Hugh Laurie is a talented guy. He's probably most well known nowadays for the American TV series House but he had a solid career writing and acting in comedy programmes on UK TV for 20 years before house. He also graduated from Cambridge University with a good degree and did a lot of rowing as a student. He's a bit like a Swiss army knife, able to adapt to any situation. Just like his friend Steven Fry.
As far as I am aware, Laurie has only written one novel, The Gun Seller. It's a great book and he should write more. It's written as a first person narrative so I couldn't help but imagine the main character as looking like Laurie in his House persona. The storyline is very cinematic and I could see this book being made into a decent comedy/thriller at some point.
Worth finding. Hope he writes more.
