Hugh Laurie is quite simply one of today's greatest actors, it just amazes me how long it took him to get recognised in America, which is thanks to hit-show House MD.

Already a recipient of two Golden Globes and a Screen Actors Guild award for the role of Dr. Gregory House - with hopefully an overdue Emmy to join that in a few days time, Hugh has just excelled where many Brits have failed - cracking the US market.

He is also noted for appearances in Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster, and the children's film Stuart Little.

Maybe one day he might also land a great role that could nab him an Oscar - Hugh, as you reach your 50th year, we raise a glass to you and hope you can continue where you've started from.
