Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) on Conan Obrien

I loved him back in Fry and Laurie/Blackadder... I'm always amazed that people don't know he's actually a Brit.

Part 2 here:

instructions for merging those multi-part youtube videos into a custom player/playlist (youtube account required)

... though after trying to go through them myself, Step IV's "create custom player button" appears to be missing from YT's playlist UI ... anybody care to enlighten me?

While your making your playlist there should be a check-box for "allow embed of playlist"

That's not Hugh Laurie. He looks like him, but no way that voice could ever come from Dr. House.

And... Conan talks too much. That's the "didn't click" part. He needs to stop interviewing people, he can't shut up long enough for them to respond.

I really don't think all of you people saying they didn't click have really seen much of Hugh on tv. He's depressive, he has been diagnosed as such, he doesn't appear 'up' when just in conversation. In fact, I see him as being more relaxed than in some other interviews here. It's just Hugh, you get the feeling that he'd be quite draining to actually live with/be around. He's a bit more like House than the Fry and Laurie/BlackAdder in person.

Jamie Bamber (Apollo, Battlestar Galactica) is remarkably British too. Obviously American accents are easy, because whenever an American feigns a British accent, it sounds absurd.


James Marsters excepted of course.

Nope, the gentleman who portrays Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, aka William The Bloody, was born, grew up, and still lives in CALLY-FORN-EE-AH.

Giles (Anthony Michael Head) -who is very British- was his voice coach, from what I understand. Even members of the crew didn't know he was a Northern Cali boy.

It's a known fact to persons who know how to speak english well and emulate USA's accent, which is very easy yes, that US citizens try to deepen their voice tone as much as possible by crackling the syllabs with the throat instead of actually talking. Even USA women do this. Although Hollywood stars (which are the face of USA for a big part of the world) don't do this for they've had speech coaches for sure. Except Owen Wilson, so check his voice as an example.

In every language there's always a lame way of turning a perfectly normal accent into a ridiculous sound. Crackling is US' thing. So when Hugh Laurie speaks with the british accent, his voice seems to change in tone and "shape".

About Laurie and O'brien not clicking, I think that's what happens when a comedian who is an inteligent person out of character (Laurie) meets an intelligent person that yerns to be out of character (O'brien) whenever before someone with whom he identifies himself with and admires.
