Renowned actor Hugh Laurie, recognized for his dynamic roles in Blackadder and House, recently strolled under the sun with his cherished dog, presenting a subdued demeanor distinct from his usual vibrancy. Clad in a navy sweater, dark blue hat, black slacks, and sneakers, Laurie appeared decidedly unenergetic compared to his typical self, seemingly affected by the weight of his latest venture.
Laurie, at 62, embarked on a new endeavor with the launch of his sitcom, “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?” The series, a murder mystery adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1934 novel, boasts an ensemble cast featuring Hollywood luminaries. Notable names include Will Poulter as Bobby Jones, Frances Derwent as Lady Frances Derwent, and Emma Thompson and Jim Broadbent portraying Lady Frances Marcham’s aristocratic parents.
Notably, Laurie dons the hat of both director and actor, embodying psychotherapist Dr. James Nicholson. Expressing his teenage fascination for Christie’s novel, Laurie underscores his privilege in contributing to this captivating narrative, vowing to bring his best to ensure a compelling rendition of the ensemble’s tale.
