Read Full BioHugh Laurie is an English actor and comedian. Originally part of Cambridge University Footlights Dramatic Club, he found fame playing various roles in the classic British comedy TV series "Blackadder." He is perhaps more famous for the legendary TV sketch show "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" where he performed with his Cambridge University chum, Stephen Fry. Since then he has appeared in various films (Maybe Baby, Girl from Rio, Flight of the Phoenix, Stuart Little) and television shows, and has done some theatre work in London's West End. Mr. Laurie was rumored to be a top contender for the role of "Doctor Who," (prior to David Tennant getting the part), however he was cast as Dr. Gregory House in the hit FOX medical drama "House, MD". Songfacts reports that Laurie is also an enthusiastic and keen musician, playing the piano, guitar, drums, harmonica, and saxophone. He has displayed his musical talents on several episodes of House, as well as on previous shows he starred in, such as A Bit Of Fry & Laurie. In 2010 Laurie played piano as a special guest on Meatloaf 's track If I Can't Have You.
After signing a contract with Warner Bros, Laurie released a blues album Let Them Talk , which was released initially in France on April 18, 2011 and later in the UK on May 9th.
He has written one novel, "The Gun Seller," and another one, "The Paper Soldier," is tentatively scheduled for September 2009. Mr. Laurie has some musical talent, notably the piano and mouth trumpet (he can make convincing trumpet sounds using just his mouth). He played '20s numbers on the piano in the TV series "Jeeves and Wooster" (again with Stephen Fry) in addition to some original comic songs in "A Bit Of Fry & Laurie." He is currently a member of "Band from TV" with several other TV personalities. He is married with children, although he has become somewhat of an absentee father due to his work on American television while his family stays in London.

Hugh Laurie Lyrics
I hate to see that
Evening sun go down
I hate to see that
Evening sun go down
'Cause my baby
Ain't gonna left this time
Feeling tomorrow
Like I feel today
What if I feel tomorrow
Like I feel today
I pack my trunk
And make my getaway

I hate to see that
Evening sun go down
I hate to see that
Evening sun go down
'Cause my baby
Ain't gonna left this time
Feeling tomorrow
Like I feel today
What if I feel tomorrow
Like I feel today
I pack my trunk
And make my getaway

I grew up with my Dad playing songs like this on banjo so I was thrilled to hear another 'take' on such a classic! From '47 Ginger Headed Sailors' to 'St. James Infirmary' you treat each piece with respect and grace. Thank you.

Sounds like the music from the era of Jeeves & Wooster.

So I've always loved Hugh: his sketch comedy is amazing, acting (esp. in NA as Dr. House) was also amazing, but his music is just phenomenal.
