I wanted House for years until I finally saw an interview with Laurie where I learned he’s actually British. It completely blew my mind that not only his American accent was spot on but his acting was so incredible. It then lead me down the rabbit hole of binging Jeeves and Wooster, and A Bit of Fry and Laurie, which then lead me down the Steven Fry rabbit hole. Both incredibly brilliant actors.
Here’s the scene in its final form… very very similar delivery

Weird. I know how Hollywood works and there wasn’t a single sexual favor on that casting couch.
House is one of my favorite characters on TV. Hugh plays him perfectly.
What an interesting human being.
Is it just maybe or does is his delivery remind you of RDJ?
Probably helps that the video itself evokes the feeling of House doing the bare minimum of auditioning lol
Road House
He was good but I find it hard to believe that his audition was better than Tobias Funke’s.
