What price fame? That's a question often dangled at successful individuals who've either had to make sacrifices or shady choices to get where they are. It's not, however, something the public would necessarily think associated with the British star of FOX's hit medical dramedy, House.

American viewers, as well as many others from various parts of the globe have embraced Hugh Laurie as the irreverent, snide, tactless genius, Dr. Gregory House. Yet, despite the ratings and awards triumphs to back this up, Laurie seems to have also paid a price for doing exceptionally well in the Hollywood scene and the world stage. Ironically, that price seems to have been the loss of place in his native Britain.

"...it's even worse hearing my American accent. I had no idea I sound so retarded - a dull monotone full of clunking mistakes."

Wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm a big voice person. It's the first thing I notice about a person. Hugh Laurie's House voice is absolutely wonderful, the kind of voice you love to listen to.
