Thanks to House, Hugh Laurie is often seen as this very gruff and sarcastic guy so it’s easy to forget that he has a lot of comedic acting credits to his name.
As someone who was introduced to him through some Fry and Laurie sketches and Blackadder, which he did before House, Newton is closer to what he started as than House is
Really ... I felt like those two aren't same person . I tho they both absolutely different person tho no way . How from little Stuart dad personality change into Dr house wow lol . Huge difference
I forgot if it was the director or the producer of the show but they didn't want a British guy to play House. Hugh put on such a convincing American accent that he tricked them. I believe they found out too late and just gave up.
I mean to be fair if you are the actor for a character, you likely also do their voice, which is acting in and of itself, so he is technically the VA for House
I know Hugh Laurie is british and I heard him speak non-american many times, but THIS is another level of using a different accent and tone of voice. I would have never guessed Hugh behind this character.
@@Mannco.orange I played this game like crazy during the point in my life where most of my nostalgia comes from. I lived in another country for 3 years when I was around 7 so the nostalgia tends to come from that period and that period only. Lots of people say LBP3 is bad but i haven’t played any of the other ones and i don’t want to change my mind.
Fun fact: After I watched this video, I somehow stumbled across a YT short that starred him, Rowan Atkinson(Mr. Bean), & some other dude doing a British skit & I was SHOCKED!
Yeah, the three were in a show called Black Adder together (it’s a show about them being medieval buddies, haven’t watched it in a while but it was Monty python esc humor), me and my dad only watched that and ‘Fry and Laurie’, so I only knew Hugh Laurie as a comedian and when I first watched House I was shocked 😭
@@birdquest8695 I just noticed a few days ago when reading the credits of the game an recognizing his face. I was so shock I just haaad to make a video
He was also the voiced of one of the characters from 2 British animated Christmas specials that came out the early 2000s like "Lost in the Snow" and "Second Star to the Left" (which I do remember seeing those specials on TV as a kid).
During that time he didn’t have a lot of roles so he wasn’t that busy. Also, Newton is the main antagonist of the game. He has about 5 hours of voicelines put together
I remember MysteriousMrEnter saying that he didn't understand why Hugh Laurie kept doing a fake British accent. Not even in his top 10 most embarrassing moments.
That’s some hella impressive vocal range (and also, please tell me it wasn’t just me who when the saw the patient went “Fisher, the depressed intern!” ((I’m an avid Bones watcher, okay?))
As someone who's never played LBP, I would have never assumed that they were the same guy. I kind of wish I hadn't seen this, because now when I see the game I feel so on edge because I can't help but hear Dr. House acting happy and polite, which is usually what he does right before delivering a killer roast to a patient.
Hugh Laurie has an extremely posh British accent, in the first season of House you can hear him still trying to develop his American accent in certain scenes. His appearance in Veep (among other shows like Blackadder and The Night Manager) really shows the truly versatile talent of this man.
For the longest time, I didn't know he was also the dad in Stuart Little until my sister pointed it out, this guy was in my childhood and I was clueless until last year
He actually got started in comedic work, House was a huge shift from his first works in stuff like Blackadder, A bit of Fry and Laurie, and Jeeves and Wooster. Stephen Fry has also done a decent amount of voice work (Fable 3, for example).
Wait until you realize he had a Cameo in Family Guy season 2. ...and _then_ came back in Season 8 as Dr House, and whips out _both_ his Regular voice and his House voice!
To anyone that stumbles across this video in the future. He's british, the american is more of an act than the LittleBigPlanet character.
Seeing how long he acted in House MD he may as well be an american by now😂
@@Kalashimi actually he still struggles with the accebt all the time as far as we know
I looked at the thumbnail and immediately knew he was British just by looking at him
Makes sense, considering his American accent sounds exactly like Eggs Benedict Cumberland's.
English actually not british, british means English/Irish/Welsh/Scottish
He's Dr. Cockroach from Monsters vs Aliens
I was trying to think why he sounded so familiar!
WHAT?
He IS?!
@@daffytaffy5966 Also Steve from Arthur Christmas
@@ironclanex6351 I had to look up what that was, holy shit I saw this movie like one time xddd

House keeps making me forget Hugh Laurie is British in real life.
I originally knew him from black adder as George, he was so hilarious
the clip from Friends during a flight it's more obvious
@@thelittleal1212same
Reminder that House is the clown in a show that is funny almost all the time
Ah yes, Doctor House's voice actor
He's doing a voice for the character
He's not american 😂
@@miniature030but he's not JUST voice acting, he is the actor in its entirety
Doctor who??
