this is the actual chair he sat in.
Tavis: Dr. John was here, yeah.
Laurie: Well, that was an - because I worshipped that guy for about - well, as long as I can remember, 30-odd years, and that was an amazing experience. In fact -
Tavis: How was the session?
Laurie: Well, the session was great. I'd planned to get there before him so I could rehearse with the bass player and everything would be - and he could just sort of sweep in, in a regal fashion, as is his due. I don't know, maybe he cut the interview short, because he was there early. (Laughter) You were too quick. He was there early, before I got there.
He was already sitting at the piano and I had to kick him off and say, "Look, I'm going to play this. You're just going to sing." And to kick -
Tavis: I was about to ask. Hold up, hold up - how do you kick Dr. John off of a piano.
Laurie: I know, I know. Well, he was actually, bless him, he was very relieved, because he just said, "Oh, that's great, I don't have to learn it." He was so - because let's face it, there's a man who has nothing else to prove on the piano. But even just hearing him play those chords, I just melt.
Tavis: You have an affinity for New Orleans and the music it has birthed, obviously.
Laurie: I do, yeah, yeah, and he is to my mind really the great - well, I can't say - one can never really say so-and-so is the greatest. It just happens to be my favorite sort of living exponent of that particular form, which happens to also be my favorite. My favorite all the way back to Jellyroll Morton and - whose birthday it is today, or a few days ago, depending on (unintelligible).
Tavis: Exactly, yeah.
Laurie: Yeah, this week.
Tavis: Great artist, to be sure. Let me circle back to "House" now, as I promised. Your life is so fascinating, so I'm glad we got some of that out of the way, but I want to get back to "House," though. Speaking of this chair, months before Dr. John was here another great actor on "CSI," Robert David Hall, plays the coroner, in real life walks on a cane, was on this program, and your name came up in the conversation, and he was saying how grateful he was to you and the producers of "House" for putting you on that cane, because he is a national spokesperson for Americans with these disabilities and these kind of challenges.
He was saying how grateful he was to you that you all put that character on a cane. I suspect you must hear that from time to time - people who are grateful to see that.
Laurie: I do, I do, but in some ways it's a very difficult subject because - it's a very complex issue. There's no denying the fact that House's reliance on the cane has somehow affected his character. He is a man who - well, he's a man in physical pain, for one thing, and he's also a man who yearns for a physical wholeness that has been denied him.
At the same time, the outside world, and I think this is undeniably true, give him a kind of license that he might not otherwise get were he not to walk with a cane. That the cane is a sort of - it's almost a sort of cane of truth. While I'm holding this thing, you can't touch me.
Now, you may say that that's hypocritical and it should make no difference, and why would people treat a man with a cane any differently. Well, yes, those are all valid questions. The fact is, they do. They just do, and it's a very complicated thing that it's bound up both in what has made him the character he is and what allows him to get away with the behavior he gets away with.
I don't know if that second part of it is a good thing, but it's a real thing, and it operates both as a dramatic device as a character on television, but also in real life. I think people sort of defer. They feel a kind of awkwardness that means that they will allow things to be done and said that they wouldn't otherwise do. It's a peculiar and complicated subject.
Tavis: What's peculiar for me, although I'm a part of the group that loves the show so I bought into this peculiar, strange craziness of this character House, what is it about him - you guys are starting this week, just started season number seven, so obviously people love the show. You've been nominated for Emmys a multiple number of times.
People love the show, they love you, they love the character, and yet this guy is cranky, he's weird, he's - you can describe him a variety of ways. What is it about this character that keeps us coming back season after season?
Laurie: I'm really nervous of trying to deconstruct it and work out what are the successful ingredients and what are the less successful ones in case that one, because I think as soon as you consciously try to lean on particular things it's - is it like opening an oven door before the soufflé is risen, then it won't rise?
That's a really hopeless analogy. (Laughter) I don't know why I chose that, and I don't even cook soufflé, so why did I even bring that up?
Tavis: It worked, though.
Laurie: But you know what I mean.
Tavis: You got your point across.
Laurie: If one starts to examine too closely. But I suppose I personally like the character. I know he's cranky, people describe him as mean and all kinds of things, which he is, but I nonetheless like him. I find him extremely funny. I find a sort of - there's an exhilaration I find in inhabiting someone or spending time with someone who doesn't care, who doesn't care about the social consequences.
It's both frightening, but also very exciting to have someone just unconstrained by well, being liked, for one thing. He doesn't care if he's liked, doesn't care if he's applauded or booed. That's a thrilling thing. But also the fact that that allows him to get at truths that other people would not dare confront I think is -
Tavis: You used two words I want to pick up on - frightened and excited. I can confess this to you now that we're chums and you're on the show here. When I saw you at that James Taylor concert backstage in James' dressing room, I wanted to immediately run up and speak to you because I'm such a huge fan, and you would think that as one who does this every night, I should know better.
