I love ‘House‘ despite the fact the last few seasons have been a bit…crappy. Hugh Laurie, who plays the lovably bitchy doctor, has a back up career in case the whole acting thing doesn’t work out.
The self-taught guitar/piano playing wonder is about to release a blues album. He has been behind the piano or guitar and even belted out a tune or two on the show. Music group Warner has picked up his talents for an album due this fall. Guest musicians will join him to record some songs and Laurie is so excited he could just spit.
Via Telegraph:
”I am drunk with excitement at this opportunity. I know the history of actors making music is a chequered one, but I promise no one will get hurt. I am particularly thrilled to be working with Joe Henry, who has produced some of my favourite records of all time, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Looks like that claim that he and fellow cast and crew are too busy throwing knives, engaged in trailer sex and shooting cocaine into their eyeballs (click HERE for that story) hasn’t been too much of a problem for Hugh.
