I've never seen him play anything other than a stoic dick. It's almost hard to think of him as a nice guy.

I'm sure many (American) people think Hugh Laurie is like House in real life too ๐Ÿ˜‚

American here, Iโ€™m a big fan of Stephen Fry so I knew about him from A Bit of Fry and Laurie. I know Iโ€™m an outlier in the statistics.