But I was excited to meet you and frightened because I didn't know whether Hugh Laurie was like House.
Laurie: Oh, that I was going to start getting all sort of mean and sarcastic?
Tavis: (Laughs) I didn't know what to expect in that moment. When I saw how nice you were to James, I said, "Well, let me just venture out and introduce myself to Hugh Laurie."
Laurie: No, I am -
Tavis: People ask you - do you get this sometimes from people on the street?
Laurie: I am sweetness and light and puppy dogs' ears, that's me. (Laughter)
Tavis: People tend to confuse actors with characters.
Laurie: They do, they do, yes. I suppose there may be - but of course I wouldn't be aware of it that much, because that means people would simply avoid me. Come to think of it, they do. (Laughter) That may be for a whole raft of reasons that I'm not - yes, I suppose they might do. If that's the case, I suppose I should be able to turn that to my advantage somehow. (Laughter) I should be able to use that to propel myself into - I could intimidate people into various situations.
Tavis: I should know better, though, so I'm glad I got past that fear.
Laurie: Well, thank you.
Tavis: I know how these things work - you're not going to tell me too much about the new season, but what are you going to tell me about why we should tune in this year?
Laurie: Well, we've taken a bold move. We're having sort of teased a relationship between these two characters, between House and his boss, Lisa Cuddy. We've teased this thing and played with it and flirted with it for six years now. We've finally taken the leap and it's a gamble with the audience. Some people will like it, some people won't.
I think we had to do it because I don't think you can just go do the same thing year-in, year-out, particularly when part of what you're doing is about characters. We're not about just solving crimes, where you can sort of process endless fingerprints and DNA results have come back and all that sort of stuff.
We are actually telling stories about characters, and I think eventually we had to do something of this nature. But it's a gamble, and that in itself is frightening and exciting. People may say, "I won't have anything to do with it," and other people may say, "This is where it was always headed."
Tavis: House and Cuddy - Huddy.
Laurie: Huddy is (unintelligible) yeah.
Tavis: We'll see how that works out.
Laurie: Right.
Tavis: I'm so glad you came on. It's an honor to meet you.
Laurie: Thank you; it's a real pleasure, a real pleasure.
Tavis: Oh, I've enjoyed the conversation immensely. Good to have you here.
Laurie: Thanks.
Tavis: Hugh Laurie from "House," Mondays at 8:00 on Fox.

Dr House : Hugh Laurie dans les Simpson 14-10-2010 - 15h58
Après Mark Zuckerberg (dimanche dernier), c’est au tour de Hugh Laurie de prêter sa voix à l’un des personnages des Simpson . Selon TV Guide, il rejoindra Daniel Radcliff dans l’épisode spécial Halloween, le 7 novembre.
D’après TV Guide, Dr House (Hugh Laurie) va donc bientôt faire un petit tour du coté des Simpson. Le 7 novembre, l’acteur Hugh Laurie rejoindra Daniel Radcliff, l’autre guest déjà annoncée dans le fameux épisode spécial Halloween. Chacun sera la star de sa propre petite histoire, puisque comme chaque année cet épisode spécial se scindera en plusieurs parties.
Ainsi, dans la seconde histoire, Daniel Radcliff sera la voix du personnage parodiant Robert Pattinson dans Twilight.
Et dans la troisième partie intitulée « Master and Cadaver », Hugh Laurie prêtera sa voix à Roger, un mystérieux naufragé qui vient saborder la seconde lune de miel d’Homer et Marge.
Pour la 22ème saison des Simpson, la liste des guests ne cesse donc de s’allonger. Dimanche dernier Mark Zuckerberg s’illustrait dans son propre rôle dans l’épisode intitulé « Loan-o-Lisa ». Par la suite, Katy Perry , Russel Brand et sûrement beaucoup d’autre, devraient passer par Springfield, dans les mois à venir.

How Hugh Laurie became the biggest star of US TV From upper-class twit to grumpy doctor, he's come a long way
By Ed Power Monday October 18 2010
Hugh Laurie's role on House has made him a household name in the US. Picture: Getty Images
Starring Hugh Laurie and his peculiar stab at an American accent, House is surely the most unlikely TV phenomenon since Twin Peaks (which stopped being a phenomenon when everyone twigged it was being weird simply for the sake of it).
For starters, Laurie's character -- the eponymous Dr Gregory House -- is thoroughly unlikeable, an anti-hero par excellence. Grumpy and headstrong, he has all the charm of a traffic warden whose foot you've just reversed over.
This is a rather radical departure, as male TV doctors are typically dreamboats: see George Clooney's Dr Doug Ross from ER and Patrick Dempsey's Derek Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy.
Furthermore, unlike most medical dramas, House actually features a lot of, 'er, medicine.
Each week, House and his team are called on to investigate an obscure condition, the more grotesque the better. This is quite rare for hospital shows, in which the primary concern is often which members of staff are sleeping with each other and where the patients are usually glorified background props.
