James Hugh Calum Laurie, OBE (born 11 June 1959), known as Hugh Laurie (/ˈhjuː ˈlɒri/), is an English actor, voice artist, comedian, writer, musician, recording artist, and director. He first became known as one half of the Fry and Laurie double act, along with his friend and comedy partner Stephen Fry, whom he joined in the cast of Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster from 1987 to 1999.
From 2004 to 2012, he played Dr Gregory House, the protagonist of House, for which he received two Golden Globe awards, two Screen Actors Guild awards, and six Emmy nominations. As of August 2010, Laurie is the highest paid actor in a drama series on US television. He has been listed in the 2011 Guinness Book of World Records as the highest paid actor ever in a TV Drama—earning US$ 700,000 per episode in House—and for being the most watched leading man on television.
Laurie was born in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. The youngest of four children, Laurie has an older brother named Charles and two older sisters named Susan and Janet. He had a somewhat strained relationship with his mother, Patricia (née Laidlaw). His father, Ran Laurie, was a medical doctor who also won an Olympic gold medal in the coxless pairs (rowing) at the 1948 London Games.
Oranges
Isn't it strange who you end up with
Wanting other than you thought you did
Isn't it funny you're as different from me
As oranges from apples
As the Finnish from the French
As back to front and inside out
As starting from the end
As milk from wine
As snow from sunshine
As the sky from the sea
As Kate Moss from me?
You're apples
And I'm oranges
It's all the same to me
Without the dark night
There would be no daylight
So I'm gonna follow you like "d" follows "c"
Like you follow me ...
Isn't it strange who you end up with
Wanting one thing - getting the opposite
Isn't it funny you're as different from me
As soup from ice cream
As those who sleep, from who dreams
As candlelight from spotlight
As coffee from tea
As the relatively straight
From those who'd take both
As those who go down
From those who think it's gross?
You're apples
And I'm oranges
It's all the same to me
Without the dark night
There would be no daylight
So I'm gonna follow you like "d" follows "c"
Like you follow me ...
You're strawberries
I'm bananas
You're starfruit
I'm a mango
You're juicy
I'm getting thirsty
You're a kiwi
I'm hungry
