Hugh Laurie: The Biography

April 12, 2023

The House That Hugh Laurie Built: An Unauthorized Biography and Episode Guide.

Although it is neither a definitive nor an authorized biography of actor Hugh Laurie, Paul Challen’s synoptic overview of Laurie’s life and career should appeal to its intended audience of “House watchers—professional critics, bloggers, and casual fans alike.”

Relying mostly on secondary sources of published articles from newspapers, magazines, and websites, the book breezes along in anecdotal magazine style with about one-quarter of its pages devoted to Laurie’s family background, early upbringing and education, entry into the entertainment business, and interests in music, motorcycles, rowing, and boxing — interests that at times appear in episodes of the show. Another 10 percent contains two- to three-page profiles on cast members Lisa Edelstein, Robert Sean Leonard, Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, and writer and series creator David Shore (born in London, Ontario). The remainder of the book provides detailed critiques for the episodes
