Hugh Laurie, who stars in the hit TV medical drama "House," was made a member of the Order of the British Empire on Wednesday.

Queen Elizabeth II presented the honor to Laurie at Buckingham Palace.

The 47-year-old actor has been part of the comedy establishment in Britain for more than 20 years. He was a member of the Cambridge Footlights comedy group along with Emma Thompson and
Stephen Fry.

Laurie and Fry landed their own sketch show, "A Bit of Fry and Laurie," in 1987. They also starred in "Jeeves and Wooster," a hugely popular TV version of P.G Wodehouse's comic stories.

Laurie's film roles include "Sense and Sensibility," "Peter's Friends" and "Stuart Little."

He has won two Golden Globe awards for his role on "House" as the brilliant but flawed Dr. Gregory House, who heads a medical team specializing in the diagnosis of rare disorders.

He now spends most of his time in Los Angeles for his role on News Corp.'s Fox network show.

Raph's Girl note: House got knighted!

House is my favorite show, hands down no contest! Love house and love Laurie. This is great news.

Wow. Do you think this will show in House? I mean, what if he decides to start limping around in a suit of armor?

I doubt it... the actor may be British but the character is American.

Yeah, you totally need to from Norway to be fond of Vikings. Or Japanese to be fan of Samurai. Shame on everyone who dares mock other countries' national icons.

Congratulations to Mr. Laurie... He's a fantastic actor!

Hugh's earned this, but when oh when will Lord Flasheart receive a knighthood?

He's not a knight, he has an O.B.E.. They're entirely different things.

*Drtooth* · 05-31-2007, 11:33 AM

I love Hugh Laurie and all, but everyone ONLY knows him as House, and not many people bring up his body of British comedy work.

I can never sit through House... I keep thinking of Laurie as the stupid foppish prince from Black Adder the Third.

BTW, was there ever an episode of House with Steven Fry as a guest star. I swear I saw that one as I flipped through the channels.

Dinny · 05-31-2007, 02:49 PM

Not to mention his similar and equally excellent portrayal of Lieutenant George in Blackadder Goes Forth and his work on A Bit of Fry and Laurie.

To clarify my earlier point, the title of the thread is wrong as he is not Sir Hugh Laurie, his title would be Hugh Laurie O.B.E..

Nah, I knew him from Blackadder and all that, also.

And no matter what he's actually called, he deserves it, and congrats again.
