It *would* be a huge departure for Fry! He'd have to be about a half meter shorter...

Sorry - Laurie, not Fry - brain disengaged right now!

Not only the accent - he's playing against type, really, and he has the limp as well.

I can only remember seeing him in upper class silly ass parts pre House.

House is a real departure for Fry and just shows what a good actor he is.

I have only *just* realized that the guy who plays House on TV, with an American accent, is the same guy who played Bertie Wooster to Stephen Fry's Jeeves - Hugh Laurie - who has a British accent when he's home. How could him having an American accent make him unrecognizable?!?
