You mean you have never heard him on talk shows!!!!???

He has this clipped British accent that is so classy!!!

But you would never know it on HOUSE!!!!

He nails the american accent.

Kind of reminds me of Barry Morse (I know you never heard of him right??). Well, over 40 years ago there was a show on American tv called The Fugitive. It had a detective named Philip Gerard chasing David Jansen's Richard Kimble.

But Richard Kimble didn't kill his wife, the one armed man did it.

All during this series (from 1963) Inspector Gerard had this American Accent.
I thought he was from the United States.

WELL!!! one night, on a late time talk show, Barry Morse comes on, and just sits there and the talk show host goes to him. "Everybody thinks you talk like your character, Inspector Gerard, and the guy laughs and the talk show host goes 'Now let's let the audience hear your real voice!!!.

Well, you could have knocked me off my feet. This guy had a high pitched british accent that sounded NOTHING like he did on tv.

The whole audience went hysterical and it was the BEST!!!!

So every time I listen to Hugh Laurie who plays Greg House, it takes me back in time.

So if any of you wish to hear his REAL voice!!! here's a clip which I got on utube.
