After two years of missing Dr. Gregory House in television sets across America, news is officially out: Hugh Laurie's "Veep" appearance will be a reality, and he'll at last be coming back to television, though his role is yet to be determined.
For those who miss the world's favorite investigative doctor who never diagnoses lupus, at least now they'll get to see Hugh Laurie's "Veep" stint. According to several news outlets such as E! News, the British actor most famous for playing an American doctor with a temper in "House" will join the cast of the award-winning HBO comedy.
Now, an unlikely scenario presents itself: a British man in the White House! While it is unclear what role Hugh Laurie's "Veep" stance will be playing, some news outlets like Entertainment Weekly have been pondering around that the fact that the show is now in serious need of a new vice president after the way things ended in the last season.
In case Hugh Laurie's "Veep" role is actually that of a new vice president for Julia Louis-Dreyfus' recently occupied big position at the White House, it wouldn't be any surprise: a lot of people don't even know Laurie is British, after his years playing an American character on Fox in "House"!
While Hugh Laurie's "Veep" performance will be his first in television after "House," it won't be the only thing he'll have going on in television in the upcoming months: according to Digital Spy, he has a new television show on AMC called "The Night Manager," in which he'll be teaming up with Tom Hiddleston, the man most famous for playing super baddie Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (most notably in the "Thor" movies and the first "Avengers")
In any case, for those who only know Laurie from his dramatic stint as Dr. Gregory House, it's important to note that he's actually a veteran in comedy, having been a part of a comedy duet with Stephen Fry for years. So, no doubt Hugh Laurie's "Veep" performance will be absolutely hilarious!
