Stephen Fry Interview Mentions Hugh Laurie

Grace is now my hero because she also sent me this tip about an interview with Stephen Fry about his role in V for Vendetta. He had this to say about his old pal, Hugh Laurie:

Q. Would you like Hugh Laurie to have been in this film and, if so, which character would he have been? And have you any plans to work with him again?
A. Well I nearly was in an episode of House. But it didn’t come together unfortunately. I had to be over here. There’s nothing Hugh can’t do as we now know from House. He’s a superb actor and he decided to be good looking which I thought was a rather cheap and obvious thing to be. Actors make their own choices and he decided to be handsome. I think my decision was rather more interesting, but still… He could have played many of the parts in V I think because he is so extraordinarily adaptable.
