Dan we had a local ExI gathering a few years ago when Damien Broderick came to town. You have never seen a table of geeks laugh harder than when Damien was trying to do an American accent.<br>
<br>
Hugh Laurie (who played Wooster) later did a terrific medical detective series called House. He played an American doctor. For the role he had to put on an American accent. He is a very talented guy and could do it almost without being detectable. <br>
<br>
I saw an interview where he and Steven Fry arranged to meet for dinner. Laurie had just come from shooting a House episode. He forgot to turn off the American accent. Fry doesn't think highly of yanks. He scolded his old friend: Come on Hugh, snap out of it man, etc. <br>