@@BOidoesStuff1just get back in the damn tardis
@@BOidoesStuff1no, that’s a different actor
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS, FROM DOCTOR HOUSE TO MR BOUNCE THIS AINT REAL CHIEF!!!!!
Who is Mr bounce?
@@AfgonYT.Yuh
I couldn't believe that he's also George from Blackadder, like he and House are so completely contrasting
As someone who was introduced to him through some Fry and Laurie sketches and Blackadder, which he did before House, Newton is closer to what he started as than House is
beleive this, dr house is the singer/pianist for a blues band
The range is insane, you couldn't easily tell because it's not just the extreme accent difference, but also the voice and tone. Insane
Finally a "same actor" video that doesn't sound exactly the same
0:44 *Vietnam flashbacks*
Crazy
Shellshock
Cockroach Scientist flashbacks
More like WWI Western Front flashbacks
@@Selvariabell was that meant to be a joke?
0:45 That's the most George from blackadder voiceline ever! 😂
I didn't even realize they're the same actor.
Like that time he compliments Sir Talbot Buxomly lol
Yes, exactly lol
I swear all I could imagine was Lieutenant George from Blackadder Goes Forth when he met the general in the trenches lmao. Such an iconic series...
@@olslimy6428 so accurate! 😂
He's also the dad from Stuart Little
Omfg how did I never notice that!?
WTF he is. Didn't even need to look it up I can just picture it from remembering the movie.😅
“We do not eat family members!” 🤣
Really ... I felt like those two aren't same person . I tho they both absolutely different person tho no way . How from little Stuart dad personality change into Dr house wow lol . Huge difference
I now regret reading your comment and discovering this connection.
Love the idea that he's so good at faking an American accent that some consider it voice acting
@@NIDELLANEUM I just said voice acting because that’s what most people title this type of video

@@techietisdead oh yeah you’re right, thanks!
There is also 'A bit of Fry and Laurie' which is really great.
@@amalkrishnanajay5907 THE “mystery” SONG 🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you’ve ever played LittleBigPlanet 3 (the game where the second clip is from) you can especially tell they are the same person from the Duh at 0:19
How did I not realize Hugh Laurie voiced Newton?
@@birdquest8695 I just noticed a few days ago when reading the credits of the game an recognizing his face. I was so shock I just haaad to make a video
People forget that before being snarky Dr House, Hugh Laurie was mostly known for playing a likeable fool in Jeeves and Woosters.
And Blackadder.
Such a great show.
Bertie: By jove, Jeeves. Do you know everything?
Jeeves: I really don't know, sir.
He was also EB's dad from Hop.
FR?!! love that movie
I love that clips from house MD you got were from yt shorts, still with the music and subtitles
Didnt want to get HBO max or paramount plus or whatever for this one video
George survived WW1. Good for him
Ahh a fellow Black Adder I see
"Tally Ho, Pip Pip, and Bernard's your Uncle"
“Permission to shout ‘bravo’ at an annoyingly loud volume, sir?”
I don't hear House, I hear George
No way, Newton Pudd was Dr. House this whole time
The visceral reaction I had triggered every crit and stagger/guard break sfx i could think of
He’s also Steve from Arthur Christmas
Fun Fact: There is an interview uploaded on youtube of Hugh Laurie speaking about his experience/view on voicing Newton
if you think that's weird, watch him play the Prince Regent in Blackadder the Third. I swear it's a trip
why was i expecting the voice to be "did you try the medicine drug"
You are a black man.
“The second reason is your on drugs.”
“I’m not..!”
“I am.”
He was also the voiced of one of the characters from 2 British animated Christmas specials that came out the early 2000s like "Lost in the Snow" and "Second Star to the Left" (which I do remember seeing those specials on TV as a kid).
I love this video. Hugh Laurie is so awesome
0:35 It's Wooster! From Jeeves and Wooster
“What ho, Jeeves!”
Another scheme to get away from the aunts
You gave me a rush of two completely different nostalgic memories
Our House, in the middle of our House.
"Listen here Bl-adder I really think that we should listen to Baldrick on this one."
Loving how this was pulled not from the actual show, but from that one guy who posts the show on shorts
Why you gotta hit me such a gut punch of nostalgia, have you any idea of how much I miss Little bit planet?
THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON?!
Also LittleBigPlanet is so nostalgic
I didn't know he had the time to be doing smaller roles like Little Big Planet
During that time he didn’t have a lot of roles so he wasn’t that busy. Also, Newton is the main antagonist of the game. He has about 5 hours of voicelines put together
@@AfgonYT. Interesting
He also made two blues albums, and they're surprisingly fantastic!
0:27 sister location flashbacks
Thank you for selecting "Eggs Benedict"
Sounds just like when he's in the Blackadder season 4.
