Gregory House, MD — typically referred to simply as House — is the title character of the American medical drama series House. Portrayed by English actor Hugh Laurie, he leads a team of diagnosticians as the Head of Diagnostic Medicine at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey based on Yale-New Haven Hospital.
House's character, created by David Shore, has been described as a misanthrope, cynic, narcissist, and curmudgeon, the last of which was named one of the top television words of 2005 in honor of the character. He is the only character to appear in all 177 episodes and except for Wilson's brief appearance, is the only regular character to appear in the season six premiere.
In the series, the character's unorthodox diagnostic approaches, radical therapeutic motives, and stalwart rationality have resulted in much conflict between him and his colleagues. House is also often portrayed as lacking sympathy for his patients, a practice that allots him time to solve pathological enigmas. The character is partly inspired by Sherlock Holmes. A portion of the show's plot centers on House's habitual use of Vicodin to manage pain stemming from a leg infarction involving his quadriceps muscle some years earlier, an injury that forces him to walk with a cane. This addiction is also one of the many parallels to Holmes, who was a habitual user of cocaine.
James Hugh Calum Laurie, OBE (born 11 June 1959) (/ˌhjuː ˈlɒri/), is an English actor, writer, director, musician, singer, comedian, and author. He first became known as one-half of the Fry and Laurie double act with his friend and comedy partner Stephen Fry, whom he joined in the cast of A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Blackadder, and Jeeves and Wooster in the 1980s and 1990s.
From 2004 to 2012, he played Dr. Gregory House, the protagonist of House, for which he received two Golden Globe awards and two Screen Actors Guild awards. Laurie was listed in the 2011 Guinness World Records as the most watched leading man on television and was one of the highest-paid actors in a television drama, earning £250,000 ($409,000) per episode in House.
Laurie was born in Oxford. The youngest of four children, he has an older brother named Charles Alexander Lyon Mundell Laurie and two older sisters named Susan and Janet. He had a strained relationship with his mother, Patricia (née Laidlaw). He notes that his mother "was Presbyterian by character, by mood" and that he was "a frustration to her... she didn't like me". His father, William George Ranald Mundell Laurie, was a doctor who also won an Olympic gold medal in the coxless pairs (rowing) at the 1948 London Games.
Best known as the sardonic Dr. Gregory House on the medical drama “House,” English actor Hugh Laurie is now taking on a very different role as an international arms dealer in the TV miniseries “The Night Manager.” He said he was three chapters into the 1993 John le Carre novel on which it was based when he decided it had to be put on screen. Of Dr. House, he says, “I love the character and always will.” » Subscribe to TODAY: http://on.today.com/SubscribeToTODAY » Watch the latest from TODAY: http://bit.ly/LatestTODAY About: TODAY brings you the latest headlines and expert tips on money, health and parenting.

Don't forget to watch it in HD. Haven't been making many videos lately, but I do have a few different ideas and projects in mind that I plan on getting to so stay tuned. Also, if there's anything you'd like to ask or suggest, anything you want to see, just let me know. That is if you have a shred of intelligence to keep a proper conversation. This video is mainly dedicated to this organism: https://www.youtube.com/user/cardiffgiant02 She urged me at gunpoint to finish the series so I finally did and figured I'd make a video. I did have ten other thoughts what to do with the video, but I ended on something more simplistic. Guess I'll have to amaze another time. Music: Mad World by Gary Jules (Instrumental).

"Faith isn't based on logic and experience" "you talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic" "Isn't it interesting that religious behavior is so close to being crazy we can't tell it apart?" Nun: "Sister Augustine believes in things that aren't real."

The sea was smooth, the wind was calm
However, it was a great surprise for those innocent
people
To see a maze of rocks and icebergs
Suddenly the sea surged, winds formed waves ten meters
high
Slamming into an iceberg drove some people mad
The hull was pierced
Life boats were prepared but waves submerged them
People died in frozen water
In less than an hour half of the passagers disappeared
Every hour, the boat sank meter after meter
When rescuers arrived they saw nothing
