| | USATODAY.com - Hugh Laurie gets into 'House' (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Laurie, 45, says he's fascinated by the character of Gregory House, an infectious-disease specialist at a New Jersey hospital who brutalizes colleagues and patients with his harsh honesty. |
 | | That eventually yielded Laurie, who auditioned via video shot in a hotel bathroom ("It was the only place with enough light," the actor says) in Namibia, where he was shooting the upcoming film Flight of the Phoenix. |
 | | Laurie says he's still learning the nature of the complex and contradictory House, whose medical mastery is countered by life challenges, including a leg disability, a reliance on painkillers and seemingly non-existent social skills. |