House MD keeps making me forget Hugh Laurie is British in real life 😭.
I had to use 110% of my brain power to imagine Hugh changing his tone and reading the script.
I remember MysteriousMrEnter saying that he didn't understand why Hugh Laurie kept doing a fake British accent. Not even in his top 10 most embarrassing moments.
In Italian, Dr House has the same voice actor as Johnny Bravo. And somehow, that voice fits for both. Rip Sergio Di Stefano
Newton was a childhood crush, House was an adult one... something about Hugh Laurie seems to entice me
I used to be a BIG little big planet fan and would play 3 like everyday, this video almost made me explode just from hearing the opening
“I am.” is crazy
I loved when Hugh Laurie voice acted over Hugh Laurie's performance
Hugh Laurie loves child things. He voice acted in several kids' movies.
Dr. House can do an amazing British impression
This just shows how talented he is
“Do you have hair on your special place?”
I did not expect him to be in LBP. Thats amazing
Eggs Benedict????????? Fnaf???????
I always thought the voice actor for house sounds like the voice actor for the main character in the game crime scene cleaner
It’s no coincidence I had a crush on both characters 😮😮😮
fitting for Hugh to find work on LBP, Stephen Fry narrated the whole series iirc? They've been lifelong friends.
The way my jaw dropped as a wave of childhood memories came flooding back to me
I cannot tell if he enjoyed voicing Newton or utterly hated it and that honestly horrifies me.
That’s some hella impressive vocal range (and also, please tell me it wasn’t just me who when the saw the patient went “Fisher, the depressed intern!” ((I’m an avid Bones watcher, okay?))
Those LittleBigPlanet cutscenes just had a different atmosphere to it, feels just right
Nana Pud: "My Newty!"
Newton: "Want some medicine drugs?"
"I'm noot"
"I am! 🤗"
Dude i wasn't expecting little big planet... That brings back good childhood memories
As someone who's never played LBP, I would have never assumed that they were the same guy. I kind of wish I hadn't seen this, because now when I see the game I feel so on edge because I can't help but hear Dr. House acting happy and polite, which is usually what he does right before delivering a killer roast to a patient.
@@Yeshio I’ve played LBP for years and still didn’t know. Lots of people here seem to be in the same boat
In all other jokes set aside, Hugh Laurie is such a great actor at anything he does ;)
My jaw hit the floor. LBP was my whole childhood. Had no idea he was in it
House was in Little Big Planet? That’s awesome!
He sounds like Dr. House saying things in a Goofy manner when he said Chum CHum
FINALLY, someone actually did it!
Little big planet karting....man that brings back memories

Hugh Laurie is up there in "Actors I refuse to believe are British". He's in the company of Daniel Kaluuya, John Boyega, and 2 live action Spider-Men.
the lbp3 gave me nostalgia 😭
I remember my first role of his was Mr. Little in Stuart Little 1 & 2.
He's got fucking range, I forgot he was British, let alone whimsically British
He actually got started in comedic work, House was a huge shift from his first works in stuff like Blackadder, A bit of Fry and Laurie, and Jeeves and Wooster. Stephen Fry has also done a decent amount of voice work (Fable 3, for example).
All ive learnt from this video is that if hugh laurie doesnt play dr house, his role almost certainly has the blackadder george voice
This man was Wooster in Jeeves and Wooster.
No fucking way, that actually enlightened me
THE NOSTALGIA FROM LITTLE. BIG PLANET 3 OMG
why does he look like Coldplay’s lead singer?
i cant believe he voice-acted 2 extremely different people
a psychopath
and dr. house
When people hear houses real accent it always shocks them
Wait until you realize he had a Cameo in Family Guy season 2.
...and _then_ came back in Season 8 as Dr House, and whips out _both_ his Regular voice and his House voice!
You can definitely tell it's the same voice, it's just that Hugh does a great American accent for Dr. House
He’s also the smarter henchman in the live action version of 101 Dalmatians
I don't lnow why but when I hear the cartoon character talk I just see House talking that way to someone
Damn, i miss LittleBigPlanet. The LBP2 days diving in and meeting people were peak.
The way my jaw dropped is actually indescribable
I saw House in the thumbnail and I knew that the second would be Newton.
@@raphaeldagamer that shows I chose a good thumbnail. Thanks for clicking
He was also the voice of Wing Commander Gutsy from Valiant, I would still watch if he played a WW1 or WW2 soldier
OMG NO WAY, THANK YOU FOR THIS
“He’s in a coma, Mrs. Griffin. And judging by the sound of your voice, I’d say he’s the lucky one.”
It's a shame Goerges American descendents aren't as humorous as he was.
... Ih hey, the star wars narrator.
He also played Steve In Arthur Christmas
