Hugh Laurie praised for ‘baller' response to Dr House invitation
Hugh Laurie reportedly declined an invitation to revisit his role as Dr Gregory House, stating he "frankly doesn't care about the audience or reliving the show."
Dr Mikhail Varshavski said he had received the curt refusal after inviting Laurie onto his podcast, Doctor Mike, to discuss the role.
Episode guest Noah Wyle (ER 's Dr John Carter) called the response 'baller,' while Varshavski labelled it a 'direct and honest reply.'
Fans online noted the curt response was in character for the misanthropic Dr House, with one sharing a clip captioned: "Hugh Laurie embodied House in that moment."
The British actor and comedian, 66, played the cantankerous Dr House on the Fox medical drama series House from 2004 to 2012.
