That's Bertie Wooster.

Take a look at his lifeless 'performance' in Superman Returns.

Black Adder, are you sure this is the way to the queens heart?



Hey, I've seen Penn in some roles where I thought he was very effective. He was fairly effective in his part in "24", and he effectively played his role on Law & Order: SVU. So don't write him off.

Surely a guy with Sledgehammer in his sig can get a joke, no?

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

I can. And don't call me surely.

The article says that the new doctors will have "recurring roles". This does not necessarily mean that we have seen the last of Foreman, Chase, and Cameron, or even that they will not be series regulars anymore. Have their been other statements from Fox about their status?

Bleh. Figures I'd screw that up.

A thug with no lines...there wasn't much he could have done with that role.

Speaking of Hugh Laurie's versatility, he's a bit of a musician. Here's a tender country song called There ain't but one way

Great scene. All of that show is on DVD now, just released. I pre-ordered it, hope to receive it in a few days.

Hugh Laurie is a very good piano player too. There was a short bit of it in House M.D. (I think the first series, not sure). Played in a band for some time.

BTW, he played several more serious roles too, on TV and on stage as well. I even believe he did some Shakespeare on stage.

BTW (2), for an actor, comedy gets looked down on almost invariably, but it's extremey difficult to be really good in various comedy parts.
His timing in House M.D. - just watch it now and then (mostly I forget to do that). It's a delight.