Some of the bizarre -- and true life -- conditions used as plot points on House include a brain tumour that causes the patient to lie habitually and the case of a CIA agent poisoning himself with Brazil nuts (he thinks he's the subject of a conspiracy).
"There seem to be no limits to the ways the human body can break down," enthused show creator David Shore, who has revealed that he modelled the main character not on any real-life doctors, but on Sherlock Holmes.
Holmes was a master crime solver. And yet he was also known to make mistakes and House certainly isn't above the occasional bad call.
One of House's goals, says Shaw, is to remind audiences that, for all their 'Master of the Universe' airs and graces, high-flying medics can mess up too.
"What House shows," Sanders says, "is that on the way to being right, we're often wrong. And that is something doctors have never been able to talk about."
However unlikely, the formula has proved remarkably successful. Aired in 66 countries, House was the most-watched TV programme in the world in 2008, with an estimated viewership of 88 million. In the United States it regularly pulls in more than 20 million per episode.
But perhaps the most surprising thing about House is that it has turned Hugh Laurie, best known in this part of the world for cornering the market in upper-class twits in Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster, into one of the biggest stars on US TV.
Rumoured to be earning $400,000 an episode, Laurie has completely reinvented himself, portraying a character who couldn't be further removed from the nice-but-dim types he'd built his career upon in Britain.
Nobody, it would seem, has been more shocked by all of this than Laurie himself. After playing House for seven years, he still appears astonished to find himself living in LA and enjoying the same name recognition as Oprah Winfrey. Sometimes, he has confessed, he wonders if it isn't all a very strange dream.
"There are a lot of days when I feel as if I have been woken from a coma and told six years have gone by, and I have no awareness of it," he said in June. "Is Queen Elizabeth still on the throne? Do we still drive on the left? Do we still have pounds?"
On the other hand, he and his alter-ego do have some things in common. Beneath the gruff veneer, House is clearly of a tortured soul. Despite his background in comedy, the same might be said of Laurie, who has been seeing a therapist since he was in his 20s, has a history of antidepressant use and confesses to being often unable to enjoy his success.
"If I don't have a stone in my shoe, I'll put one in there," he said last year. "Perhaps my version of happiness consists of not being happy. That could be my comfort zone."
One thing that certainly doesn't agree with Laurie is hyper-fame. He confesses to being baffled anyone would wish to 'pap' him, was astonished to be mobbed in Spain last year and considered it beyond farcical that a French magazine should name him the world's most seductive man.
When a fan of House requested that he visit her dying mother to give her some comfort, he didn't know whether to laugh or weep.
"The woman wants to meet a fictional character, and that's an unanswerable request. It's so hard to know how to deal with it. You don't want to shatter anyone's illusions, but I'd feel so fraudulent. I might as well dress up as Jesus and do the rounds."
See House on 3e weekdays at midnight.

Voice Cast Announced for Arthur Christmas Source: Sony Pictures Animation November 2, 2010
James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, and Ashley Jensen, have joined the voice cast of the 3D, CG-animated family comedy, Arthur Christmas. The film, produced by Aardman Animations for Sony Pictures Animation, is slated for release November 23, 2011.
Set on Christmas night, the story of Arthur Christmas at last reveals the incredible, never-before seen answer to every child's question: 'So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?' The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic – a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero, Arthur, with an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns.
McAvoy leads the cast as Arthur, the good-natured but clumsy younger son of Santa. Arthur LOVES everything to do with Christmas; indeed, he is the only one in his family still captivated by the magic of the holiday. Laurie will play Arthur's older brother Steve, heir to the reins, a cool, incredibly capable guy who has given the North Pole high-tech efficiency, military-style precision. Broadbent plays Santa, who pictures himself as the guy in charge at the North Pole, but is now more of a figurehead as the operation has outgrown him. Nighy plays Santa's 136-year-old father, Grandsanta, a cranky old codger who hates the modern world, is always grumbling that Christmas 'was better when I was Santa' and has a tense relationship with Steve, who he calls 'A postman with a spaceship.' Jensen will play Bryony, a lowly elf from the Giftwrap Battalion, with an eager-to-please attitude and an obsession with wrapping and bows. Imelda Staunton rounds out the cast as Mrs. Santa, dedicated wife and mother to her husband and sons.
The director of Arthur Christmas is Sarah Smith. The screenplay is by Peter Baynham and Sarah Smith. Barry Cook is Co-Director. Producer is Steve Pegram. Production Designer is Evgeni Tomov. Executive Producers are Carla Shelley, Peter Lord and David Sproxton. Michael Giacchino and Adam Cohen are the composers.
Commenting on the announcement, Smith said, "We are thrilled to have assembled such a phenomenal group of actors for 'Arthur Christmas.' Not only are they all terrifically funny, charming and characterful but they have also brought an emotional subtlety and depth that gives the film great heart."
