'House'...of Lords,

Today, Americans know him as the heartthrob star of Fox's House -- but across the pond, he's been famous since the '80s. That's right: Hugh Laurie, who does an amazingly convincing American accent as TV's most misanthropic doctor, is actually British, beloved in the United Kingdom for his comedic roles on Blackadder and A Bit of Fry & Laurie.
